WARNING: This operation is necessary at least once every 6 months or in any case, when suction
power is notably reduced.
Cleaning the air outlet filter
This filter cleans the air one last time before it leaves the vacuum cleaner. To clean the filter, proceed
as follows:
- Open the air outlet filter grid, using the relevant lever (Fig. 15).
- Lift out the filter (Fig. 16) and shake it vigorously to clean off the dust. For very dirty filters, wash
with warm water and leave to dry naturally. DO NOT dry with artificial means. To replace filters,
contact an Assistance Centre.
- Refit the clean (or new) air outlet filter into the grid and return this to the appliance, pressing it down
until it clicks into place.
WARNING: Only wash the filter in clean water, without using soap or detergents.

Cleaning the vacuum cleaner

The casing, dust container and filter seats can be wiped with a damp cloth if necessary. No liquid
must enter the vacuum cleaner in the process. Never use heavy-duty cleaning substances (stain
removers, thinners) because they can corrode the plastic surfaces. Only put the plug back into the
mains socket when you are sure that all parts are thoroughly dry.
Important: Do not lubricate or oil any rotating parts, since this could cause dirt and fluff to stick even
further

Cleaning the brushes

While the appliance is switched on, move your hand between the bristles on the brush to free them of
any trapped dust, which will then be sucked into the cleaner.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Thermal cutout switch
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermal cutout switch to protect it in the event that the motor
overheats. If the vacuum cleaner suddenly switches off by itself, proceed as follows:
- Switch off the vacuum cleaner and unplug it from the mains power.
- Look for the origin of the overheating (blocked suction pipe, dirty filter, etc.)
- Clean the pipe, empty the dust bag, and clean the filter, if necessary.
- Wait for about 30-40 minutes to allow the motor to cool down.
- After 30-40 minutes, insert the plug in the mains socket and switch on the vacuum cleaner.
The vacuum cleaner should now work.
- If the vacuum cleaner still does not work, wait another 20 minutes and then try again.
- If the cleaner still does not work, contact an Assistance Centre.
