Maintenance Changing the Dust Filter Bag Change the dust filter bag at the latest when the electronic dust filter bag change indicator shows "red" or the suction power has decreased. ATTENTION: When leaving your working-area, switch off the appliance and mind the notices, ‘Switching off and retracting power cord.” In this way you avoid dust destroying the appliance. To change the bag l. Open the dust compartment cover by unlatching and subsequently raising it (Fig. 18). 2.
Changing Filters Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with the following filters: -Motor protection filter (Fig. 20/1) Prevents larger particles from destroying the motor in case the dust filter bag is defective. Change as needed or if vacuum overheats or bypass valve opens. -HEPA exhaust filter (Fig. 20/2) removes microscopic particles from the exhaust air. Clean at least every 6 months. Replace once a year. Fig. 20 The filters can become clogged over time and reduce the appliance's performance.
1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the dust filter bag as described in section “Changing the Dust Filter Bag," steps 1 thru 4. 2. Remove the filter holder with motor protection filter (Fig 22). Slightly press it down and then pull the filter forwards and out. 3. Remove the motor protection filter (Fig. 23/1) from the filter holder (Fig. 23/2) over a dustbin. 4. Clean the filter holder. 5. If the new motor protection filter is too large, lay the old filter onto the new filter mat.
The power cord is damaged. Suction Power is low. The dust filter bag is full or clogged. Nozzle, telescopic tube or suction hose are clogged. The power setting does not fit the cleaning job. The “carpet/hard floor” switch (Fig 1/10) is in the wrong position for the particular type of floor. The attached nozzle does not fit the flooring. The filter is dirty. The appliance makes unusual noises. Sucked-in objects are obstructing the air stream.
Solution – Most likely a large object may have been vacuumed up, jammed the brush roll and broke the belt. Remove bottom plate of the power nozzle, check or replace belt, remove obstruction and try again. Problem – electric power nozzle cuts in and out as you vacuum back and forth. Solution – There are several connections to get power to the power nozzle, they are: 1) the hose and canister, 2) the hose and main wand and 3) the main wand and power head. Make sure each of these is firmly connected.
