We also recommend emptying and
cleaning the fine dust container once or
twice a year (see "Fault resolution -
Cleaning the fine dust filter manually").
When to change the thread catchers?
(only possible for models with a re-
versible floorhead included as standard)
The thread catchers on the suction inlet
of the reversible floorhead can be re-
placed. Check them from time to time
and replace them if the pile has worn
down.
How to replace the thread lifters
(Fig. 27)
Use a suitable screwdriver to remove
the thread lifters from the slots.
Fit new thread lifters.

Remove any threads and hair, replace

it back into position.

Cleaning and care
Always switch off the vacuum
cleaner before cleaning it and unplug
the power chord from the wall
socket.
Vacuum cleaner and accessories
The vacuum cleaner and all plastic ac-
cessories can be cleaned with a propri-
etary cleaner suitable for use on plastic.
Follow the special cleaning instruc-
tions for the dust container and filter
frame in "Maintenance" and for the
fine dust filter, the pre-filter and the
fine dust container in "Frequently
asked questions".
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, glass cleaning agents, all-
purpose cleaners or oil-based condi-
tioning agents!
Do not let the vacuum cleaner
get wet. If moisture gets into the ap-
pliance, there is a risk of electric
shock.
