7. Check that the position of the dust collector is secure by briefly lifting the appliance at its carrying handle.

Filters
Your appliance features 4 filters. The common dust bag system has been replaced by a transparent dust collector. The higher flow speed of the collector allows for heavy dirt and smallest floating particles to be separated from the “sucked-in air”.

• It is thus not necessary to buy dust bags.
• The filters must be cleaned regularly.

CAUTION

• Never wash the filter in the washing machine.
• Do not use a hairdryer for drying.
