Maintenance and Care

DANGER
Always disconnect the mains plug and allow
the machine to cool down before performing
any maintenance work.
Allow the accessory parts to dry completely
before storing them.
! Do not place the brushes onto the bris-
tles during the cooling and drying proc-
ess to avoid a deformation of the bristles.
! Only use a moist cloth for externally
cleaning the casing. Avoid using any so-
lutions or cleaning agents as they can
damage the plastic surface.
! For cleaning the water filter casing and
for cleaning or replacing the foam filter,
follow the procedure in the section "Stor-
ing the Appliance"
Maintenance
! Check the washers in the steam plug
(B1) at regular intervals. Replace them if
necessary. Carry out the same checks
for the connecting washers of the steam
suction pipe (C) and the handle (A).
HEPA filter
The machine is equipped with a HEPA filter
(15) that you can clean under flowing water.
Proceed as follows to clean the filter.

according to the instructions in the chap-
ter "Filling the water filter container".
" Lift the unhooking lever (16) of the HEPA
filter and remove the filter from its posi-
tion (Fig. 12).
" Rinse the HEPA filter under cold flowing
water. Shake the HEPA filter carefully
