Taking care of your machine
IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-out. If for any reason the machine should overheat,
the thermostat will automatically turn the machine off. Switch off and unplug the vacuum cleaner. Check the
machine for blockages and clean the filters. Wash the pre-motor filters with warm water (40°C max) and leave
