Checking the dust receptacle content level
If the suction power is decreased, or the dust receptacle is full, empty it and clean the filter
MAINTENANCE
As a preventive measure, we recommend emptying the dust receptacle and cleaning the filter of the vacuum
cleaner after each use.
Emptying the dust receptacle
1. Disconnect the charging adaptor from the wall outlet.
2. Hold the unit with the dust receptacle pointing downwards.
3. Release the dust by pressing the pawl.
4. Take out the water separator, and empty the dust receptacle.
5. Follow the reverse procedure to put back the water separator and filter, and install the dust receptacle.
Cleaning and replacing the permanent filter
This filter can be cleaned by mechanical shaking and cleaning with a soft brush. A heavily fouled filter can be
washed after this step and cleaned with a soft brush in lukewarm water. Do not use detergents.
It is important to let the wet parts dry thoroughly. A wet filter would be damaged if used for
vacuuming! Do not use a hair dryer for drying!
Note: Wet cleaning can cause more wear and tear of the filter, and a correspondingly shorter service life.
• The filter should be cleaned or replaced whenever it is visibly fouled, or when the suction power decreases.
The filter should be checked after each use of the vacuum cleaner.
• Never use the vacuum cleaner without a properly installed filter and water separator to avoid damage to
the appliance.
• A suitable filter type is available at your local retailer, or it can be ordered from the manufacturer.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The vacuum cleaner and its accessories can be cleaned with a wet cloth.
Do not immerse the power cord, charging adaptor, or appliance into water or any other liquid.
Do not use aggressive substances for cleaning, such as solvents or abrasives!
