Storing The Appliance - Dirt Devil Royal M3310 Mode D'emploi

3 Maintenance and care
3.3 Cleaning the filter sleeve and central lamellae filter
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Before opening the appliance, switch off the appliance
(Fig. 13/a) and pull the mains plug from the socket. In addition, wind up
the power cord and fasten it with the holding clip (Fig. 13/b).
ATTENTION:
It is best to also clean both filter elements after every vacuum cleaning
session. Clean both filter elements directly after you have vacuumed up
fine dusts, such as rubble, plaster, cement, fine drilling-dust, makeup,
powder, etc.
Clean both filter elements at least every 3 months.
The appliance can be damaged if you do not clean the filter elements.
ATTENTION:
Immediately replace the filter element as soon as you notice that it is
damaged or deformed (order information, ZChapter 3.2, "Spare parts
and accessories").

NOTE:
It can suffice to brush out the central lamellae filter with the supplied fur-
niture brush (Fig. 18/a). However, if this does not suffice, the lamellae
filter must also be cleaned with water (Fig. 19/a). The filter sleeve
should be washed out directly (Fig. 18/b).

3.4 Storing the appliance

ATTENTION:
Only use provided the carrying-handle when transporting the appliance.
The wheels are designed to increase operating convenience but are not
designed for long distances. In this regard there is a danger of the appli-
ance falling over and being damaged.

ATTENTION:
The central lamellae filter and the filter sleeve are washable, but they
must not be cleaned in dishwashers or washing machines. Also, do not
use cleaning agents or brushes with hard bristles.
NOTE:
Thoroughly rinse out the filter elements with cold or lukewarm water,
until dirt no longer escapes (Fig. 18/b, Fig. 19/a). Allow the filter ele-
ments to dry approx. 24 hours at room temperature. Do not install wet
filter elements.
After cleaning and subsequent drying the filter may remain slightly dis-
coloured. However this does not impair its filtering characteristics.
NOTE:
Ensure that the filter sleeve completely encloses the central lamellae fil-
ter (Fig. 19/b). When attaching the central lamellae filter ensure that it
engages in the aperture of the motor unit (Fig. 20/a) as shown.

ATTENTION:
Ensure that you have completely reassembled the appliance before put-
ting it away (ZChapter 3.4, "Storing the appliance"), so that it is directly
ready for operation the next time. You will avoid unintentionally vacuum-
ing without the filter mounted.
ATTENTION:
Store the appliance:
- dry (the substrate must be moisture resistant)
- cool (but not at temperatures close to or below freezing)
- out of the reach of children
