Figure 20 Cleaning and care Cleaning instructions Emptying the dust container Fig. 17 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 con- tainer has reached the mark. Always switch off the vacuum cleaner and unplug the mains plug before cleaning the vacuum cleaner.
The va- cuum cleaner and plastic accessories can be cleaned with standard plastic cleaner. ! Caution: Do not use abrasive cleaning products, glass clea- ner or multi-purpose cleaning products. Never im- merse the vacuum cleaner in water. • Press the release button to release the dust contai- ner, and take hold of the handle to remove it from the appliance. • Hold the dust container over the dustbin and press the release button to release the bottom cover. The dirt and dust will then fall straight into the bin. • Close and lock the bottom cover. • Insert the dust container into the appliance and lock it in place. Fig. 18 Subject to technical modifications.
Maintaining the dust-collection system Cleaning the filter in the dust container To keep them in good working order, the filters should be cleaned on a monthly basis, and at the latest when suction power begins to diminish. We recommend replacing the filters with BBZ152EF in the event of heavy wear. • Switch off the appliance. • Open the lid on the dust container by pulling on the lower catch. • Remove the frame with the filter from the lid. • Remove the filter foam from the frame of the filter. • If necessary, remove any hair and dust and tap out the motor protection filter and filter foam. • Both filters and the dust container can be washed under running water.
• After cleaning and thoroughly drying them, reas- semble all the parts and place them back in the appliance. ! Attention Do not place the parts back in the appliance before they are completely dry. ! Never use the appliance without the filter. => This may damage the appliance. Figure 19 30 * Depending on model
