Change of dust bag and filters
The size and quality of the dust bag and filters affect the machine efficiency. Use of non original dust bags or non original filters can cause restricted air flow which may lead to machine overload. Using non-original dust bag or filters will void the warranty.
The machine is a completely air tight construction. This ensures that air and dirt going into the machine can only get out through the HEPA filter in the end.

Changing the dust bag

The dust bag indicator shows when to change the dust bag. Always use original dust bags.

  1. Open the lid by pushing at the latch release in the direction of the arrows.
  2. Remove dust bag holder from dust compartment.
  3. Remove dust bag from holder. The dust bag can be closed by pulling the collar handle.
  4. Insert the new dust bag by guiding the collar into the tracks of the bag holder.
  5. Place the bag holder in the dust compartment. Check that the dust bag is correctly fitted into dust compartment.

Changing the pre-filter

The pre-filter protects the motor by absorbing micro-particles that the dust bag can not keep. Change the pre-filter with every fourth dust bag. The pre- filter is located behind the dust bag. Always use original filters.

  1. Open the lid by pulling up at the latch release.
  2. Remove bag holder with bag from dust compartment.
  3. Open pre-filter hatch by pulling handle.
  4. Take out the pre-filter.
  5. Fit the new pre-filter (ensure that the text is readable) and close the pre-filter hatch.
  6. Place the bag holder in the dust compartment. Check that the dust bag is correctly fitted into dust compartment.

Changing the HEPA filter

The HEPA filter cleans the exhaust air from microparticles the dust bag can not keep. The HEPA filter can not be brushed or washed clean. Comfort and Superior models have a HEPA filter indicator that shows when to change the HEPA filter. For Classic models, change HEPA filter for every 4th dust bag change. Always use original dust bags and filters.

  1. Open the lid on the back of the machine by pulling the tap.
  2. Take out the HEPA filter.
  3. Insert the new HEPA filter. Check that the HEPA filter is correctly fitted. NB: Only touch the filter plastic frame

  2. Replace the used batteries with two new ones, type 1.5V AAA. Make sure the polarity of the batteries is placed correct at the bracket.
  3. Slide the battery lid back until you hear a click.

Parking the tube and nozzle

There are two grooves for parking. One located on the underside of the machine to use when machine stands on the back. The other on the back of the machine, to be used when the machine is standing on its wheels.
