Cleaning the fi lter with Push to Clean*)
If the light “B” is turned on, the fi lter may be clogged.
1. Hold one hand against the end of the hose to form
a closed wall. Push the “Push to Clean” button “C”
for 2-3 seconds to let the machine clean the fi lter.
Wait for 3-5 seconds and repeat Step 1, max. 3
times.
2. If the indicator still lights, the cause may lie in a
too heavily clogged fi lter. Occasionally a light rinse
is suffi cient. If not, then replace the fi lter by a new
one.
