Question 2

How to install the charcoal filters in the ELICA FOLD BL MAT/A/52 vacuum cleaner?

Accepted Answer

Here’s how to install the charcoal filters in your ELICA FOLD BL MAT/A/52:

Installation Steps

Remove the grease filters from the suction unit.
Place one charcoal filter on each side of the device.
Hang the charcoal filters onto the product by securing them properly.
Replace the grease filters over the charcoal filters.

Set the device to OFF mode.
Press and hold the T1 and T4 buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
The L1 and L2 indicators will blink for 5 seconds to confirm activation.
