CHECKING THE FULLNESS OF DUST CONTAINER
If the suction power of the vacuum cleaner decreases even when the floor nozzle is raised above the floor, empty the
dust container immediately.
Warning
: if the suction power is low even after the dust container is emptied, there may be several reasons:
- Some of the air passages (hose, telescopic tube, suction opening, floor nozzle or other attachments) are blocked.
- The air inlet filter in the dust container is dirty or old. It must be cleaned or replaced with a new one.
- The air outlet filter is dirty or old. It must be cleaned or replaced with a new one.
Check each of these options and fix the problem before using the appliance again. If you are unable to identify the cause
of the problem, take the appliance to your nearest service centre. Never use the appliance if the suction power is low, as
this could irreparably damage the motor.
MAINTENANCE
It is recommended to empty the dust container and clean the vacuum cleaner filters after each use of the vacuum
cleaner.
EMPTYING THE DUST CONTAINER
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner, pull the hose out of the suction opening.
2. Press the latch on the vacuum cleaner body (Fig. 3) and remove the dust container
upwards.
3. Remove the lid from the dust container and empty the dust into the trash can.
4. After closing the container, place it back into the vacuum cleaner. Make sure the
container is positioned properly. You must hear the click of the handle latches.
REPLACING THE FILTERS
•
The filters should be cleaned or replaced with visible soiling or when the suction power of the vacuum cleaner
drops. Check them after each use of the vacuum cleaner.
•
To avoid damaging the vacuum cleaner, do not use it without properly fitted filters.
