Carrying the vacuum cleaner
This vacuum cleaner has a handle on the top (10) for carrying purposes.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
: Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, switch off the appliance and
unplug it from the mains power.
The dirt vacuumed up will enter the dust container (7). The air is then cleaned through a permanent
washable filter inside the dust container, by a filter to protect the motor and by an air outlet filter,
located on the underside of the appliance.
WARNING
: Never use the vacuum cleaner if any filter is missing or damaged. Any dust cleaned up
will enter the appliance and damage the motor.
WARNING
: Clean the filters regularly or in any case, whenever the suction power seems to be
reduced.
Emptying the dust container (7)
The transparent surface of the dust container makes it easy to see when this needs to be emp-
tied.
- Press the release button (4) and at the same time, remove the dust container (7) using the rel-
evant handle (5) (Fig. 6).
- Use the two levers at the back to open the relevant hatch (Fig. 7).
- To clean the inside of the container (7), it is possible to remove the washable filter by turning it
counterclockwise and pulling it outwards (Fig. 8).
- Empty the dust container (7) (Fig. 9).
- To refit the filter on the dust container (7), insert it and turn it clockwise. Click the hatch shut.
- Refit the dust container (7) onto the body of the appliance (8) so that it clicks into place.
IMPORTANT
: When the dust container becomes full, it is advisable to place a plastic bag over the
top and empty it inside the bag itself to prevent dust and dirt from leaking out.
Cleaning the motor filter
The motor filter and its special covering need to be cleaned on a regular basis.
- Use the two levers and lower the hatch in the back section of the appliance (Fig. 10).
- Remove the filter and clean it under running water (Fig. 11). Leave it to dry thoroughly.
- Refit the filter and click the hatch shut.
WARNING
: Only wash the filter in clean water, without using soap or detergents.
WARNING
: This operation is necessary at least once every 6 months or in any case, when suction
power is notably reduced.
Cleaning the air outlet filter
This filter cleans the air one last time before it leaves the vacuum cleaner. To clean the filter, pro-
ceed as follows:
- Remove the dust container (7) and open the grid of the air outlet filter (Fig. 9).
- The air outlet filter can be seen once the grid has been opened.
