Press the release button of the dust container and pull the dust container out.
- Remove the lid of the dust container by turning it anticlockwise and spill the rubbish.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

Filters

The filter system consists of: 1 accordion filter to vacuum the smallest particles (in the dust container)

1 nylon filter (around the accordion filter)

It is necessary to clean the filters regularly to avoid operating problems.

Cleaning the accordion filter

If you notice that even after having emptied the dust collector, the suction power is reduced, clean the accordion filter. To do so:

Take out the dust collector as described above.
Rotate the dust collector's lid anticlockwise to take it off.
- Rotate the accordion filter from the dust collector's lid until it is unlocked.
Take the nylon filter from the accordion filter. If necessary, wash it in soapsuds. Make sure it is dry before putting it back in place.
- Rinse the bracket and accordion filter in water, if necessary with help of a soft brush, and dry them completely. Never put them in the washing machine and never dry them with a hair dryer.
To put the nylon filter and the accordion filter back, proceed inversely.

NOTE: After a certain number of cleanings the filters will be damaged or impossible to get back in their initial shape. In such case, please contact the nearest customer service to obtain new filters.

Cleaning the dust collector

Clean the inside of the dust collector with a damp cloth or sponge, but make sure it is totally dry before using the appliance again.

PRACTICAL HINTS

• When cleaning stairs, we advise you to keep the unit in a vertical position.
• The vacuum cleaner requires no regular maintenance other than the filter cleaning tasks as detailed here above.
  If you notice a loss of suction power, it is probably due to one or a combination of the following events: blocked filter, full dust collector or blockage in tubes. If your appliance still does not work properly after you have checked those problems, please ask a qualified electrician for advice.
