Caution
The filter can only be cleaned if the appliance is swit-
ched off.
● To clean the plate filter, turn the knob at least three
times 180° clockwise.
You can also clean the filter if the suction is becoming
less powerful, even if the indicator has not lit up.
We recommend that you clean the plate filter before
emptying the dust container. It must be cleaned at the
latest when the “Sensor Control” indicator lights up:
If the indicator flashes three times in quick succession,
even though the plate filter has been cleaned, this is
probably due to a dirty fluff filter. In this case, the
appliance automatically adjusts to the lowest power
setting and the indicator lights up red permanently.
● Switch the appliance off, empty the dust container
and clean the fluff filter according to the instructions
in “Cleaning the fluff filter”. Figure

as intended for household cleaning, the plate filter
does not need to be removed or cleaned manually in
order to achieve the optimum power level.

Emptying the dust container
Figure
In order to achieve good vacuuming results, the dust
container should be emptied after every use or, at the
latest, when dust or dirt has visibly collected on the
fluff filter or when dust at one point in the container
has reached the height of the marking.
When emptying the dust container, always check how
dirty the fluff filter is and, if necessary, clean it as
detailed in the "Cleaning the fluff filter" instructions.
