- Clean the filter in cold water and leave it to dry.
- Refit the clean (or new) air outlet filter into the grid and return this to the appliance, pressing it
down until it clicks into place.
WARNING
: Only wash the filter in clean water, without using soap or detergents.
Cleaning the vacuum cleaner
The casing, dust container and filter seats can be wiped with a damp cloth if necessary. No liquid
must enter the vacuum cleaner in the process. Never use heavy-duty cleaning substances (stain
removers, thinners) because they can corrode the plastic surfaces. Only put the plug back into the
mains socket when you are sure that all parts are thoroughly dry.
Important
: Do not lubricate or oil any rotating parts, since this could cause dirt and fluff to stick
even further
Cleaning the brushes
While the appliance is switched on, move your hand between the bristles on the brush to free them
of any trapped dust, which will then be sucked into the cleaner.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Thermal cutout switch
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermal cutout switch to protect it in the event that the mo-
tor overheats. If the vacuum cleaner suddenly switches off by itself, proceed as follows:
- Switch off the vacuum cleaner and unplug it from the mains power.
- Look for the origin of the overheating (blocked suction pipe, dirty filter, etc.)
- Clean the hose, empty the dust container and clean the filters, if necessary.
- Wait for about 30-40 minutes to allow the motor to cool down.
- After 30-40 minutes, insert the plug in the mains socket and switch on the vacuum cleaner.
The vacuum cleaner should now work.
- If the vacuum cleaner still does not work, wait another 20 minutes and then try again.
-
If the cleaner still does not work, contact an Assistance Centre.
