Remove the dust container, then the container lid. Turn the HEPA filter (19) counterclockwise to unlock it. Remove the filter housing (18) and take out the filter. Tap the filter to empty it – never wash it with water. Rinse the filter housing with warm water and let it dry for 24 hours before reassembling.

Can I wash the HEPA filter with water?

No, the HEPA filter should never be washed with water. It can be cleaned by tapping to remove dust. A filter washed with water would be damaged and lose its efficiency. If the filter is very dirty or deformed, replace it.

What to do if the suction power of my SilverCrest SHZK 600 A2 is weak?

First, check if the dust container is full (empty if necessary). Next, inspect the nozzle, telescopic tube, and container for any blockages. Finally, clean the filter housing and HEPA filter as described in the manual. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.

How to use the vacuum cleaner in handheld mode?

The SilverCrest SHZK 600 A2 is a 2-in-1 model. To use it in handheld mode, remove the telescopic tube and floor nozzle. You can attach the 2-in-1 crevice tool (15) directly to the suction inlet (9). Use it for furniture, cars, or hard-to-reach areas.

How to replace the HEPA filter?

The replacement HEPA filter has the IAN reference 391617_2201. To replace it, remove the old filter as for cleaning (unlock, remove housing). Insert the new filter into the housing, turn it clockwise to lock, then reassemble. You can order the filter online or from after-sales service.

What accessories are included with the SilverCrest SHZK 600 A2 vacuum cleaner?

The package contains: 1 2-in-1 vacuum cleaner, 1 telescopic tube, 1 floor nozzle, 1 2-in-1 crevice tool (with removable brush head), and the instruction manual.

How to adjust the length of the telescopic tube?

Press the telescopic tube lock (12) on the tube. While holding the button, slide the tube to the desired length. Release the lock and adjust slightly until it clicks.

The vacuum cleaner stops by itself during use, what to do?

This may be due to overheating. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermal protector that automatically cuts off the power. Unplug, let the appliance cool down for about 30 minutes, then plug it back in. If the problem persists, check that the filter and ducts are not blocked.

How to maintain the SilverCrest SHZK 600 A2 vacuum cleaner?

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent. Empty the dust container regularly and clean the HEPA filter by tapping. Check the filter condition and replace it if damaged. Store the vacuum cleaner in a dry place, away from heat and humidity.
