Removing and installing filter
CAUTION:
After cleaning filter, be sure to
reassemble it in the correct position.
Clean the filter at regular intervals since using a clogged
filter may result in poor suction performance.
1.
Turn the dust cap on the suction inlet at the rear of
the housing counterclockwise to take the dust cap out
of the housing. Two locking tabs on the dust cap can be
disengaged by aligning them with the guide grooves on
the housing.

NOTICE:
Having washed in water, dry the circular
sponge filter B up before installing. An insufficiently
dried filter may shorten the service life of the motor.
NOTICE:
Never wash filters in a washing machine.
NOTICE:
Do not rub or scratch filters with hard
objects such as a brush.
NOTE: Filters wear out in course of time. It is recom-
mended to have some spares for them.
4. Set the circular sponge filter B back over the
suction inlet. Make sure that the inner edges of suction
opening hold the circular sponge filter B, and there is no
gap between the sponge filter and suction inlet.
