NOTE:
The dust container has to be emptied and cleaned regularly. Otherwise
emptying will get harder and harder or smells and bacteria might develop,
depending on what you have vacuumed up.
Therefore, it is best to empty the dust container after each vacuuming
session.
Empty and clean the dust container at the latest when the cleaning/
emptying display lights up (Fig. 30).
Also empty and clean the dust container every 3 months at the latest
before storing for a long time or before sending the appliance.
CAUTION:
Switch off the appliance before removing the dust container. This will
prevent dust from damaging the appliance.
1. Switch off the appliance ( ).
2. Pull the plug out of the plug socket.
3. Remove the dust container (Fig. 31).
4. Empty the dust container (Fig. 32).
NOTE:
You can dispose of the dust container with your regular domestic trash
as long as it contains no waste materials prohibited in domestic trash.
5. At this point you can also check the components inside the dust con-
tainer:
- Main cyclone (Fig. 33 – 34),
- Filter screen (Fig. 35) and
- Reflector (Fig. 36).
6. If these 3 dust container components (Fig. 33 – 36) are dirty, clean them
under running cold or hand-warm water until all soiling has been re-
moved (Fig. 37 – 39).

CAUTION:
The 3 dust container components from the interior of the dust container
are washable (Fig. 37 – 39), but they are dishwasher safe.
Also, do not use cleaning agents or brushes with hard bristles to
clean the dust container components.
Leave the dust container components to dry after cleaning them with
water (approx. 24 hours at room temperature). Only put the components
back into the appliance when they are completely dry.
Replace damaged or deformed filters immediately (Order informa-
tion, see Chapter 3.4, 'Spare parts and accessories').
CAUTION:
The dust container cannot be washed! If the dust container comes into
contact with water, soiling can adhere to the inside.

NOTE:
The dust container components are constructed so that they will only go
all the way down if in the right position. Do not use force upon insertion.
Lower the reflector completely in the dust container (Fig. 40). Make
sure that its recess engages precisely in the protuberance of the dust
container.
Lock the filter screen by tightening it approx. 3 – 4 rotations in clock-
wise motion (Fig. 41).
Lock the main cyclone by tightening it approx. 15° in anti-clockwise
motion (Fig. 42 and 43).
