Cleaning The Foam Rubber Motor Protection Filter; Vacuum Cleaner Care And Maintenance - Rowenta AIR FORCE Manual

1.b Complete cleaning procedure
It is advisable to clean the dust tray regularly.
• Remove the dust tray (fig.14), then separate each of its components (9).
• Remove the foam rubber motor protection filter (9c).
• Place the dust receiver (9a), the dust filter (9b) and the lid (9d) under warm water (fig.20); then let
them stand to dry or dry them with a dry cloth.
• Wash the foam rubber motor protection filter (see paragraph 2).
• Once the components of the dust tray are all dry, reassemble them; do the same with the extra
foam rubber motor protection filter (9c) provided as a supplement with your appliance.
• Close the dust tray and reposition it on the main body of your appliance (fig.19).
2 • Cleaning the foam rubber motor protection filter (9c)
ATTENTION: Never use your vacuum cleaner without the foam rubber motor protection filter.
In order to maintain the high performance level of your appliance, do not vacuum ultra-fine
substances such as plaster, cement or ashes, and clean the foam rubber motor protection filter at
least once a month. If you perceive that your vacuum cleaner is performing under regular average
level, we recommend that you clean the foam rubber motor protection filter more frequently.
• Remove the dust tray lid (9d) and then remove the foam rubber motor protection filter (9c) (fig.21).
• Clean the foam rubber motor protection filter (9c) with warm, soapy water.
Rinse and let dry for at least 12 hours before replacing the filter on the appliance (fig.22).
IMPORTANT In order to assure optimal motor protection, make sure that the foam rubber filter
is completely dry before replacing it on the appliance. You will need to let it dry for at least 12
hours before reinserting it into the dust tray. An extra foam rubber motor protection filter is
provided with your vacuum cleaner so that you may use the appliance while the first filter is
still drying.
ATTENTION: Never place the dust tray components or the foam rubber motor protection filter
in an automatic dishwasher.
3 • Vacuum cleaner care and maintenance
Wipe the main body of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth; then dry it with a dry cloth (fig.23).
IMPORTANT: Do not use detergents, or aggressive or abrasive products. The transparent color
of the dust tray and/or of the separator lid may change with time; however, this will not modify
the performance of the appliance.
