be left standing anywhere in the room. To do this, tilt
the vacuum cleaner forwards slightly in the direction

Emptying the dust container
10
Fig.
In order to achieve the best possible vacuuming re-
sults, the dust container should be emptied after every
use or, at the latest, when dust at one point in the dust
container has reached the marking.
We recommend that you not fill the dust container bey-
ond the marking, as this leads to considerable soiling
of the filter.
When emptying the dust container, always check how
dirty the outer filter unit is and, if necessary, clean it as
detailed in the "Cleaning the outer filter unit" instruc-
15
tions.

Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appli-
ance is switched off.
Never vacuum without the outer filter unit and its
fitted filter cartridge.

Filter care
Cleaning the plate filter
Your appliance is equipped with a "Sensor Control"
Function.
This function constantly monitors whether your vacu-
um cleaner is reaching its optimum power level. The
indicator light lets you know when you need to clean
the plate filter, so that the vacuum cleaner can reach
its optimum power level once more.

Sensor Control
The indicator lights up blue or is off when the appli-
ance is working at its optimum level. Once the indica-
tor turns red and flashes, the outer filter unit and filter
cartridge must be cleaned.
The appliance is automatically adjusted to power level
1.

Cleaning the fluff filter
The fluff filter should be cleaned at regular intervals
in order to ensure optimum operation of the vacuum
cleaner.
Switch the appliance off in order to clean the plate
filter.
!
Caution: the filter can only be cleaned if the appli-
ance is switched off.
To clean the plate filter, turn the knob at least three
turns through 180°.
You can also clean the filter if the suction is becoming
less powerful, even if the indicator has not lit up. We
recommend that you clean the plate filter each time
before emptying the dust container. It must be clea-
ned at the latest when the "Sensor Control" indicator
lights up.
