DISASSEMBLY- AND RE-ASSEMBLY ADVISE

REPAIR INSTRUCTION

- To open the appliance, first remove the filter (item 15).

- Remove the 4 screws (C) from the housing (item 1), the
housing (item 1) can be taken off.
- After removing the 4 screws (A), item 18 can be released.
- Item 13 can be released after removing the screws (B) and
releasing the click fingers on the bottom.
- The cord winder and the motor can be taken out after
removing the PCB, cord winder knob and the motor cap
(screws D).

- Cordwinder spring has to be tensioned till maximum

minus approx. 1.5 revolution.
- Depending on the original cord, the spare cord must be
shortened to the length of the original cord.
- When the vacuum cleaner is used to suck up fine dust,
the pores of the dustbag may become clogged, causing the
passage of air through the dustbag to become obstructed.
As a result, the dustbag-full indicator will indicate that the
dustbag needs to be replaced, even though the dustbag is
not full at all.
