When emptying any vacuum
cleaner it is difficult to avoid expos-
ure to dust. To minimize this risk,
please ensure that you encase the
dust container in a large bag to
empty it and close the bag as tightly
as possible around the container.
Remove the container and close the
bag as tightly and quickly as pos-
sible and dispose of this immedi-
ately. It is advisable to wear dispos-
able gloves and a face mask while
emptying the cleaner. If at all pos-
sible, ask a non allergy sufferer to
empty the dust container if required.
Emptying the dust
container (dia. 19 - 24)
 Empty the dust container before the
dust has reached the max marking
on the dust container.
 Pull the dust container handle up-
wards.
 Lift the dust container upwards to re-
move it.
The contents of the container can be
disposed of with normal domestic
waste, providing they consist of gen-
eral household dust only.
 Hold the dust container close to the
bin to prevent dust from billowing out.
 Press the yellow release button on
the bottom of the dust container.
The flap will open and the dust will fall
out.

into place.

cuum cleaner from above so that it
audibly clicks into place.

Cleaning the filter frame (dia. 25 + 26)
A removable filter frame is located in the
dust container. This should be cleaned
if it is obviously dirty.

container on its front.

der running cold water.

jects!

 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.
