MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Emptying the dirt container

IMPORTANT:
Always switch off and unplug the machine before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
Switch the machine off before connecting or disconnecting the lift-out, hose and accessories or before emptying the dirt container.
The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-out. If for any reason the machine should overheat, the thermostat will automatically
turn the machine off. If this happens switch off and unplug the machine. Remove and empty the dirt container.
Check the machine for blockages and clean the filters if required. Allow the machine to cool for approximately 1 hour.

Don’t over fill the dirt container to avoid blocking the air flow through the machine.

place before using the machine.
