CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

2 • Clean the dust compartment joints

The air we breathe contains particles that may be allergens: mite larvae and droppings, mould, pollen, smoke and animal residues (hair, skin, saliva, urine). The smallest particles penetrate deep into the respiratory system where they can cause inflammation and cause lung impairment.

HEPA filters (High Efficiency Particulate Air) are used to filter out the smallest particles. With the HEPA filter, the air released back into the room is healthier than the air that is vacuumed.

IMPORTANT Remove the dust compartment (fig.11).

Clean the dust compartment joints with a cloth (fig.14). Replace the dust compartment (fig.15).

3 • Clean the black foam filter (19)

IMPORTANT Every 6 months or when

the suction is no longer satisfactory, wash the black foam filter.

Always stop and unplug

your vacuum cleaner before maintenance or cleaning. Regularly check and clean all of your vacuum cleaner and the various filters.

Press the lid opening button (fig.16). Tilt the lid back cover (fig.17).

Remove the black foam filter (fig.18) then wash and wring it (fig.19). Leave it to dry for at least 12 hours before putting it back.

ATTENTION Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the filtration system (foam, microfilter and filter).

ATTENTION Leave the black foam filter to dry and make sure it is thoroughly dry before putting it back in the appliance.

1 • Empty the dust compartment (5)

IMPORTANT Every 3 months, wash

Press the button to open the lid (fig.16). Tilt the lid back (fig.17). Remove the black foam filter (fig.18) and then remove the microfilter (fig.20). Wash the microfilter (fig.21). Leave it to dry for at least 12 hours before putting it back.

ATTENTION Never exceed the maximum level given on the dust compartment.

Leave the microfilter to

dry and make sure it is thoroughly dry before putting it back in the appliance.

Replace the microfilter and the black foam filter and close the cover.

5 • Clean the HEPA filter (17)

filter foam and microfilter, your vacuum cleaner does not resume its previous performances, clean the HEPA filter.

7 • Clean your vacuum cleaner

Wipe the body of the vacuum cleaner and the accessories with a soft damp cloth, then dry using a dry cloth.

Clean the HEPA filter by knocking it gently over a dustbin (fig.25). Put it back in its housing. Replace the air outlet grid and lock it by rotating it slightly clockwise.

IMPORTANT Do not use detergents or any corrosive or abrasive products. The transparency of the dust compartment and/or the front and/or lid may change over time. This does not affect performance.

IMPORTANT If the HEPA filter is damaged, replace it. The HEPA filter is available in Authorised Service Centres.

ATTENTION Do not wash the vacuum lid under water. Clean it with a soft damp cloth.

Open the lid of the vacuum cleaner (fig.1617).

Press the separator button (fig.26) and remove the separation system (fig.27). Remove the separation compartment (4c) by turning it slightly to the left (fig.28) then separate the two components (fig.29). Remove the separation grid (4b) (fig.30). Wash the components (4a +4 b +4 c) in clear water.
