Emptying the waste chamber and
caring for your filter
Disconnect the VC600 from the power socket-
outlet and remove any accessory attached to the
unit. Depress the waste chamber release button B
(Fig. 6). While holding the release button, separate
the chamber from the main body. Remove the pre-
filter and filter body from the chamber and empty
the waste from the chamber
(Fig. 7). The chamber
can be rinsed out with warm (not hot) soapy water
if necessary. Ensure that the chamber is dry before
re-assembly.
Filter cleaning - we recommend the filter and pre-
filter are checked and cleaned each time the waste
chamber is emptied.
The VC600 filter has 2 separate parts, an outer pre-
filter foam which fits over the pleated filter The
pre-filter will collect larger particles and prevent
these from becoming lodged in the grooves of the
pleated filter. Clean regularly.
To clean the filter separate the two parts, pulling
the foam pre-filter off, then gently shake, tap or
brush the pleated filter to remove dust particles
and debris from the grooves
(Fig. 8). The outer pre-
filter can be brushed and tapped to remove debris
around the filter
(Fig. 9).
All parts of the filter assembly are suitable for
gentle washing in warm (not hot) water. Do not
use detergent.
Allow to dry naturally for 24 hours
before refitting to the VC600. Ensure all parts have
fully dried before reassembly.
Only use the VC600with both parts of the filter
assembly in place.
