Note: Your vacuum cleaner will automatically remind you to clean the filter by displaying an i8 information code followed by a QR code to order a new filter (accessory XV1681). When the appliance shows i8, you can press any button (except the power button) to see the cleaning animation with step-by-step filter clean instructions. We advise replacing the filter if you keep getting an i8 message after cleaning, or at least every 6 months to ensure maximum performance.

Make sure the dust bucket is attached properly by first aligning the top side of the bucket before hinging it in place (check the video below at 1:11-1:15).
