REPLACING THE DUST BAG AND CLEANING THE FILTERS
The filter system consists of: motor filter
HEPA air filter, to vacuum the smallest particles
It is necessary to clean the filters regularly to avoid operating problems.
Paper dust bag
The dust bag level indicator indicates when the dust bag should be replaced.
The hose might get blocked by a larger object. In this case the dust bag level indicator will
be red. However this does not mean that you have to replace the dust bag. Just remove
the object which blocks your tube or flexible hose, and your appliance will function
properly again. Do not forget to unplug the appliance before removing the blocking
object.
Replace the dust bag when the dust bag level indicator is completely red. First switch off
the appliance and unplug it.
Open the cover by pressing the release button (8).
Remove the dust bag and throw it in the dustbin.
To put a new dust bag in the appliance, proceed the other way around, taking the
direction indicated on the dust bag into consideration.
Make sure to put it correctly in the appliance, i.e. make sure that the hole in the dust bag
carton is right across the hose connection inlet.
Close the cover by pressing it slightly.
Motor filter
To clean the motor filter, remove it and wash it in water (approximately every 3 months). Let it
dry completely before putting it back in the appliance.
Air filter
This filter guarantees fresh air during cleaning. It should be rinsed clean at least three times
a year or when it becomes visibly solid. Always operate the cleaner with filter installed,
otherwise reduced suction or motor damage may result.
Unplug the appliance and open the cover by pressing the release button (8).
Take the filter out.
Rinse the filter in water.
Do not use a dishwasher to rinse the filter nor use a hair dryer to dry it.
Allow the filter to dry completely before placing it back in the appliance.
Close the cover by pressing it slightly.
PRACTICAL HINTS
When cleaning stairs, we advise you to keep the unit in a vertical orientation.
The vacuum cleaner requires no other regular maintenance than the filter cleaning and
bag replacement tasks as detailed elsewhere.
At the back of this appliance, there is a holder on which you can attach the telescopic
tube. Put the appliance in its normal position to be able to attach the tube to the holder.
If you notice a loss of suction power, it is probably due to one or a combination of the
following events: blocked filter, full or punctured bag or blockage in tubes. If your
appliance still does not work properly after you have checked those problems, please ask
a qualified electrician for advice.
