MAINTENANCE
REPLACING THE DUSTBAG
Always operate the cleaner with the dustbag installed. If you forget to attach the dustbag or attach it in the wrong manner, the dust cover may not close completely. After removing the flexible hose, open the front cover using the compartment open button (fig. 20). Rotate the support of the bag to the vertical position. Remove the dustbag and insert a new one (fig. 21). Close the cover by pressing down until it clicks (fig. 20). The paper dustbag reference number is Menalux BT236 / CT236.
BLOCKED AIRFLOW AND DIRTY FILTERS
The cleaner stops automatically if a blockage occurs in the nozzle/tube/hose or if the filters are blocked with dirt. Disconnect from mains and allow the cleaner to cool for 45�60 minutes. Remove blockage and/or replace filters. Restart the cleaner.
CLEANING / REPLACING THE FILTERS
The dustbag must be replaced if the window of the dustbag full indicator is illuminated. Filters should be replaced at least twice a year or when they become visibly soiled. Always operate the cleaners with filters installed to avoid reduced suction. Disconnect from electrical outlet before cleaning filters. Cleaning the motor filter Pull dustbag upward and remove the motor protection filter (fig. 22). Rinse the filter under tap water and dry it completely (fig.25). Put the filter back into the cleaner and close the cover (fig. 22, fig. 20). Cleaning the exhaust filter Open the filter grill and remove the exhaust filter (fig. 23, fig. 24). Rinse the filter under tap water and dry it completely (fig. 25). Put the filter back into the cleaner and close the filter grill (fig. 24, fig. 23).
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Deposit the plastic bag made of polyethylene (PE) at the PE collection point for recycling. Recycling the appliance at the end of its life: The plastic components all carry a material identification marking so that, like the other materials, they can by recycled at the end of the life of the appliance. Please inquire with your local authority.
