Change of Filters
Motor protection filter
The filter is located in the dust bag compartment and protects the motor from dust. To reach this filter, lift up the grill which secures it and replace it with a new one after emptying the dust bag 5 times
Attention: Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the motor protection filter.
Air outlet filter
Filters the air which is expelled. Pull on its holding clip to take it out of its housing. When fitting the new filter, make sure to secure it correctly with the clip. Replace it after every 5 dust bag emptying.
DUST BAG INDICATOR
When the indicator light comes on or when the suction power reduces substantially, this indicates that you should change/empty the dust bag.
Attention: If after inserting a new dust bag, the indicator light stays on, this could be for several reasons -
•Suction passages (flexible and extension tubes, suction inlet, floor brushes and nozzles obstructed)
•Motor suction filter dirty
•Air outlet filter dirty
Check carefully which of these causes is making the light go on and correct it so that the vacuum cleaner can work normally. If you cannot locate the cause, bring the appliance to the nearest
Do not work with the vacuum with this indicator light on, for this could cause irreparable damage to the motor.
