Cleaning the device
ATTENTION!
❐
Empty the dust bin when it is full and clean the
fi
lters regularly to avoid overheating
the motor.
❐
Before cleaning the device, always pull the power plug out of the socket.
❐
Keep the device, cord and mains plug away from water or other liquids in order to
avoid electrical shocks. When cleaning, make sure that no liquid penetrates the de-
vice. Only the dust
fi
lter and exhaust
fi
lter may be cleaned with water. However, they
must be completely dry when being placed back in the device.
❐
The
fi
lters are not suitable for the washing machine, dishwasher or dryer! Only air
dry the
fi
lters and do not in any case use a hair dryer.
❐
Do not use any scouring or abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads for cleaning. They
could damage the surface.
• Clean the dust
fi
lter and exhaust
fi
lter regularly or if you notice that the suction power
is declining.
• If needed, clean the housing with a damp, soft cloth. Then dry it with a soft cloth.
• Regularly remove hairs and lint from the nozzles.
The
fi
lters may discolour over time. This is normal and also does not affect
functionality.
Emptying the dust bin
1. Remove the suction hose from the dust bin (see chapter “Assembly”, section “Insert-
ing/removing the hose”).
2. Push the release button on the dust bin and pull it out of
the device by the handle.
3. Hold the dust bin over an open garbage bin. The dust bin
should be as close as possible to the garbage bin so that
dust from the dust bin only falls into the garbage bin and
is not dispersed in the surrounding area.
4. Push the button to open the dust bin. The bottom of the
dust bin will open and the dirt will fall out.
5. Shut the bottom of the dust bin again. The fastener must
audibly lock into place.
6. Insert the dust bin in the device: Take hold of it by the
handle and insert the bottom of the bin in the device
fi
rst.
Then push the handle against the device housing until the
dust bin audibly locks into place. Hold the device by the
handle and lift it to check whether the dust bin is properly
seated.
