Changing the paper filter The paper filter must be replaced if the window on the filter replacement indicator is completely red when the appliance is operating at maximum power and the nozzle is raised from the floor. The paper filter should be replaced even if it does not appear to be full because fine dust can block the pores in the surface of the filter.

Cleaning As required, wipe the housing and the paper filter compartment with a damp cloth. [. . . ] The appliance can be switched on again after approximately 30 minutes. the fuse has blown The fuse may blow if you use other electrical appliances with high power consumption on the same electric circuit at the same time as the vacuum cleaner is in use. This can be avoided if you set the electronic power adjuster to the lowest power level and then select a higher level after switching the appliance on. Your vacuum cleaner can be fitted with a gentle start-up control which reduces the starting current to the motor and therefore prevents the electric circuit cut-out being triggered under normal conditions.
