Storage and transport

nozzle into the mounting of the housing.
Changing the filter
Change the dust bag when the color scale fills the window of the dust level
indicator completely.
Changing the filter
Press the unlock key and swing open the lid of the dust compartment until it locks into position. Close the filter bag by pulling the strap. This serves to cleanly seal the full paper filter. Lift out the filter bridge using the carrying lever, and dispose of the paper filter, pulling out the filter bag by the cardboard disk. Insert a new paper filter into the filter bridge (see the imprint on the filter). Make sure that the air intake opening of the paper filter is not closed. Do not damage filter paper when inserting the filter! Close the lid of the dust compartment.
IMPORTANT
The filter lock (according to the set of components included) prevents the lid
of the dust compartment from being closed without a paper filter.
- Dust bags are disposable items. They must not be used several times because clogged pores will reduce performance. How to check:
- Put on the floor nozzle. All other nozzles will affect the function of the dust bag exchange indicator.
- Switch on the vacuum cleaner and set the vacuum power control (if included) to full cleaning power.
- Lift the floor nozzle a little off the floor. If the dust bag exchange indicator now shows that the dust bag is full, you need to exchange the bag.
- Important information on the function of the dust bag exchange indicator
- The function of the indicator is set for mixed dust which mainly occurs in households: dust, hairs, carpet fluffs, threads, sand etc.
- However, if you take up a lot of fine dust such as drilling dust, sand or possibly gypsum or flour, the pores will get clogged. The dust bag exchange indicator will display „full“ in such a case, even though the dust bag may not be completely full yet. The dust bag must be exchanged in this case because the cleaning performance will be reduced due to the clogged pores.
- However, if you take up a lot of hairs or fluffs from carpet or wool etc., the dust bag exchange indicator will react only after the dust bag has been filled taut.
Changing the motor protection filter
Check the motor protection filter every time you change the paper filter bag. Replace it with a new one if it is very dirty. The motor protection filter can be found on the right side of the filter compartment`s back wall after the filter bag has been removed. Always change the motor protection filter if you have used the vacuum cleaner with leaky paper filter bag. Do not use the vacuum cleaner without a motor protection filter! A charcoal filter is used in vacuum cleaners to absorb smells that may develop in the dust bag. It can be found in the dust compartment. To remove the charcoal filter, follow the direction of the arrow.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use an appliance without a motor protection filter!
A recommendation: Change at intervals not exceeding 6 months, but also when a
distinct smell is emitted or if the paper filter is leaky.
The motor protection filter is a sanitary micro filter. It can be found in the
dust compartment. Open the grid by pulling forward as indicated by the arrow.
Change the sanitary micro filter.
IMPORTANT
Do not use appliances without a motor protection filter. A recommendation:
Always change the motor protection filter when exchanging the paper filter for
the fifth time. Appliances with triple-filtering cartridges has a highly
specialized filter combination comprising the following filters: Submicron
particulate filter: very high efficiency. S-class filter in accordance with
DIN 24184. Especially suitable for persons suffering from allergies. Filters
99.997% of microorganisms 0.0003 mm in diameter. Activated carbon filter:
Special smell-absorbing filter. Anti-bacterial fabric: To filter bacteria,
mites, etc. To remove the triple filtering cartridge, follow the direction of
the arrow.
IMPORTANT
Do not use appliances without motor protection. A recommendation: Change the
triple filtering cartridge every 6 months. Otherwise, efficiency and air
permeability will be reduced. Change the blow-off filter. The blow-off filter
is also a sanitary micro filter. It can be found after the lid of the dust
compartment has been opened. A recommendation: Always change the blow-off
filter when exchanging the paper filter for the fifth time. Stair lock system
(according to the set of components included) This unique mechanism serves to
fix your vacuum cleaner securely to stairs or slanted surfaces. It blocks the
rear wheels, preventing the appliance from slipping off when used on slanted
surfaces or stairs.
