reminder to clean the filter cylinder
You have to clean the filter cylinder by turning the filter-cleaning handle after each vacuuming
session. This prevents the filter cylinder from clogging and helps maintain optimal suction power.
If you fail to clean the filter cylinder with the filter-cleaning handle a number of vacuuming sessions
in a row:
- the filter-cleaning reminder light flashes for 15 seconds (types without display) (Fig. 27).
- the filter-cleaning reminder symbol on the display flashes for 15 seconds (types with
display). (Fig. 26)

Cleaning and maintenance

Use the filter-cleaning handle to clean the filter cylinder after every vacuuming session.
Cleaning the dust bucket and filter cylinder unit
Always unplug the appliance before you empty the dust bucket.
The dust bucket is not dishwasher-proof.
Empty the dust bucket as soon as the dust level has reached the round disc of the filter cylinder
case.
1 Switch off the appliance and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
2 To disconnect the hose, press the release button (1) and pull the hose out of the appliance
(2) (Fig. 12).
3 To unlock the cover, press the cover release button (1). Swing open the cover (2). (Fig. 36)
4 Lift the dust bucket out of the appliance (Fig. 37).
5 Press the release button for the filter cylinder unit on the bucket handle (1) and remove the
filter cylinder unit (2) (Fig. 38).
6 Hold the dust bucket over a dustbin and empty it (Fig. 39).
7 Clean the dust bucket with cold tap water and some washing-up liquid.
8 If you want to clean the filter cylinder unit, remove the filter cylinder from the filter cylinder
case. Hold the filter cylinder case with one hand. Grab the top of the filter cylinder (not the
handle) with the other hand and turn it anticlockwise (1). Then lift the filter cylinder out of
the case (2) (Fig. 40).
9 To clean the filter cylinder, gently tap it against the dustbin to release all fine dust from the
filter cylinder. (Fig. 41)
If you persistently fail to turn the filter-cleaning handle when the filter-cleaning reminder light (for
types without display) or the filter-cleaning reminder symbol on the display (for appliance with
display) flashes, the filter cylinder clogs up with dirt and the suction power decreases over time.
If this happens, unclog the filter cylinder in the following way:
- Hold the filter cylinder over a dustbin and clean it with the cleaning brush supplied. Gently
brush from the top of the filter downwards along the ribs of the filter (Fig. 42).
