Risk of damage caused by incor-
rect cleaning.
The filter frame can become dam-
aged and be less effective as a res-
ult.
Do not use washing-up liquid or any
pointed or sharp-edged objects to
clean the filter. Dry the filter frame
carefully after cleaning.
 Replace the dry filter frame in the
dust container so that it audibly clicks
into place.

Cleaning the fine dust filter

The fine dust filter is equipped with a
self-cleaning function. When a specified
degree of soiling is reached, the va-
cuum cleaner switches off automatically
for approx. 20 seconds and carries out
a cleaning process. You will hear this
process running.
The ComfortClean button on the va-
cuum cleaner lights up yellow.
