During short pauses in vacuuming, the appliance can
be left standing anywhere in the room. To do this, tilt
the vacuum cleaner forwards slightly in the direction
of the nozzle.

Emptying the dust container
11
Fig.
In order to achieve the best possible vacuuming re-
sults, the dust container should be emptied after every
use or, at the latest, when dust at one point in the dust
container has reached the marking.
We recommend that you not fill the dust container bey-
ond the marking, as this leads to considerable soiling
of the filter.
When emptying the dust container, always check how
dirty the outer filter unit is and, if necessary, clean it as
detailed in the "Cleaning the outer filter unit" instruc-
16
tions.
Fig.
!
Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appli-
ance is switched off.
Never vacuum without the outer filter unit and its
fitted filter cartridge.

Insert the filter unit into the dust container, making
sure it is correctly seated.
Insert the dust container in the appliance, so that it
'clicks' audibly into place.
!
Caution: If you notice any resistance when inserting
the dust container, check that the filter is complete
and that the filter unit and dust container are correct-
ly seated.
Filter care
!
Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appli-
ance is switched off.
Your appliance is equipped with a "Sensor Control"
function.
This function constantly monitors whether your vacu-
um cleaner is working at its optimum power level. The
indicator light lets you know when you need to clean
the filter cartridge, so that the appliance can reach its
optimum power level once more.
