Filter care
D-11 Exhaust fi lter
Exhaust fi lter, is installed in the rear side of the
vacuum cleaner. This fi lter retains any small dust
particles which may be present in the expelled air.
It is advisable to change the fi lter once or twice a
year, depending on use. To change the fi lter, hold
the exhaust cover (as illustrated) and pull it out. After
changed the fi lter, set the exhaust cover to its position
(as illustrated).
NOTE:
IMPORTANT: Never use the cleaner without the correct
fi lters properly installed. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the motor.
What to do if your cleaner does not work
Check that the appliance is correctly plugged in and that the
electrical socket is working. In case that the thermal cut-out
device has operated, wait until it resets after approximately 60
minutes.
If after having checked the mentioned points, the cleaner does
not work, take it to an Authorized Service Centre to be repaired.
What to do when the suction performance
reduces
• Stop the cleaner and unplug from the socket.
• Check whether the wands, hose and accessories are blocked or
not. If they are blocked, remove the obstruction.
• Check that the dust bag is full. If it is full, replace it to a new
one.
• Check that Pre-motor Filter or Exhaust Filter is blocked with
dust. If they are blocked, clean them out or replace.

The dust sensor may not operate correctly if the
airfl ow is restricted due to a blockage or dust build-up
on the sensors.
Red light: Dust is present
Green: clean air
• Check the hose inlet and hose for any blockage and
remove the obstruction.
• If the sensors are very dusty, clean them using a soft
dry duster.
NOTE: The dust sensor indicator may light up when
there is no dust present.
This can occur when the cleaner is used in
areas where there is strong electromagnetic
fi eld, for example if your house is situated
near a TV or radio transmitter.
This can occur when the dust sensors are
exposed to sunshine or strong light without
hose connection pipe.
This is not a malfunction of the vacuum
cleaner.
