CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the filter
• The frequency that the filter should be cleaned will depend on
appliance usage. For maximum efficiency the filter should be
cleaned every time the dust container is emptied.
• Switch off the cleaner and disconnect from the charging
bracket.

assembly from cleaner

reduce the suction and damage the motor.
