Unplug the appliance and remove the flexible tube from the
suction inlet.
Remove the dust box by pulling upwards on the handle.
Important: Never use this handle to move the appliance.
Remove the HEPA filter from its housing and empty and
clean the box.
To extend the life of the HEPA filter, the filter is protected by a
mesh that filters the bigger particles of dust. Clean the mesh
often with a soft brush if necessary, taking care not to break it.
It can also be washed in warm water. Make sure that it is
completely dry before putting it back.
Replace the HEPA filter and then place the dust box back
into position.
Unplug the appliance and remove the flexible tube from the
suction inlet.
HEPA filter (4)
The filter should be changed whenever you notice a
significant reduction in the suction force. We recommend that
you change the HEPA filter at least once a year.
Warning: Never use the vacuum cleaner without a HEPA
filter, as this may damage the motor.
Motor protection filter (5)
This filter is located opposite the HEPA filter. To access it, first
remove the dust box and then pull up on the grille that holds
it in place. You should change this filter whenever you
change the HEPA filter.
Warning: Never use the vacuum cleaner without a motor
protection filter.
Air outlet filter (10)
This element filters the air expelled from the appliance. To
change the filter, simply remove the grille that holds it in
place. This filter should be changed every time you change
the HEPA filter.
8. SAFETY
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with an anti-
overload protection device which prevents the
cleaner from working if it overheats (e.g. if the tubes
and/or air inlet nozzles are blocked). If the vacuum
cleaner switches off when you are using it, set the
power control to minimum and wait a few minutes
for the motor to cool down. Remove the blockage
and switch the cleaner back on.
If the vacuum cleaner does not work normally again,
take it to a service centre.
