The filters can become clogged with time and reduce the
appliance's performance. That's why it is important to
adhere to the above changing intervals.
Damaged filters must be removed immediately.
ATTENTION:
These filters are not washable. The exhaust filter may
not be re-used.
NOTE:
If the motor protection filter is only slightly dirty, it can
help to beat out the dust over a dustbin. However, we
recommend to change the motor protection filter each
time you open a new box of dust ZChapter 6, "Spare
parts and disposal") filter bags.
1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the dust filter
bag as described in ZChapter 4.1, "Changing the dust
filter bag", steps 1 thru 4.
2. Remove the exhaust filter (Fig. 21/1).
Unlatch the lock and slightly lift the filter. Now you can
pull out the filter towards the front.
3. Insert a new exhaust filter (ZChapter 6, "Spare parts
and disposal") and push it down slightly until it locks into
the holder.
4. Replace the dust filter bag and close the dust

Make sure that that the exhaust filter is always properly
locked into position, otherwise the exhaust air will not be
properly filtered.
