Cleaning and care
ATTENTION!
■
Empty the dust container when it reaches the MAX mark and clean the cyclone in-
sert, motor fi lters and HEPA exhaust air fi lter regularly in order to prevent the motor
from overheating.
■
Prior to cleaning the device, always pull the mains plug out of the socket.
■
Keep the device, the mains cable and the mains plug away from water or other liq-
uids in order to avoid the risk of electrical shock. When cleaning the vacuum cleaner
make sure that no liquid gets into the device. Only the fi lters may be cleaned with
water. However, when fi tted back into the device they must be completely dry.
■
The fi lters are not suitable for the washing machine, dishwasher or dryer! Only air
dry the fi lters and do not under any circumstances use a hair dryer.
■
Do not use any corrosive or abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads for cleaning. They
could damage the surface.
Over time the fi lters may become discoloured. This is normal and does not
affect the functionality.
Emptying the dust container

container audibly clicks into place. Hold the device by the dust container handle and

Cleaning the cyclone insert and motor fi lters
The cyclone insert is situated inside the dust container. The motor fi lters are situated in
the fi lter holder on the cyclone insert.

1. Fold the carry handle of the device downwards.
2. Push the release button of the dust container and take it
out of the device by the handle.
3. Hold the dust container over an open dustbin. The dust
container should be as close as possible to the dustbin so
that the dust from the container falls only into the bin and
is not spread over the surrounding area.
