CHECKING THE CONTAINER CONTENT LEVEL
If the suction power is lower even though the nozzle is lifted above the floor, empty the container immediately.
NOTE
: If the suction power remains low after replacing the container, check for the following:
- some of the air passages (hoses, telescopic tube, suction inlet, brush adapter, or other adapters) are obstructed;
- the motor filter is dirty;
- the air outlet filter is dirty.
Check for each of the possible causes above and eliminate the problem before you start vacuuming. If the cause of the
problem cannot be identified, hand over the product to the nearest service centre. Never use the vacuum cleaner if
the suction power remains low. The motor could be damaged irreparably.
MAINTENANCE
As a preventative measure, we recommend emptying the container and cleaning the
filters of the vacuum cleaner after each use.
EMPTYING THE CONTAINER
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the mains. Disconnect the hose from the suction
inlet.
2. Push the latches on the container holder, and shift the container upwards (Fig. 3).
3. Press the latch on the bottom of the rear side of the container, open the latch and
empty the contents of the container (see Fig. 4).
4. Close the container and return it to the vacuum cleaner. Make sure the container
is positioned properly. You should hear a clicking sound from the handle latches.
REPLACING FILTERS
•
The filters should be cleaned or replaced when they are visibly dirty, or if the
appliance‘s suction power is reduced. Always check the filters after using the
appliance.
•
In order to avoid damage to the appliance, do not use it with incorrectly installed
filters.
•
Before replacing the filters, disconnect the appliance from the electrical socket.
•
You can buy suitable types of filters from your dealer, or you can order them from
the manufacturer.

CLEANING THE INLET FILTERS
1. Disconnect the flexible hose and remove the container.
2. Open the filter holder on the front side of the container (Fig. 5) and remove the
filter (Fig. 6).
3. The foam rubber filter (Fig. 7) may be cleaned mechanically by shaking them and
cleaning with a soft brush. Heavily fouled filters can be washed after this step
and cleaned with a soft brush in lukewarm water. Do not use detergents. It is
important
to let the wet parts dry thoroughly. Do not use a hair dryer for drying!
Wet filters will be damaged if used for vacuuming!
4. Assemble cleaned or new components and install them in the original location
using the reverse procedure.
Note
: Wet cleaning can cause more wear and tear of the filter, and a correspondingly
shorter service life. If the vacuum cleaner does not perform with the original suction
power, the filters should be replaced with new ones.
CHECKING AND REPLACING THE AIR OUTLET FILTER
1. Press and open the air outlet grid at the rear section of the vacuum cleaner (see
Fig. 8).
2. Remove the filter.
3. The filter can be cleaned by tapping or shaking it. If the filter is extremely dirty,
it can be washed in lukewarm water. Let the filter dry completely before using
it again.
4. Insert a cleaned or new air outlet filter, and close the air outlet grid.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The vacuum cleaner and its accessories can be cleaned with a wet cloth.
Do not immerse the power cord, plug, or appliance in water or any other
liquid.
Do not use aggressive substances for cleaning, such as solvents or abrasives!
