the unit on, press the dusk shaking button 5 times (8) with the aluminium pipe (7), waiting
2-3 seconds before pressing each time (see figure 3 at the end of the booklet).
If the suction power does not improve, it is necessary to switch the unit off, disconnect
it from the power supply and clean the filters (see MAINTENANCE).

- Clean the filters (14-16):
o after each use, shake the filters and remove any dust residues using a brush;
o after several uses, if the suction power seems to have reduced, wash the filters
with cold water only, then let them dry completely (24h for HEPA filter) before
putting it back in place (do not use dryers or other means).
Note: washing in water gradually deteriorates the filters. If, after washing the
filters, the suction power still seems reduced, replace the filters.
Reassemble the parts on the unit only when completely dry.
- To clean the unit externally, use a soft and slightly damp cloth.
Do not use overly wet substances, liquids or cloths, because any infiltration could
damage the unit irreparably.
Do not use alcohol or chemicals to clean the unit and the filters.
NEVER SOAK THE UNIT IN WATER.
