Cleaning the exhaust filter
There are two types of Electrolux Twinclean exhaust
filters:
Standard filter. Must be cleaned every 5–7 years.
•
HEPA filter (thicker with creased fibre material). Must
•
be cleaned every 2–3 years.
There is no difference in how the filters are cleaned or
fitted.
38 Remove the dust container by pressing the release
button at the back of the vacuum cleaner and
lifting the container.
39 Lift the two snap catches at the back edge of the
vacuum cleaner and open the filter cover.
40 Lift out the filter.
41 Rinse the inside (dirty side) in lukewarm tap water.
Tap the filter frame to remove the water. Repeat
the process four times.
Note: Do not use cleaning agents and avoid touching
the filter surface. Let the filter dry. Put the filter back into
place, close the filter cover and refit the dust container.
Clearing the hose and nozzle
The vacuum cleaner automatically stops if there is a
blockage in the nozzle, tubes or hose or if the filter
or filter holder becomes blocked. Pull out the power
plug and allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down for
20–30 minutes. Remove the blockage that is causing
the problem, and/or replace the dirty filter. Restart the
vacuum cleaner.
42 Use a suitable implement to clear the tubes and
hose of blockages.
43 It is sometimes possible to clear the hose by
"massaging" it. However, be careful in case the
obstruction has been caused by glass or needles
caught inside the hose. Note: The warranty
does not cover any damage to hoses caused by
cleaning them.
