(curtains, textiles).
• Position (Medium) for daily vacuuming of all types
of surfaces with low levels of soiling.
• Position (MAX) for vacuuming hard floors (tiled
floors, parquet, etc.) and rugs and
carpets in the case of high levels of soiling.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The air we breathe contains particles that can be allergenic: larva
and dust mite faeces, mould, pollen, smoke and animal waste
(hair, skin, saliva, urine), etc.
The finest particles can penetrate deep inside the respiratory
system or can cause inflammation and affect the entire
respiratory system.
(H)EPA ([High] Efficiency Particulate Air Filter) filters retain the
finest particles.
Thanks to the (H)EPA filter, the air released into the room is
cleaner than the air suctioned.
IMPORTANT: always switch off and unplug your vacuum
cleaner before cleaning or servicing. Check and clean your
vacuum cleaner and the different filters regularly.
IMPORTANT: do not operate your vacuum cleaner
without the filtration system fitted (foam,
microfilter and filter).
1 • Emptying the dust compartment (5)
After each use, empty the dust compartment as follows:
Take the dust compartment by the handle and remove it (fig.15).
Separate the fine dust compartment (5b) from the main
compartment (5a) (Fig.16).
Empty the main compartment over a dustbin (Fig.17) then
empty the fine dust compartment (5b) (Fig.18).
Clean the compartment seals using a cloth.
Reposition the fine dust compartment on the main
compartment (Fig.19) then put the dust compartment back into
place (fig.20).
