Note any maintenance actions in the maintenance log at the end of the manual.
SERVICE
Power cord
If the power cord of the central unit is damaged, it should be replaced with a special
power cord from the manufacturer in an authorised Aldes maintenance company.
Changing the dust bag
ALWAYS use Aldes microfibre dust bags on the C.Compact unit. Replace the dust bag
before it is completely full. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket. Remove the
used dust bag from its holder. Clean the dust bag space. Take a new dust bag from its
packing, and puff it with your hands. Attach the new dust bag to the dust bag holder. The
dust bag package contains a shutter sticker that can be used to close the used dust bag.
Maintenance of the turbine filter
The turbine filter protects the turbine, in case the dust bag gets damaged. The filter must
be intact and in place. When servicing the filter, remove the power cord from the socket.
Clean the filter with water. If the filter is damaged, replace it.
Maintenance of the HEPA exhaust air filter
The HEPA filter is available as an accessory. Remove the power cord from the socket
when servicing the filter. The filter may be cleaned with water, but avoid scrubbing.
The filter must be intact and in place. Replace the filter if it is damaged, after every
fifth change of the dust bag, or every three years, whichever is the sooner. It may be
necessary to replace the filter at an earlier stage if it is blocked or has absorbed odours.
Mark the date of changing the exhaust air filter on the side of the filter using a permanent
marker.

There are no parts for the user to maintain inside the central unit's motor housing. We
recommend that the need for maintenance and replacement for the electric motor's
turbine and other parts inside the motor housing are estimated by an authorised Aldes
service dealer after approx. 600 hours of use. This corresponds to approx. 8 years when
the device is used an average of an hour and a half per week.
Machine information for maintenance
Before contacting the authorised Aldes maintenance company, write down the type and
serial numbers from the name plate on the turbine casing. Do not drop the machine or
expose it to impact.
SAFETY GUARDS
The motor and other electrical parts are within the turbine casing. Only installers with
appropriate rights and expertise (authorised Aldes maintenance companies) are allowed
to open the turbine casing.
The central unit is equipped with protections that are designed to stop the machine in
case of any disturbances. The machine may be damaged, if it is used without investigating
why the protections were tripped and removing the cause. The protections should not be
