Emptying The Dirty Water Tank; Cleaning The Filters - Tesla AquaStar AQ500 Manual

EMPTYING THE DIRTY WATER TANK

We recommend that you empty and clean both tanks after each clean. Do not leave water in either of
the tanks. Switch off and unplug the appliance from the mains before cleaning and maintenance, this
will prevent unintentional activation of the appliance. Do not use any abrasives or alcohol, the outer
cover could be damaged. Only clean the appliance with a dry or damp cloth. Never clean the electrical
parts with water. We recommend cleaning the appliance and accessories regularly after each use.
If the dirty water in the tank reaches the MAX level, switch off the appliance and empty the dirty water
tank.

Press the Dirty water tank release button to remove it from the body of the appliance.

Remove the lid of the tank, clean any dirt and pour away the dirty water. If necessary, use the 3in1
cleaning tool.

Then rinse the tank with clean water, close the lid and insert the tank back into the body of the
appliance until you hear a click.

After all of the parts have dried thoroughly, put the parts back together. Also make sure that the
filters are not blocked. If they are very dirty or damaged, they must be replaced to avoid damage
to the appliance and loss of performance.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

The filters (1) are located in the lid of the Dirty water tank. Remove the Dirty water tank, open the lid
and grasp the recessed area on each side of the filter in your fingers, pull upwards to remove it and
then rinse both filters with water. If the filters are heavily soiled, replace them. If the pre-filter (2) and
float (3) are blocked, they must be cleaned. Remove the filter from the lid of the tank, pull out the float
and rinse it with water. Allow the filters to dry completely before reinserting them into the lid of the
Dirty water tank.
