• If, during vacuuming, you need to pause to
move furniture etc., you can place the floor
nozzle in the parking holder (14) using the
fixture on the back of the nozzle.
FILTERS
This vacuum cleaner is not equipped with a dust
bag. The dust/dirt is sucked up into the
transparent dust container (8) instead. Once the
dust is in this container, it whirls around so that it
does not block suction. The air sucked in is
cleaned by means of a washable permanent filter
in the dust container and an exhaust filter.
Important!
You must never vacuum without all filters in place
or when a filter is damaged. If you do, dust may
penetrate into the interior of the vacuum cleaner
and damage the motor.
Emptying the dust container and cleaning
the permanent filter
It is easy to see when the transparent dust
container needs emptying.
1. Turn off the vacuum cleaner, and remove the
plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove the dust container from the vacuum
cleaner by pressing the release button (9)
and lifting the handle on the dust container.
3. Take the dust container to a dustbin.
4. Turn the upper section of the dust container
in a clockwise direction.
5. Lift the upper section off the lower section,
and empty the container.
6. Turn the permanent filter clockwise, remove
it from the upper section and tap it gently.
(We recommend that you do this while
holding the filter in a bag).
7. Brush the filter with a small brush or wash it
in lukewarm water without any detergent or
similar.
8. Allow the filter to dry completely, and replace
it on the upper section by turning it
anticlockwise until it clicks into place.
9. Fit the upper section on the lower section so
the hole in the top of the upper section
points towards the handle.
10. Replace the dust container in the vacuum
cleaner. Press down until you hear a click.
Exhaust filter
This exhaust filter should also be cleaned
regularly to maintain suction power. Press the
release button on the filter holder on the back of
the vacuum cleaner. Remove the filter and clean
it, or replace the filter. If you use water to clean
the filter, it must be completely dry before being
replaced in the vacuum cleaner.
