How to maintain your vacuum cleaner
Emptying the dust cup
Always switch off the vacuum and unplug it from the electrical socket before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
Empty the dust cup after each use. Also be sure to empty the dust cup anytime dust reaches the max fill line. A full dust cup will reduce the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner so be sure to empty the dust cup regularly.
- Press the dust cup release button and take the dust cup out of the vacuum.
- Bring the dust cup over a trash receptacle and then press the release button to open the lower lid. The dust will fall out the bottom and into the trash.
- Close the dust cup lid after dust has been fully emptied. Return the dust cup to the vacuum cleaner.
Cleaning the Filter
The filter is an effective system for removing dust. Sponge filters require cleaning on a monthly basis (or more depending on use frequency). Do not operate the vacuum cleaner without the sponge filter in place.
- To remove the filter, pull on the dust cup lid clip and lift the cover upwards.
- The filter is located inside the top cover of the dust cup. Pull on the handle of the filter housing then remove it.
- Tap the filter over a bin to remove the dust.
- Take the sponge filter out of the filter housing.
- Wash the filter under water (max. 40 degree).
- DO NOT USE DETERGENTS to clean any part. Leave it out to dry for 24 hours or until fully dry before placing it back in the vacuum cleaner.
- Put the filter back into the housing. Put the housing and filter back into the dust cup lid. Finally, close the dust cup lid.
