Replacement
The dustbag
1 Replace the dustbag as soon as the dustbag-full indicator changes colour (fig. 23).
The dustbag is full when the colour of the indicator has changed permanently, even when the
nozzle is not placed on the floor.
2 Switch the appliance off.
3 Open the cover by pulling it upwards (fig. 24).
Place your fingers at the front of the cover and press with your thumb on the ridge on top of the
cover.
4 Lift the dustbag holder out of the appliance (fig. 25).
Make sure you hold the dustbag upright when lifting it out of the appliance.
5 Remove the full dustbag from the holder by pulling at the cardboard tag (fig. 26).
When you do this, the dustbag will be sealed automatically.
6 Slide the cardboard front of the new dustbag into the two grooves of the dustbag holder as
far as possible. Re-insert the dustbag holder into the vacuum cleaner (fig. 27).
You cannot close the cover if no dustbag has been inserted.
Cleaning and maintenance of filters
Motor Protection Filter
Every time you empty or replace the dustbag, clean the Permanent Motor Protection Filter.
1 Remove the dustbag holder with the dustbag (fig. 25).
2 Take the Motor Protection Filter holder out of the appliance and clean the filter by shaking it
over a dustbin (fig. 28).
3 Press the filter holder with the clean filter firmly into place to ensure that it fits properly at
the bottom (fig. 29).
4 Place the dustbag holder with the dustbag back into the appliance.
Activated Carbon Filter (specific types only)
Instead of with the Motor Protection Filter, some appliances are equipped with an Activated Carbon
Filter.This filter neutralises smells produced by dirt in the dustbag.
1 Replace the Activated Carbon Filter every 6 months or when you notice that smell
absorption becomes less effective.
2 To replace the Activated Carbon Filter, see the Motor Protection Filter section above. Instead
of cleaning the filter, you have to insert a new filter.
Motor Outlet Filter
The AFS Micro Filter located in the back of this appliance filters a large part of the smallest particles
from the exhaust air by means of its electrostatically charged fibres.
1 Replace the AFS Micro Filter every six months.
2 Open the filter grille (fig. 30).
