Clean the motor protection filter at every filter bag
change, but at the latest every 3 months.
Change the motor protection filter each time you open a
new package of dust filter bags, as a new motor protection
filter is always included in the package. However change
the motor protection filter at the latest every 6 months.
1. Switch off the appliance and remove the dust filter bag
as described in
bag', steps 1-3.
2. Pull the basket upward and out of the dust compartment
(Fig. 32).
3. Remove the filter holder together with the motor protec-
tion filter by pulling it upward and out of the appliance
(Fig. 33).
4. Hold the filter holder with the motor protection filter over
a dustbin, sink or similar receptacle.
5. Separate the motor protection filter from the filter holder
(Fig. 34).
6. Thoroughly knock the dust off of the motor protection fil-

7. If such dry cleaning is insufficient, thoroughly rinse the
filter by hand in running clean cold or hand-warm water.
ATTENTION:
The motor protection filter is washable, but it may not be
cleaned in dishwashers or washing-machines. Do not
use cleaning agents for cleaning. Then allow the motor
protection filter to dry (approx. 24 hours at room temper-
ature). Only put it back into the appliance when it is com-
pletely dry.
