Cleaning the device
Note!
• Empty the dust bin when it is full and clean the � lters regularly to avoid overheating the
motor.
• Before cleaning the device, always pull the power plug out of the socket.
• Keep the device, cord and mains plug away from water or other liquids in order to avoid
electrical shocks. When cleaning, make sure that no liquid penetrates the device. Only
the foam dust � lter, plastic dust � lter, micro � lter and exhaust � lter may be cleaned with
water. However, they must be completely dry when being placed back in the device.
• The � lters are not suitable for the washing machine, dishwasher or dryer! Only air dry the
� lters and do not in any circumstances use a hair dryer.
• Do not use any scouring or abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads for cleaning. They could
damage the surface.
• Clean the dust � lter and exhaust � lter regularly or if you notice that the suction power is
declining.
• If needed, clean the housing with a damp, soft cloth. Then dry it with a soft cloth.
• Regularly remove hairs and lint from the nozzles. The � lters may discolour over time. This
is normal and does not aff ect functionality.
Emptying the dust bin
• Remove the suction hose from the dust bin (see chapter “Assembly”, section “Inserting/
removing the hose”).
• Push the release button on the dust bin and pull it out of the device by the handle.
• Hold the dust bin over an open garbage
bin. The dust bin should be as close
as possible to the garbage bin so that
dust from the dust bin only falls into the
garbage bin and is not dispersed in the
surrounding area.
• Push the button to open the dust bin. The
bottom of the dust bin will open and the
dirt will fall out.
• Shut the bottom of the dust bin again. The
fastener must audibly lock into place.
• Insert the dust bin in the device: See
section ”Inserting the dust bin”.
