CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before proceeding to any cleaning or maintenance operation, always unplug the appliance from
the power socket.
Clean the outside of the machine using a dry cloth.
1. In order to ensure constantly satisfactory operation, the container and the filter must be cleaned with a certain
regularity. Dissatisfactory operation may be caused by the presence of residue or dirt inside the filter or the hose. In
this case, we recommend switching off the appliance, unplugging it from its power socket and then proceeding to
the cleaning of its parts.
2. Never empty the drum into an easily flammable container, and always make sure that the ash has cooled
completely before doing so.

3. In order to give the filter a thorough cleaning, start by raising the cover (Fig. D).
Incline the motor housing (Fig. E), and lightly tap the pre-filter in order to make all ash residue fall inside the drum
(Fig. F). Then remove the pre-filter and the filter from their housings while always keeping the motor housing
slightly inclined, rotating it slightly.
4. Wash the outside of the filter and the pre-filter with a delicate flow of running water at room temperature in order to
avoid damage (Fig. G). Use a soft brush to remove the residue that does not fall by itself. Never use hot water in
order to avoid deforming the filter.
5. Do not use detergents. Leave the filter to dry naturally before replacing it in its housing. Do not place it close to hot
sources of heat. Do not place it in direct sunlight.
6. The cleaning operations should be done outdoors.
7. Once the filter has been cleaned, check whether it is suitable for further use.
8. Whenever damage or breakage occurs, replace the HEPA filter and the pre-filer using original Ribitech spare parts
(Code for HEPA filter: PRCEN003/HEPA – Code for pre-filter: PRCEN000/CF) available at your retailer or
wherever the product was originally purchased.
