Maintenance

Risk of electric shock from mains

appliance even if it is switched off.
Before carrying out any maintenance
work, switch the appliance off at the
wall socket and unplug it.
Emptying the dust container

 Empty the dust container before the
dust has reached the max marking
on the dust container.
 Pull the dust container handle up-
wards.
 Lift the dust container upwards to re-
move it.
The contents of the container can be
disposed of with normal domestic
waste, providing they consist of gen-
eral household dust only.
 Hold the dust container close to the
bin to prevent dust from billowing out.

into place.
 Insert the dust container into the va-
cuum cleaner from above so that it
audibly clicks into place.
 Push the handle down.
Cleaning the dust container

dust container. This should be cleaned
if it is obviously dirty.

container on its front.
 Release the filter frame and remove it.
 Empty the filter frame and rinse it un-
der cold running water.

Risk of damage caused by incor-
rect cleaning.
The filter frame can become dam-
aged and be less effective as a res-
ult.
Do not use washing-up liquid or any
pointed or sharp-edged objects to
clean the filter. Dry the filter frame
carefully after cleaning.

dust container so that it audibly clicks
into place.
