NOTE:
The dust container has to be emptied and cleaned regularly. Otherwise
emptying will get harder and harder or smells and bacteria might develop,
depending on what you have vacuumed up.
Therefore, it is best to empty the dust container after each vacuuming
session.
Empty and clean the dust container at the latest when the cleaning/
emptying display lights up (Fig. 30).
Also empty and clean the dust container every 3 months at the latest
before storing for a long time or before sending the appliance.
CAUTION:
Switch off the appliance before removing the dust container. This will
prevent dust from damaging the appliance.
1. Switch off the appliance ( ).
2. Pull the plug out of the plug socket.
3. Remove the dust container (Fig. 31).
4. Empty the dust container (Fig. 32).
NOTE:
You can dispose of the dust container with your regular domestic trash

tainer:

Also, do not use cleaning agents or brushes with hard bristles to
clean the dust container components.

Lower the reflector completely in the dust container (Fig. 40). Make
sure that its recess engages precisely in the protuberance of the dust
container.
Lock the filter screen by tightening it approx. 3 – 4 rotations in clock-
wise motion (Fig. 41).
Lock the main cyclone by tightening it approx. 15° in anti-clockwise
motion (Fig. 42 and 43).
