CLEANING DIRT SENSOR OPTICS

Wash attachments in warm soapy water,
rinse and air dry. Do not clean in
dishwasher.
CAUTION
Do not use attachments if they are wet.
Attachments used in dirty areas, such
as under a refrigerator, should not be
used on other surfaces until they are
washed. They could leave marks.
It is recommended the optic cells be
cleaned:
• When the red light stays on
continuously.
• When dirt or dust adheres to the
optic cells.
• Whenever the dust bag is removed.
To clean the sensor, wipe the optic cells
with a soft, dry cloth. Never use
cleaners or liquids as they can help
speed the recoating of the optic cells
and make it necessary to clean them
much sooner than normal. The dirt sensor
area can be reached by removing the
dust bag.
