Cleaning the filter element
(VCP 450 E-M only)
To ensure that suction performance is always at its
best, the filter element is automatically cleaned
during operation.
We recommend complete cleaning if the filter ele-
ment becomes extremely dirty.
After picking up harmless dust using the waste bag.
1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner
2. Close the nozzles or suction hose opening with
the palm of your hand.
3. Turn the switch to position "I" and let the cleaner
operate for approx. 10 seconds with the suction
hose opening closed.

nozzles and suction hoses can enhance the
cleaning action and reduce the cleaning effort.
Effective cleaning is achieved if you follow just a few
guidelines in combination with your own practical
experience in special fields.
Here are some basic tips.
Picking up dry substances
Do not pick up flammable substances.
10 sec.
The suction hose diameter must suit the position of
the switch in order to pick up dry, nonflammable
dust with maximum room concentration values.
There must always be a safety filter bag in the tank
before dry substances with maximum room concen-
tration values are picked up. See section "Accesso-
ries" for ordering number.
To pick up harmless dust we recommend the use of
a waste bag. See section "Accessories" for ordering
number. Disposal of the picked up material is then
simple and hygienic.
After picking up liquids, the filter element is wet.
A damp filter element clogs more quickly when dry
substances are picked up. For this reason the filter
element should be washed and dried or replaced by
a dry element before dry substances are picked up.
Always use a filter bag/waste bag that is suitable for
the type of dust (see table):
