Notes

• The mop attachment can be used while vacuum cleaning is on or off. If you are mopping and vacuuming at the same time, first move the vacuum cleaner forwards on the surface you are cleaning and then return using the same path you have already vacuumed and cleaned. This will ensure the proper sequence of the cleaning process
  – vacuum cleaning to get rid of any dirt first, followed by floor mopping.

• do not use/pour any detergent in the mop water tank.

REMOVING DUST CONTAINER, FILTERS, WATER TANK

TAKING OUT WATER TANK (K2)
When removing the water tank K2, follow the procedure shown on Fig. 11.
Empty excessive water from the tank. Install the water tank using the reverse procedure.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Notes

• For hygienic purposes we recommend that you empty the container and clean the filters after each use.
• Maximum suction power can be achieved when the filters are clean and the dustbag is empty.
• Every time you empty the dust container, we recommend that you also clean the filters.
• When you are vacuuming very fine dust, the filter pores might get clogged.
  This reduces the air flow and reduces the suction power. In such a case, the filters need to be cleaned even though the container is not full yet.

Clean the surface of the vacuum cleaner and adaptor with a soft wet cloth.
Do not use any rough and aggressive detergents!

Accessories
After any vacuuming it is recommended to check visually the brushes or collectors for possible impurities. If there are some impurities, remove them.

Floor nozzle with rotary brush (G)
Remove any dirt (especially hair, animal hairs, etc.) stuck to the brush.
To make cleaning easier, the brush can be removed (Fig. 7).

Small direct-drive turbo brush (H)
Remove any dirt (especially hair, animal hairs, etc.) stuck to the brush.
To make cleaning easier, the brush can be removed (Fig. 8).

Dust container (D)
Clean the surface and the inside of the container D with a soft wet cloth. Blow out separator D2. Plastic component D3 can be rinsed in flowing water. Allow all parts to dry completely.

HEPA filter (A2, D4)
Shake out the input HEPA filter A2/D4 gently, or blow it out. If the HEPA filter is very dirty, you can rinse it under running lukewarm water. Allow it to dry out properly.

Caution

• Do not clean the filters with any aggressive washing or cleaning detergents or hot water.

• Washing HEPA filters in water means deterioration of their filtration capacity.
  The filter cannot be washed more than three times. After that, a new filter needs to be purchased.

• HEPA filters should be replaced 2x a year.

• The filters are not dish-washer safe.

• Failure to clean or replace the filters as required may cause a defect of the vacuum cleaner!

Mopping adapter (K)
Use fine and damp cloth for cleaning the surface of the mopping adapter. For a thorough maintenance, the adapter can be disassembled (Fig. 11). Rinse tank K2 with water. Rinse plastic holder K6 in flowing water. Allow all parts to dry thoroughly before re-assembling.
