!
Caution: the filter can only be cleaned if the appli-
ance is switched off.
‡
Open the appliance lid by pulling the locking tab.
‡
To clean the plate filter, turn the knob at least three
turns through 180°.
You can also clean the filter if the suction is becoming
less powerful, even if the indicator has not lit up.
We recommend that you clean the plate filter each
time before emptying the dust container. It must
be cleaned at the latest when the "Sensor Control"
indicator lights up.
If the indicator flashes three times in quick
succession, even though the plate filter is clean, this
is probably due to a dirty fluff filter or a blockage. In
this case, the appliance automatically adjusts to the
lowest power setting and the indicator lights up red
permanently.
‡
Switch the appliance off, empty the dust container
and clean the fluff filter according to the
instructions in "Cleaning the fluff filter".
