Cleaning and Maintenance
CLEANING THE DUST BOWL AND
FILTER
The performance of the cleaner is dependant
on the condition of the dust bowl and the
filter. The dust bowl should be emptied and
cleaned regularly. The filter should be
regularly removed and washed in warm
soapy water and rinsed thoroughly.
NOTE:
The filter requires more frequent cleaning
if fine dust is vacuumed regularly.
Ensure that both the dust bowl and the filter
are completely dry before refitting them to
the cleaner.
1 To empty the dust bowl and remove the
filter, press down on the dust bowl release
button.
2 Pull the dust bowl away from the motor
housing. See figure 11.
3 Pull the filter out of the dust bowl. See
figure 12.
4 Empty and clean the dust bowl.
5 Wash the filter in warm soapy water. Allow
to dry completely before refitting. Do not
attempt to force-dry with any heat source.
6 Always replace the filter and refit the dust
bowl before switching on and using the
cleaner.
Cleaning and Maintenance
There are no other user-serviceable parts
inside this vacuum cleaner.
Refer to authorized Fakir Service if internal
maintenance is required. Any worn, or
damaged parts should be replaced by
qualified personnel.
Environmental protection
When the batteries are no longer required,
they must be disposed of in an
environmentally protective way.
Run the cleaner completely down and then
remove the batteries from the cleaner. To
remove the batteries, undo the battery hatch
at the rear of the cleaner. The battery packs
contain nickel cadmium (NiCad). They are
recyclable. Take them to your service agent
or a local recycling centre to be disposed
of properly. Do not incinerate NiCad battery
packs as they may explode when exposed
to fire. Do not attempt to open the battery
packs. Recycle unwanted materials instead
of disposing of them as waste. All tools,
accessories and packaging should be
sorted, taken to a recycling centre and
disposed of in a manner which is compatible
with the environment.
