MAINTENANCE 

 

IMPORTANT 

Make sure the machine is un-plugged from the power socket before carrying out any cleaning or servicing. 

 

CLEANING THE CABINET  

 

1.  Wipe the cabinet of the unit with a soft, clean and dry cloth. 
2.  If the cabinet is very dirty, use a mild detergent applied with a damp cloth.  Wipe off the detergent with a clean 

damp cloth. 

3.  Do not wash the machine with water or a hose, as water could enter the machine and cause a fault or create an 

electric shock hazard. 

 

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER 

 

The purpose of the air filter is to remove any dust or unclean material from the air.  If the filter is clogged with dust and dirt 
the efficiency of the machine will be significantly reduced.  For maximum efficiency of operation it is recommended that 
the air filter is removed and cleaned every two weeks of use. 

 

1.  Remove the filter by pulling it out at the top edge and lifting it away from the machine 

 

 

2.  Clean the filter by means of a vacuum cleaner or wash it with clean water and dry using a cloth. 

 

 

3.  Replace the filter by engaging the bottom edge in the slots provided in the body and push the top edge inwards 

until it clips into place.
