CLEANING THE DUST BIN FILTER
The Dust Bin Filter consists of a particulate filter and a sponge filter.
Clean both the particulate filter and sponge filters using the following sequence.
3. Use a cleaning brush to clean the sponge filter.
If using water to clean it, allow it to dry completely
in the shade before refitting.
4. Assemble the particulate filter and sponge
filters back onto the filter housing using the
following sequence.
※
Fit the rectangular locator on the particulate
filter into the locating slot of the filter body.
※
Be careful not to incorrectly assemble the

Do NOT wash the particulate filter with water.
Its suction power will be reduced.
• To preserve the performance of the Robot Cleaner, clean the particulate filter at least
once a week, with a brush or vacuum cleaner.
• The particulate filter and sponge filters must be fitted to the filter housing before
refitting the filter to the dust bin. Operating the Robot Cleaner without the particulate
filter and sponge filters will cause the suction motor to malfunction.
