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.

This function constantly monitors whether your vacuum
cleaner is reaching its optimum power level. The indica-
tor light lets you know when you need to clean the
plate filter, so that the vacuum cleaner can reach its
optimum power level once more.

king at its optimum level. Once the indicator turns red
and flashes, the plate filter must be cleaned. The appli-

● Switch the appliance off in order to clean the plate
filter.
!
Caution: the filter can only be cleaned if the appli-
ance is switched off.
● Open the appliance lid by pulling the locking tab.
● To clean the plate filter, turn the knob at least three
turns through 180°.
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 each time
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 is clean, this is probably
due to a dirty fluff filter or a blockage. 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".

that you clean the plate filter each time before empty-
ing the dust container.
