Cleaning the Device and Accessories
CAUTION!
•
Clean the filter after each use to maintain good performance and prevent overheating of the
motor.
•
Switch off the device before doing any cleaning of the device and make sure that it is not
connected to the mains power.
•
Keep the main unit, the charger and the cable away from water or other liquids to avoid
electric shocks. Make sure that no liquid gets into the main unit during cleaning. Only the
collecting container, the insert, the filter and the suction nozzles may be cleaned with water.
However, they must be completely dry before they are put back into the device.
•
The filter is neither machine-washable, dishwasher-safe nor suitable for tumble drying! Only
ever dry the filter in the air, and never use a hair dryer to do so.
•
Do not use any sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning pads to clean the device and
accessories. These could damage the surfaces.
•
It needs to be emptied when the dust container is full up to the marking, and after each use
(see the “Emptying the Collecting Container and Cleaning the Filter” section).
•
Clean the housing of the main unit if necessary using a damp, soft cloth. Dry it with a soft
cloth.
•
Remove hair and fluff from the nozzles at regular intervals.
•
Check the charger and its mains cable for damage at regular intervals.
•
Keep the device ready for operation. Charge up the battery after each use (see the “Charging
Up the Battery” chapter).
The filter may lose some of its colour over time. This is normal and does not have any adverse
effect on function. However, if it is damaged or worn, it must be replaced.
Emptying the Dust Container and Cleaning the Filter
1. Switch off the device.
2. Carefully remove the collecting container from the main unit (see the “Assembly” chapter,
“Removing / Inserting the dust container” section).
3. Remove the insert and filter from the dust container.
4. If you have sucked up dry dirt, empty the dust container into a rubbish bin. Tap the insert and filter
out over the rubbish bin. If there is wet dirt in the dust container, rinse these parts under running water
after emptying.
5. Let all parts dry completely in the air before you put them back together.
CAUTION: Never re-
insert the filter and
insert if they are still damp.
The device is assembled in the reverse order.
