Frequently Asked Questions - SC Oko Power FAKIR

How do I empty the dust container?

Press the release button on the dust container and pull it out. Empty into a trash bin. Rinse the container with water and let it dry completely before reinserting.

Can I wash the HEPA filter?

Yes, the HEPA 12 filter is washable. Rinse under cold water, let it air dry for 24 hours, then reinstall. Do not use detergent or a washing machine.

The vacuum loses suction. What should I do?

Check if the dust container is full. Also inspect the filters for blockage and clean them. Ensure the hose and brush are not clogged. Reset the overheat protection if needed.

Is the Fakir SC Oko Power suitable for pet hair?

Yes, it comes with a combination brush and upholstery tool that works well on pet hair. The strong suction and HEPA filter help capture allergens.

How do I change the brush roll?

Turn off the vacuum and unplug it. Turn the bottom side up, press the brush roll release tab, and slide out the old brush. Insert the new brush until it clicks.

What does the 'Oko Power' feature mean?

The Oko Power indicates energy-efficient operation. It automatically adjusts suction power based on floor type to save electricity while maintaining performance.

Can I use the vacuum without a bag?

Yes, the SC Oko Power is bagless. It uses a transparent dust container that you empty directly. No need to buy bags.

The vacuum stops suddenly during use. Why?

This is likely due to the overheat protection activating. Turn off the vacuum, unplug it, and let it cool down for 30 minutes. Check for blockages before restarting.

Where can I find spare parts for my Fakir vacuum?

Spare parts such as filters, brushes, and dust containers are available through the Fakir service center or authorized dealers. Visit the Fakir website or contact customer support.

How do I store the vacuum cleaner?

The filter system

The Fakir Vario-Filter-System allows you to adjust the quality of the dust filtration to meet your needs. The vacuum cleaner will only display its filter properties that are so important to allergy sufferers when all the filters are used.

Almost all pollen, mites and fine dust from a size of 0.1 m will be filtered out. The filtering process is so good that the waste air coming from the appliance has a lower dust value than that of the ambient air.

The air is cleaned as follows:

a) The air with the dirt particles is suctioned in via the suction hose.
b) The dirt is retained in the dust bag, which closes on removal, in a 5-layer fleece filter.
c) The micro main filter serves as a pre-filter and protective element for the following filter inserts.

d) The particulate (HEPA*) filter almost completely filters out the finest particles (particulate) from a size of 0,1μm.

* HEPA = HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE AIR FILTER

e) The air is suctioned in by means of the motor. As all particulate has been previously filtered out, no deposits of dust can form here.

f) The clean air is released back into the room via the waste air filter.

Operation

Vacuum cleaning

Close-up of a hand using a screwdriver to adjust or install a black plastic component (no text or symbols visible)

Before use, ensure that all filters and the right dust bag have been inserted and that these are not damaged. The optimum filtering level, which is so important for allergy sufferers, is only reached when intact filters are used that are inserted correctly.

WARNING!

Check the appliance and the power cable before use. Faulty appliances may cause injury and should not be used.

Close-up of a mechanical component with a numbered annotation '23' and directional arrows, no readable text or symbols present.

You can also regulate the suction level by means of the suction control [23] on the handle of the suction hose. Use this control (slide valve) to reduce the suction level for brief periods of time. During normal vacuum cleaning, this slide valve should remain closed.

Use the section level control [H] for permanent reduction of the suction level to save energy.

Filter change indicator

When the dust bag or filters are full or if the accessories are blocked (hose, pipe, nozzle), the filter change indicator will shine [24]. To ensure correct analysis, the maximum suction level [H] needs to be set and the floor nozzle lifted from the floor.

In this case, change the dust bag or blocked filter or remedy the blockage.

NOTICE!

When using the turbo mattress brush or the crevice nozzle, it is possible that the filter change indicator may shine before the dust bag or filter is full. This is due to technical reasons and does not mean that the appliance is faulty.
