How to empty the dust container
(A)
• Press the release button (D) and
at the same time take out the dust
container (A) using the handle (E)
(Fig. 7).
• Empty the dust container (A), open-
ing the lid with the release button
(Fig. 8).
important:
To empty the container and prevent
any dirt from leaking out, we recom-
mend first placing it inside a plastic
bag and emptying it there.
• To clean the container (A) fully, it is
necessary to disassemble it com-
pletely, as described here below:
• remove the complete filter by rotat-
ing it anti-clockwise (Fig. 9), and
then remove the underlying filter
(Fig. 10).
• remove the complete filter by rotat-
ing it clockwise (Fig. 11).
important:
Wash the filter in clean water without
soap or detergents. It is advisable to
clean the filter at least every 6 months
or in any case, when suction is visibly
reduced.
• Before using the appliance again,
reassemble the container (A).
• Place the filter inside the container
(A) and lock it into place by turning
it anticlockwise.
• Now refit the whole dust container
(A) onto the appliance body, press-
ing gently until it clicks into place
(Fig. 12).
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:
• Use the lever to remove the small
hatch on the back of the appliance
(Fig. 13).
• Clean the filter in cold water and
leave it to dry (Fig. 14).
• 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 proc-
ess. 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
warning:
It is advisable to clean the filter at least
every 6 months or in any case, when
suction is visibly reduced.
Cleaning the brushes
While the appliance is switched on,
move your hand between the bris-
tles on the brush to free them of
any trapped dust, which will then be
sucked into the cleaner.
