Opening the air cleaner
Note that the front of the air cleaner has been provided with an
automatic safety lock which makes it impossible for you to
open the appliance while it is running. The automatic safety
lock also ensures that you cannot switch the appliance on
when the front has been removed.
- Switch the air cleaner off
(fig. 33).
- Remove the front of the
appliance by pulling it
towards you on one side (fig.
34).
NB: Never press against
the control panel when
you are opening the air
cleaner (fig. 35).
