Using the dust container
You have purchased a floor vacuum cleaner which can vacuum up any type of dry dirt
and uses a dust container or MEGAfilt
®
SuperTEX dust bags.
We recommend that you use
- the dust container particularly for dirt generated by DIY, such as dust from drilling,
cement dust or sawdust
(however, the dust container is also suitable for everyday household cleaning).
- the MEGAfilt Super TEX dust bags mainly for everyday household cleaning.
Emptying the dust container
The dust container should be emptied every time the
vacuum cleaner is used.
It must be emptied, however, as soon as the dust
indicator constantly lights up bright red when the
nozzle is lifted from the floor and the setting is at its
highest.
Open the dust bag compartment lid by turning the
locking lever in the direction of the arrow.
Set the power setting to maximum for the best results
when vacuuming.
We recommend that you reduce the setting only when
vacuuming very delicate materials.
