6. MAINTENANCE
Regularly check the hose, dust bag and filter to prevent problems. Empty the hose when it
is clogged. Replace the dust bag when it is full and clean or replace the filters when they
are dirty.
Replacing the dust bag
Check that the vacuum cleaner is off and remove the plug from the socket before replacing
the dust bag or motor filter. Never use the vacuum cleaner without a dust bag or motor filter.
• Replace the dust bag when the dust bag full indicator becomes red or when the dust
bag seems to be full.
•
Open the dust bag compartment by pressing in the handle. Lift the
cover and carefully remove the full dust bag from the holder. Throw
away the full dust bag.
•
Fold a new dust bag as shown and slide it in the dust bag holder.
•
Open the cover of the dust bag compartment. The opening of the
dust bag is automatically pushed on the correct location when the
cover is being closed. The cover of the dust bag compartment cannot
be closed when the dust bag has not been placed correctly. Place
the dust bag once more, in accordance with the instructions.
Replacing or cleaning the motor filter
The motor filter must be replaced after every 4 dust bags. In between,
it can be cleaned.
•
Remove the motor filter by sliding the holder upwards.
•
Place a new motor filter in the holder and slide it back or clean
the motor filter with lukewarm water and allow it to dry in the air
for 24 hours before placing the motor filter back in the holder.
Cleaning or replacing the HEPA filter
The HEPA filter cleans the air one more time before it is ejected by the
vacuum cleaner. Clean the HEPA filter at least once every six months
or when it is very dusty. When the HEPA filter is damaged, it must be
replaced by a new original filter.
•
Press the clip to open the grille under which the HEPA filter is
located.
•
Remove the HEPA filter.
•
Clean the HEPA filter with lukewarm flowing water and allow the
filter to dry in the air for 24 hours. Do not use cleaning agents or
brushes.
•
Only place the HEPA filter back once it is fully dry, or place a
new HEPA filter.
• Place back the grille. Make sure it is properly attached.
