The central lamellae filter (Fig. 19/1) and the motor pro-
tection filter (Fig. 19/2) prevent larger particles from
reaching the motor.
„
Checking: Check the filters each time you empty the
dust container.
„
Cleaning: If you find that one of the filters is dirty, clean
1
it as described here. To maintain suction power, it is
best to clean the filters after each vacuuming ses-
sion.
1. Switch off the appliance and empty the dust container,
ZChapter 4.1, "Emptying the dust container".
2. Remove the cover from the dust container by unscrew-
ing it clockwise (Fig. 20).
3. Unscrew the central lamellae filter together with the fil-
ter screen from the cover by turning it anti-clockwise
(Fig. 21/A).
4. Hold the central lamellae filter low over a dustbin and
only then separate the central lamellae filter element
from the filter screen (Fig. 21/B).
5. To get most of the dirt out, tap both parts lightly from all
sides.

6. Remove the dirt from the central lamellae filter with a
soft brush, e.g. the furniture brush supplied with the ap-
pliance.
7. Remove the motor protection filter (Fig. 22/1).
8. Tap the dirt out of this filter over a dustbin as well.
9. If such dry cleaning of the filter elements is not suffi-
cient, rinse them afterwards in clear, cold water
(Fig. 23).
ATTENTION:
The filter elements are washable, but may not be
cleaned in dishwashers or washing-machines. Do not
use chemical cleansers to clean the filter.. Let the filters
dry (for approx 24 hours at room temperature) after
cleaning. Only put them back into the appliance when
they are completely dry.
10. If one of the filters is damaged, replace it (ZChapter
5.3, "Spare parts").
11. Reinsert the protective motor filter again (Fig. 22/1).
12. Attach the central lamellae filter element to the filter
screen again (Fig. 21/B).
13. Secure the central lamellae filter onto the cover again
by turning it clockwise (Fig. 21/A).
