proper shape, replace the side brushes
(see chapter ‘Replacement’).

Clean the lter in the dust container with a cloth

replace the lter with a new one. We advise you
to replace the lter at least once a year.

the bottom of the dust
container is clogged.
Clean the suction opening (see chapter ‘Cleaning
