- Take out the bag, being careful not to tear it; slide the stiff cardboard section (or plastic section on
fabric bags) along the special guides (FIG. 8). Throw away the paper dust bag or empty the fabric
bag and wash it in water and a mild detergent, if necessary.
CAUTION: Always make sure that fabric dust bags are perfectly dry before retting them.

depending on use.
- Remove the bag (FIG. 8).
- Slide the lter out from the compartment (FIG. 9).
- Remove the lter, and then shake it vigorously to clean it. If the lter is extremely soiled, wash it
with lukewarm soapy water, rinse it well and leave it to dry. NEVER use articial means to dry the
lter. To replace the lter, contact an Assistance Centre.
- Replace the lter in its compartment and ret it. When you ret the compartment, make sure that
the rough surface of the lter is visible.
- Lastly, ret the dust bag and make sure that the lter compartment is correctly in place before us-
ing the cleaner.
