CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, switch off the appliance
and unplug it from the mains power.
The dirt vacuumed up will enter the dust container (D). The air is then cleaned through a permanent
washable filter inside the dust container, by a filter to protect the motor and by an air outlet filter,
located on the underside of the appliance.
WARNING: Never use the vacuum cleaner if any filter is missing or damaged. Any dust cleaned
up will enter the appliance and damage the motor.
WARNING: Clean the filters regularly or in any case, whenever the suction power seems to be
reduced.
Emptying the dust container (D)
The transparent surface of the dust container makes it easy to see when this needs to be emptied.
- Press the release button (B) and at the same time, remove the dust container (D) using the rel-
evant handle (Fig. 6).
- Open the door through the apposite lever (Fig. 7).
- Empty the dust container (D).
- To clean the inside of the container (D), it is possible to remove the washable filter by pulling it
outwards (Fig. 8).
- Close the hatch ad refit the dust container (D) onto the body of the appliance so that it clicks in
place.
IMPORTANT: When the dust container becomes full, it is advisable to place a plastic bag over
the top and empty it inside the bag itself to prevent dust and dirt from leaking out.
