8 If you want to clean the filter cylinder unit, remove the filter
cylinder from the filter cylinder case. Turn the handle on top of the
filter cylinder anticlockwise (1) and lift the filter cylinder out of the
case (2).
9 To clean the filter cylinder, gently tap it against the dustbin to release
all fine dust from the filter cylinder.
- If you persistently fail to clean the filter cylinder after every use, the
filter cylinder clogs up with dirt and the suction power decreases over
time. If this happens, unclog the filter cylinder in the following way:
1 Hold the filter cylinder over a dustbin.
2 Clean it with the cleaning brush supplied. Gently brush from the top of
the filter downwards along the ribs of the filter.
Only use the cleaning brush that comes with the appliance. Other
brushes may damage the filter cylinder.
The filter cylinder is not waterproof and cannot be cleaned with water,
cleaning agents or flammable substances.
Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the filter, but does restore
its filtration power.
10 To clean the filter cylinder case, use a dry cloth or the cleaning brush
supplied. You can also clean it with cold tap water and some washing-
up liquid.
- Do not clean the filter cylinder case with the filter cylinder in it under
the tap, as the filter cylinder is not waterproof.
