11 Clean the dust filter using one of the methods
below:
Method "A"
Vacuum loose dust from the filter. Gently tap the fil-
ter against a flat surface (with the dirty side down) to
remove dust and dirt
Caution! Take care not to damage the
metal lip which extends past
the gasket.
Method "B"
Vacuum loose dust from the filter. Blow compressed
air (maximum pressure 6 Bar) into the clean side of
the filter (in the opposite direction of the airflow).
Method "C"
Vacuum loose dust from the filter. Then soak the filter
in warm water for 15 minutes, then rinse it under a
gentle stream of water (maximum pressure 2 5 Bar)
Let the filter dry completely before installing it back
into the machine
For a better cleaning, it is allowed to wash the filter
with water and non-lathering detergents
This provides better quality cleaning but reduces the
life of the filter, which will have to be replaced more
frequently The use of inadequate detergents can
damage the filter.
Caution! For paper filter: Do not use
water or detergents to clean it,
otherwise it can be damaged.
12 Assemble the dust filter in the reverse order of
disassembly and note the following:
• Clean the filter housing.
• If the filter gasket is damaged or missing, it
must be replaced
• Install the filter with the strainer facing up-
wards (arrow (I) upwards)
