Cleaning and storing
CAUTION!
❐ Empty the dust container if it is full and clean the HEPA fi lter regularly to prevent
overheating of the motor.
❐ Always remove the mains plug from the plug socket before doing any cleaning of
the device.
❐ Keep the device, the cable and the mains plug away from water or other liquids in
order to avoid electric shocks. Make sure that no liquid gets into the device during
cleaning. Only the HEPA fi lter and the dust fi lter may be cleaned with water. Howe-
ver, they must be completely dry before they are put back into the device.
❐ The HEPA fi lter is not machine-washable, dishwasher-safe or suitable for tumble
drying! Only ever dry the fi lter in the air, and never use a hair dryer to do so.
❐ Do not use any sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning pads to clean the
device. These could damage the surfaces.
•
Clean the HEPA fi lter regularly or if you notice a decrease in the suction power.
•
Clean the housing if necessary using a damp, soft cloth. Dry it with a soft cloth.
•
Remove hair and fl uff from the nozzles at regular intervals.
•
Store the vacuum cleaner and the nozzles in a cool, dry indoor room out of the reach
of children and animals.
The HEPA fi lter may lose some of its colour over time. This is normal and does
not have any adverse effect on function.
