be present in the expelled air. It is advisable to change
the clean air filter when it becomes dirty. To change the

and pull it out.
• The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet
before cleaning or maintaining the appliance.

filters properly installed. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the motor.
Indicator for replacing the dust bag
What to do if your cleaner does not work

off the floor. If the dust indicator turns red, the dust bag is full
and requires replacing the dust bag.
