CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT Always stop and unplug your va-
cuum cleaner before maintenance or cleaning.
1 • Cleaning the dust
compartment (9)
1.a Quick emptying
When the dust compartment is full, empty it
as follows: remove the dust compartment by
sliding down (fig.10), place it over a dustbin
and press the «push» button to open the
emptying hatch downwards and empty the
contents of the dust compartment (fig.11).
Close the hatch (fig.12), and replace the dust
compartment (fig.13).
1.b Deep cleaning
The dust compartment should be cleaned out
regularly.
• Remove the dust compartment (fig.10), then
separate each component (9).
• Remove the filter foam that protects the
motor (9c).
• Run the dust compartment (9a) under warm
water (fig.14), along with the dust separator
(9b) and the cover (9d) and then let them dry
or wipe with a dry cloth.
• Wash the filter foam that protects the motor
(see paragraph 2).
• Once dry, replace the dust compartment
components, along with the replacement
filter foam (9c) that comes with your vacuum
cleaner.
• Close the dust compartment and reposition
it on the device.
2 • Cleaning the filter foam
that protects the motor (9c)
WARNING Never operate the vacuum cleaner
without the motor filter foam.
To preserve the efficiency of your device,
do not vacuum extremely fine substances
(plaster, cement, ash ...) and clean the engine
protection filter at least once a month.
It is recommended that you clean the filter
foam more frequently if you see a drop in the
efficiency of your vacuum cleaner.
• Remove the dust compartment cover (9d)
and then remove the filter foam protecting the
motor (9c) (fig.15).
• Clean the filter foam that protects the motor
(9c) with warm soapy water. Rinse it and leave
it to dry for at least 12 hours before putting it
back in the vacuum cleaner (fig. 16).
IMPORTANT For optimal protection of the mo-
tor, make sure the filter foam is dry before you
put it back in. It is therefore necessary to leave
it to dry for at least 12 hours. Your vacuum
cleaner comes with an additional foam filter
so you can use the device while the original
foam filter is drying.
WARNING Never wash the dust compartment
components or the engine filter foam in a
dishwasher.
3 • Caring for your vacuum
cleaner
Wipe the body of the vacuum cleaner with a
soft wet cloth, then dry using a dry cloth
(fig. 17)
IMPORTANT Do not use detergents or any cor-
rosive or abrasive products. The transparency
of the dust compartment and/or dust separa-
tor cover may change over time. This does not
affect performance.
