Storage of accessories

Accessories and attachments not in use, such as noz-
zles and brushes, can be hooked and stored in the multi
hook at the rear of the cleaner.

ments not in use
Pipes (with an optional stopper installed) can be placed

short time.

A hose can be wrapped and stored around the housing
or handle of the cleaner in large loops. Connect its both
ends together to make loops and hook the loops onto
the handle raised up. Alternatively, keep its root end
installed in the hose inlet and hang the loops on the
multi hook with the loose end tied up.

Cleaning of powder filter (HEPA) and
prefilter
Clean out the powder filter, prefilter and damper at
regular intervals since clogged filters and damper may
result in poor suction performance.
Routinely wipe and shake dust off filters and damper
by hand.

Occasionally wash the powder filter in water, rinse and
dry thoroughly in the shade before use. Never wash
filters in a washing machine.

NOTE: Do not rub or scratch the powder filter, the
prefilter and the damper with hard objects such as a
brush and a paddle.
NOTE: The filters wear out in course of time. It is
recommended to have some spares for them.
