CAUTION
Risk of injury
You might have unintentionally
vacuumed sharp objects such as
glass shards or pins. Be careful when
performing maintenance.
Note
To clean the clean filter, use the
maintenance brush that was provided
with the vacuum cleaner.
Sponge filter
Note
Be sure to attach the sponge filter.
If you do not attach the sponge
filter, the clean filter might become
clogged after a short period of use
or the vacuum cleaner might make
strange sounds.
After washing the filter with water,
allow it to thoroughly air dry before
you reassemble it. Do not use
them without drying. Doing so
might clog the filters soon and
cause weak suction power or
abnormal odor.
