Frequently Asked Questions - Silence Force Cyclonic RO8055 ROWENTA

What is the difference between the mechanical model and the automatic model of the Silence Force Cyclonic RO8055?

The mechanical model requires manually turning a wheel to clean the HEPA filter, while the automatic model cleans the filter automatically when the vacuum is plugged in or turned off.

How to empty the dustbin?

Press the OPEN button to open the lid, remove the bin, then remove the filtration unit (separator + filter) by gently tapping it against the wall. Empty the dustbin into a trash can and replace the unit.

How often should I clean the HEPA filter?

After each use, perform mechanical cleaning (manual model) or let the automatic cleaning (auto model). Manual washing with water is recommended every 3 months or if suction power decreases.

How to wash the HEPA filter?

Remove the HEPA filter from the separator, tap it over a trash can, then run only the outer wall under cold tap water. Do not touch the pleats and do not wet the inside. Let dry for 24 hours before reinstalling.

What to do if the vacuum no longer sucks or sucks less?

Check that the dustbin is not full, that the HEPA filter is not clogged, and that no accessory or hose is blocked. Clean the filter or replace it if damaged. Also make sure the lid is properly closed.

Can I use the vacuum without a filter?

No, never operate the vacuum without a filtration system (separator and HEPA filter) and without the lid closed. This could damage the appliance.

Are the accessories compatible with other Rowenta models?

The accessories specific to the Silence Force Cyclonic are designed for this range. Only use original Rowenta accessories to ensure performance and safety.

How to adjust suction power?

Use the power control located on the handle (POWER CONTROL). Three positions: MIN for delicate fabrics, Medium for daily use, MAX for hard floors and very dirty carpets.

The cord does not retract fully, what should I do?

If the cord is slow during retraction, pull it out completely and press the rewind pedal again. If the problem persists, contact an authorized center.

Where can I buy spare parts like the HEPA filter?

You can purchase spare parts (HEPA filter, accessories) from Rowenta Authorized Service Centers. The filter reference varies by model: RS-RT 3078 for mechanical, RS-RT 3079 for automatic.

- For rugs and carpets: use the Delta Silence Force nozzle in the retracted brush position or the Turbobrush* (to remove fibres and animal hairs).

- For parquets and smooth floors: use the Delta Silence Force nozzle in the advanced brush position or, for a better result, use the parquet nozzle*.

• For getting into corners and places that are hard to reach: use the telescopic crevice tool*.
• For furniture and fragile surfaces: use the brush which is built into the nozzle (EASY BRUSH) or the upholstery nozzle*.

IMPORTANT Always switch off your vacuum cleaner before changing the accessories.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

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 Always switch off and unplug your vacuum cleaner before cleaning or servicing.

1 • If you have the mechanical model*: mechanical cleaning of the HEPA filter and emptying of the dust container

Each time after use, we recommend that you clean the HEPA filter to maintain optimum suction power.

The HEPA filter is cleaned using the cleaning knob (6). After use, switch off your vacuum cleaner, unplug it and open the cover by pressing the "OPEN" button (fig.18), remove the bowl (fig.19), actuate the HEPA filter cleaning knob by turning it in a clockwise direction (fig.20), then remove the filter assembly (3 and 5) (fig.22), tapping it gently against the side of the bowl to remove any excess dust (fig.23) then empty the dust container (fig.24). Clean the separator the cover using a cloth if it is dirty (fig.25). Put the filter assembly (3 and 5) back inside the dust container (fig.26). Then fit the dust container back into its housing and close the vacuum cleaner cover (fig.27).

IMPORTANT Each time after use, we recommend that you turn the HEPA filter cleaning knob 6 times completely, so that your vacuum cleaner maintains full suction power.

2 • If you have the automatic model*: automatic cleaning of the HEPA filter and emptying of the dust container

Cleaning is performed automatically and requires no action from you. It is carried out when required when your vacuum cleaner is switched on or off. NOTE: Your vacuum cleaner makes a clicking noise during the cleaning operation, this is completely normal (fig.21).

We recommend that you empty the dust container each time after use and/or after cleaning the filter. Proceed as follows:

• Unplug your vacuum cleaner and open the cover by pressing the "OPEN" button (fig.18) and remove the bowl (fig.19).
• Remove the filter assembly composed of the separator and the filter (3 and 5) (fig.22) tapping it gently against the side of the bowl to remove any excess dust (fig.23) then empty the dust container (fig.24).
• Clean the separator cover using a cloth is if it is dirty (fig.25).
• Refit the filter assembly (3 and 5) inside the dust container (fig.26). Then refit the dust container into its housing and close the cover of the vacuum cleaner (fig.27).

REMARK if you notice that the suction power of your appliance drops, you can force the automatic cleaning of the HEPA filter. In this case, switch off your appliance and press the ON/OFF button twice consecutively (fig.28).

IMPORTANT Empty the dust container afterwards.

3 • Servicing the HEPA filter

IMPORTANT The suction power may still remain unsatisfactory after the mechanical or automatic cleaning of the HEPA filter (see Cleaning and maintenance paragraph). In this case it must be cleaned manually.

In this case, open the vacuum cleaner cover (fig.18), remove the dust container and release the HEPA filter (fig.29).

Remove the HEPA filter (5) from the separator (3) (fig.30) and tap the filter above a dustbin (fig.31) then clean the outside wall of the filter under the cold water tap (fig.32).

WARNING Do not place the inside wall of the HEPA filter under water.

Do not touch or rub the folds of the HEPA filter. Leave the HEPA filter to dry for 24H before refitting it in the appliance.

Refit the HEPA filter in the separator (fig.33). Lock it in position (fig.34). Refit the dust container into its housing in the vacuum cleaner and close the cover of the appliance (fig.27).

IMPORTANT If your HEPA filter is damaged, you may purchase another from your dealer or from an Approved Service Centre (see attached list).

4 • Cleaning your vacuum cleaner Wipe the body of the appliance and the accessories with a soft cloth. Wash the dust container and the separator with clean water (fig.35-36) then dry them with a soft cloth (fig.37).

IMPORTANT Do not use aggressive or abrasive detergent products. The transparency of the dust container and/or the separator cover may alter in time but this does not change the performances of the appliance.
