CYCLONE CLEANING SYSTEM

The cyclone vacuum cleaner function means the vacuum cleaner does not need a dust bag. The sucked up
dirt is forced into the dust container by force of the air jet. The air is cleaned by a washable permanent filter in
the dust container, motor protection filter and an exhaust a ir filt er (HEP A filter).

Caution!

Never vacuum clean witho ut a filter or w ith a da mag ed filter. The dust that is sucked up would forc e it s
way into the device and damage the motor.

Emptying the dust container

(You can easily see with the transparent dust container when
it must be emptied.)

1. Switch off the vacuum c le aner and disconnect the plug
from the mains. To do this, always pull on the plug and
not on the cable.

2. You can pull the dust container -- together wit h t he cleaning
system -- out of its anchoring with the aid of the car rier
handle on the dust container. Just lift out the dust container
and carry it to the waste bin.

3. A push b utton is located on the dust container so you can
open and empty it automat ical ly ( bottom-down technology).
To do this, hold the dust container ov er your dust bin and
press the button.
