the mains power.
• After using the brushes, leave the bristles
to cool down in their natural position in or-
der to prevent any deformations.
• Periodically check the condition of the ga-
skets located in the unit plug (
6
). If neces-
sary, replace them with an approved spare
part. Also check the connection gaskets of
the extension tubes (
9
) and handle (
2
).
Use a damp cloth to clean the outside. Do
not use solvents or detergents because
they could damage the plastic surfaces.
CLEANING THE DIRT
CONTAINER UNIT (M)
• Turn off the appliance from the main
switch (
B
) and disconnect the power cord
(
A
) from the mains power.
• Release the locking lever of the dirt contai-
ner (
L
) and slide the container unit (
M
) to-
wards the outside of the appliance (fig. 3).
• Lift the cover of the dirt container (
O
).
CLEANING THE EPA FILTER (R)
• Turn the EPA filter (
R
) in an anti-clockwise
direction and pull it so that it detaches
from the filter cover (
O
) (fig. 9).
• Rinse the EPA filter under running water to
remove any dirt.
• Allow the filter to dry before reconnecting it
to the cover (
O
).
ATTENTION:
• Do not clean the filter with brushes, rags
or any object which may exert an abrasive
action, because rubbing or buffering may
damage it and consequently reduce its fil-
tering performance.
• Do not use detergents, do not rub the filter
and do not wash it in a dishwasher.
• To continue working, reassemble the filter
by following the above operations in re-
verse. The filter has a lifecycle of about
100 hours.
CLEANING U-SHAPED TUBE (S)
• Separate the “U-shaped” tube (
S
) from the
cover and rinse under running water.
Make sure that the small tube positioned
on the bottom of the “U-shaped” tube is
not obstructed. If so, separate it from the
“U-shaped” tube and wash under running
water to remove any obstructions.
• When replacing the “U-shaped” tube on
the cover of the dirt container, make sure
to position it by aligning the indent on the
tube with the indent on the cover (fig. 10).
CLEANING THE FLOAT (P)
When cleaning the dirt container unit (
M
),
make sure there are no obstructions or dirt
inside the float compartment.
If the float and its cage require cleaning, pro-
ceed as follows:
• Open the cage of the float by working on
the two tabs and remove the cover of the
float (
Q
) (fig. 11).
• Remove the float.
• Clean the float compartment, the float and
the cover and remove any dirt.
• Repeat these operations in reverse to
close everything.
EMPTYING OF TANKS
(I and J)
The water tank
(I)
and detergent tank
(J)
can
be conveniently emptied. To empty the tanks
proceed as follows:
• Pull the tube closest to the tank to be ope-
ned out from its fixing clip and empty the
tank of its contents.
Once the tank has been emptied, replace
the tube (fig. 12).
