CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, switch off the appliance and
unplug it from the mains power.
The dirt vacuumed up enters the dust container (A). The air is cleaned by a permanent, washable
filter located inside the dust container, by a motor protective filter and an air outlet filter situated on
the rear side of the appliance.
WARNING: Never use the vacuum cleaner if any filter is missing or damaged. Any dust cleaned up
will enter the appliance and damage the motor.
WARNING: Clean the filters regularly or in any case, whenever the suction power seems to be
reduced.
How to empty the dust container (A)
- Press the release button (D) and at the same time take out the dust container (A) using the handle
(E) (Fig. 7).
- Empty the dust container (A), opening the lid with the release button (Fig. 8).
IMPORTANT: To empty the container and prevent any dirt from leaking out, we recommend first
placing it inside a plastic bag and emptying it there.
- To clean the container (A) fully, it is necessary to disassemble it completely, as described here
below:
- remove the complete filter by rotating it anti-clockwise (Fig. 9), and then remove the underlying
filter (Fig. 10).
- remove the complete filter by rotating it clockwise (Fig. 11).
IMPORTANT: Wash the filter in clean water without soap or detergents. It is advisable to clean the
filter at least every 6 months or in any case, when suction is visibly reduced.
- Before using the appliance again, reassemble the container (A).
- Place the filter inside the container (A) and lock it into place by turning it anticlockwise.
- Now refit the whole dust container (A) onto the appliance body, pressing gently until it clicks into
place (Fig. 12).
Cleaning the air outlet filter
This filter cleans the air one last time before it leaves the vacuum cleaner. To clean the filter proceed
as follows:
- Use the lever to remove the small hatch on the back of the appliance (Fig. 13).
- Clean the filter in cold water and leave it to dry (Fig. 14).
- Refit the clean (or new) air outlet filter into the grid and return this to the appliance, pressing it down
until it clicks into place.
WARNING: Only wash the filter in clean water, without using soap or detergents.
Cleaning the vacuum cleaner
The casing, dust container and filter seats can be wiped with a damp cloth if necessary. No liquid
must enter the vacuum cleaner in the process. Never use heavy-duty cleaning substances (stain
removers, thinners) because they can corrode the plastic surfaces. Only put the plug back into the
mains socket when you are sure that all parts are thoroughly dry.
