(chapter 3.4, „Changing the motor pro-
tection filter“).

NOTE:
If the exhaust filter is only slightly dirty, it can
be enough to tap out the dust over a dustbin.
However, we recommend to fit a new
exhaust filter at least every six months (item
number chapter 4.2, „List of spare parts“).
NOTE:
To make it easier you can press the release
catch until the cover snaps into place.
ATTENTION:
The motor protection filter is washable, but it
may by no means be cleaned in dishwashers
or washing.machines. Also, please do not
use cleansers for the filters. Then leave the
motor protection filter to dry (approx. 24
hours at room temperature). Only refit it into
the appliance when it is completely dry.
