Description: For me, opening the vacuum cleaner housing was...

Steps:

1. First remove the hose by pressing the gray buttons and gently pulling forward.
2. Then remove the dust bin by pulling it up.
3. Remove the filter cover and the filter below it by gently pulling on the tabs provided for this purpose.

4. Remove the front panel by carefully leveraging it with a flat-head screwdriver or a plectrum from above and then from the side.
5. Remove the two Torx screws to the left and right of the hose clamp.

6. Remove the power controller by levering with a screwdriver or a plectrum. Start on the long side. Once this is loose, the other should come off quite easily.
7. Then remove the two Torx screws located under the controller.
8. Remove the bezel. You may need to press the clips on the back to do this.

9. Use a screwdriver or spudger to remove the I/O switch and the button for retracting the cable.
10. The buttons are each held in place by three clips, which are located at the red marked points in pictures 2 and 3.
11. The buttons are quite sturdy and did not get damaged even when levered firmly.

12. Now you can start to loosen the housing cover.
13. Start at the red marked points in the area of the hose attachment.
14. Lift the housing further and separate the upper and lower handle halves using a pick or screwdriver.
15. Now the rear part of the housing should also be easy to lift.
