Using the dust collector
17
Figure
Set the power setting to maximum for the
best results when vacuuming.
We recommend that you reduce the setting
only when vacuuming very delicate materials.
Emptying the dust collector
To achieve an optimal result when vacuuming,
the dust collector should be emptied each time
the vacuum cleaner is used.

Turn the dust compartment locking lever in
the direction of the arrow to open the dust
compartment cover.

Figure
Release the two snap locks on the bottom
flap in the direction of the arrow, open the
flap until it clicks into the stop position and
the container will then empty the dirt in a
downwards direction.
If the bottom flap is very dirty, (thick dirt)
clean it before closing, by vacuuming it with
the crevice nozzle, for example.
(You must fit the dust bag in the vacuum
cleaner when you do this - see Figure 25)
Close the bottom flap so that it can be heard
snapping into position.
21
Figure
Put the dust bag back into the vacuum
cleaner and close the dust bag compartment
lid.
Caution: The inside of the dust container
!
may become scratched with use and start
to look opaque. This does not, however,
affect the performance of the vacuum
cleaner in any way, i.e. it will continue to
function as normal.
Cleaning the permanent filters and
micro filters in the dust container
The filters must be cleaned:
After any operating malfunctions, i.e. after a
blockage is cleared.
At least every six months.
22
Figure
Press the fastener on the rear side of the
container and remove the micro filter from the
bottom of the container.
Remove the permanent filter from the bottom
plate of the container.
23
Figure
Wash the micro- and permanent filters.
The filter must then be left to dry for at least
24 hours.
After cleaning, place the permanent filter on
the bottom plate of the container.
Put the micro filter onto the container and fix
it in place by pushing in the direction of the
arrow. You will hear the flap snap shut.
Blockages
Removing a blockage in the dust container.
24

Loosen the blockage, e.g. with a screwdriver,
and tap or vacuum it out.
(You must fit a dust bag in the vacuum
cleaner before vacuuming it out - see
Figure 25)
Close the bottom flap so that it can be heard
snapping into position.
Caution: The micro- and permanent filters
!
must be cleaned following any operating
