Häufig gestellte Fragen - MC=E461 PANASONIC

Wie wechselt man den Staubbeutel?

Öffnen Sie die Beutelklappe, entnehmen Sie den vollen Beutel und setzen Sie einen neuen Panasonic-Staubbeutel ein. Schließen Sie die Klappe, bis sie einrastet.

Wie reinige ich den HEPA-Filter?

Der HEPA-Filter kann bei Bedarf unter fließendem Wasser gereinigt werden. Lassen Sie ihn vollständig trocknen, bevor Sie ihn wieder einsetzen. Einmal im Jahr sollte der Filter ausgetauscht werden.

Was tun, wenn die Saugleistung nachlässt?

Überprüfen Sie den Staubbeutel und den Filter. Ein voller Beutel oder verstopfter Filter reduziert die Saugkraft. Auch verstopfte Düsen oder Schläuche können die Ursache sein.

Kann ich das Gerät für Hartböden verwenden?

Ja, die mitgelieferte Kombidüse ist sowohl für Teppiche als auch für Hartböden geeignet. Passen Sie ggf. die Bürsten an.

Wie lang ist das Netzkabel?

Das Netzkabel hat eine Länge von acht Metern, was einen großen Aktionsradius ermöglicht.

Welche Ersatzteile sind verfügbar?

Ersatzteile wie Staubbeutel, Filter und Düsen sind über den Panasonic-Kundendienst oder autorisierte Händler erhältlich.

Wie schalte ich die automatische Kabelrückspulung ein?

Drücken Sie den Fußtaster an der Rückseite des Geräts. Das Kabel wird automatisch eingezogen. Halten Sie das Kabel dabei fest, um ein unkontrolliertes Schlagen zu vermeiden.

Wie stelle ich die Saugkraft ein?

Die Saugkraft kann stufenlos über den Schieberegler am Gerätegriff eingestellt werden. Wählen Sie eine niedrigere Stufe für empfindliche Stoffe.

Ist der Staubsauger für Allergiker geeignet?

Ja, dank des HEPA-14-Filters wird ein Großteil der Feinstäube zurückgehalten, was für Allergiker vorteilhaft ist.

Was bedeutet die Filterwechselanzeige?

Wenn die LED leuchtet, sollte der Filter überprüft und ggf. gereinigt oder ersetzt werden. Die Anzeige erinnert an die regelmäßige Wartung.

Central Filter (Fig. 1) Part no. AMC8F0391100

The central filter (foam filter) is installed in the dust bag compartment to protect the motor from dirt. When it becomes dirty, simply rinse it out in warm water and dry it thoroughly before replacing. To remove the central filter, hold the filter at the top (as illustrated) and pull it out.

Important: Ensure that the filter is completely dry before re-installing it into the cleaner.

Clean Air Filter (Fig. 2) Part no. AMC8F28G1000

The clean air filter (electrostatic), is installed in the dust cover. This filter retains any small dust particles which may be present in the expelled air. It is advisable to change the clean air filter when it becomes dirty. As a guide, once or twice a year is usually sufficient, depending on use.

To change the clean air filter, first remove the dust cover and then slide out the filter support and simply unhook the filter from the retaining ribs.

IMPORTANT: Never use the cleaner without the correct filters properly installed. Failure to do so may result in motor damaged.

BLOCKAGES

If your cleaner stops to pick up dust, or the dust bag check indicator shows "Full" while the dust bag is still empty, a blockage may have occurred.

Remove the hose from the suction inlet, push the small clips inwards, turn the hose right and pull it upwards (Fig. 1). Clear any obstruction from the hose and/or suction inlet using a blunt implement, taking care not to damage the hose.

If the obstruction occurs in the suction pipe inlet, it can be removed with care as shown in Fig. 2.
