using the Filter-Clean button
A clean filter cylinder helps maintain high suction power.
Always press the Filter-Clean button when you have finished vacuum cleaning.
The filter-cleaning process only needs to be performed once to guarantee proper cleaning of the
filter.
1 Switch off the appliance and leave the mains plug in the wall socket during the filter-cleaning
process.
2 Keep the appliance in horizontal position, with all wheels touching the floor.
Always leave the hose connected to the appliance during the filter-cleaning process to prevent
dust from being blown out of the appliance.
3 Press the Filter-Clean button (Fig. 20).
The light in the Filter-Clean button goes on and you hear a beep before the filter-cleaning
process starts.
During the filter-cleaning process, the appliance produces a rattling noise. This is completely
normal.
When the filter-cleaning process is finished, you hear a beep and the light in the Filter-Clean
button goes out.
You can also press the Filter-Clean button during vacuum cleaning.
When you do this, the motor stops running and the filter cleaning-process starts. During the
filter-cleaning process, the appliance does not suck up dirt.
When the filter-cleaning process is finished, the light in the Filter-Clean button goes out. The
motor automatically starts running again and you can continue vacuum cleaning.
Note: If you fail to press the Filter-Clean button after vacuuming several times, the light in the Filter-Clean
button starts flashing. This tells you that you need to press the Filter-Clean button to prevent the filter
from becoming clogged.
