CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The air we breathe contains particles that can be
allergenic: larva and dust mite feces, mold,
pollen, smoke and animal waste (hair, skin,
saliva, urine), etc.
The finest particles can penetrate deep inside
the respiratory system or can cause
inflammation and affect the entire respiratory
system.
(H)EPA ([High] Efficiency Particulate Air Filter)
filters retain the finest particles.
Thanks to the (H)EPA filter, the air released into
the room is cleaner than the air suctioned.
IMPORTANT: always switch off and unplug
your vacuum cleaner before cleaning or
servicing. Check and clean your vacuum
cleaner and the different filters regularly.
IMPORTANT: do not operate your vacuum
cleaner without the filtration system fitted
(foam, microfilter and filter).
