pulling on the lower catch.
b) Fold out the filter cartridge with foam filter and
fleece filter.

able to stop the suction process.
e) Then clean the foam filter and the fleece filter under
running water.
Alternatively, the two filters can be cleaned in the
washing machine at max. 30 °C using a gentle pro-
gramme and the lowest spin speed.
TIP: To protect the filters, place them in a laundry
bag.
f) Allow the foam filter and the fleece filter to dry com-
pletely for at least 24 hours and then place both fil-
ters back in the bottom plate of the dust container.
g) Close and lock the bottom plate.
Maintaining the exhaust filter
The exhaust filter is designed so that it does not need
to be replaced, provided the appliance is used as inten-
ded in the household.
To ensure that the vacuum cleaner is working at its op-
timum power level, the exhaust filter should be rinsed
out after one year. The filtering action of the filter re-
mains intact, even if the filter surface becomes disco-
loured.
