Changing the Paper Filter
The paper filter must be replaced if the window on
the filter replacement indicator is completely red

and the nozzle is raised from the floor.
The paper filter should be replaced even if it does
not appear to be full because fine dust can block
the pores in the surface of the filter.

then can the lid be closed. If a paper filter is not
placed in the appliance, the lid cannot be closed.

Changing the Microfilter
We recommend replacing the microfilter on every
fifth paper filter replacement, at the latest when the
dust level indicator is completely red with a clean
dust bag and the nozzle raised.
Open the lid and fold back until it locks. Remove the
used microfilter (Figure) by the tab and dispose of
with household rubbish. Insert the new microfilter.
Motor Protection Filter
The motor protection filter is a permanent filter and
does not have to be regularly replaced. The only

use solvents or scourers. Clean the floor nozzle
and the brush holder periodically using the
crevice nozzle.
