CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The air we breathe contains particles that may be
allergens: mite larvae and droppings, mould, pollen,
smoke and animal residues (hair, skin, saliva, urine).
The smallest particles penetrate deep into the
respiratory system where they can cause
inflammation and cause lung impairment.
HEPA filters (High Efficiency Particulate Air) are used
to filter out the smallest particles.
With the HEPA filter, the air released back into the
room is healthier than the air that is vacuumed.
1 • If you have the mechanical
model*: mechanical cleaning
of the HEPA filter
and emptying of the dust
container
Each time after use, we recommend that you
clean the HEPA filter to maintain optimum suction
power.
IMPORTANT
Do not use the power nozzle
of the dust container to carry the appliance
(fig.15)
.
*Depending on model:
this is either equipment specific to certain models or available as an optional accessory.
The HEPA filter is cleaned using the cleaning knob (6).
