But empty the dust container at latest when:

- before prolonged storage or re-shipment.
1. Switch off the appliance,Zchapter 4.3, „Switching off"
2. Push the release button for the dust container (Fig. 9/A).
3. Remove the dust container by pulling it upwards out of its receptacle.
4. Empty the dust container by holding it low over a dustbin and only then
press the release button for the bottom plate (Fig. 9/B).
5. Also clean the cyclone unit on this occasion. Zchapter 5.2, „Cleaning
the cyclone unit and the dual motor protection filter". Otherwise, the
dust container cannot be cleaned.
6. Remove any residual dust from the dust container using a dry cloth or

by the two tabs provided for this (Fig. 10/C).
6. Hold the dual motor protection filter low over a dustbin.
7. Only now separate the two filter elements from each other (Fig. 11/A).
8. Beat the dirt from the filter elements by tapping them lightly over a dust-
bin. Remove larger agglomerations of dirt by hand.
9. If the filter elements are still dirty after this procedure, thoroughly rinse
them by hand in running water (Fig. 11/B) until all dirt is gone.
ATTENTION:
The filter elements are washable, but may not be cleaned in dishwash-
ers or washing-machines. Also, do not use detergents or brushes with
hard bristles to clean the filters. Let the filters dry for approx 24 hours at
room temperature after cleaning. Only put them back into the appliance
when they are completely dry.
