General Maintenance; Cleaning Of The Washable Epa Filter - POLTI EcoSteamVac DUAL Manual De Instrucciones

Before any kind of maintenance, make sure that the power cord is not plugged into electrical outlet.
After using the brushes, we recommend letting the bristles cool down in their natural position, in
order to avoid any deformation.
To clean the outside, simply use a moist cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents as these could
damage the plastic surfaces.
To clean the "Eco-Active" water filter cage and to clean or replace the sponge filter, proceed as
described in the paragraph "EMPTYING AND CLEANING THE DIRT COLLECTION CONTAINER."
(page 19).
