MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Appliance

Before Cleaning the Appliance

To maintain the optimum suction power, the cyclonic mesh filter, the exhaust filter and the pre-filter should be cleaned regularly and washed under running water at least once a month.

Turn off the power before cleaning the appliance.
The frequency of cleaning varies depending on the usage environment and usage time. In a dusty environment, clean frequently.
Never wash the Power Drive Nozzle, rotating brush or product body with water. Water could reach the motor and cause electric shock or fire.
Do not allow foreign objects to enter the motor. Doing so may cause electric shock, fire or product damage.
Do not insert fingers or sharp objects into the motor. Doing so could cause product damage, personal injury or electric shock.
Do not apply force or allow impacts to the cyclonic mesh filter. Doing so could deform the filter, compromise product performance, or cause the product to malfunction.
If the Kompressor lever does not return to the top, remove the cyclonic mesh filter from the dust bin and clean it. A clogged or dirty filter may cause poor product performance.

Removing Foreign Objects

If the appliance is clogged with foreign objects, the suction power changes, the motor cycles repeatedly, and the foreign objects clogging alarm icon blinks.

If clogging persists, the appliance will turn off automatically to prevent damage. Separate the battery from the product body and remove the foreign objects before resuming use of the appliance.

Check the inside of the product body, above the Kompressor working plate, the extension pipe, inlets, exhaust filter, pre-filter and cyclonic mesh filter for foreign objects.
If the inlets are not completely blocked, the foreign objects clogging alarm indicator may not light up.
If the sound of the appliance becomes loud or the cleaning performance is poor, check for foreign objects.

Cleaning the Dust Bin

Empty and clean the dust bin after every use.

If the dust bin is completely full of dust or the filter is clogged, the suction power may be reduced.
Do not use the appliance without the cyclonic mesh filter installed. Doing so could damage the appliance.

1 Remove the battery from the product body before cleaning the dust bin.

2 Push down the Kompressor lever several times to collect and compact the dust from the outside of the cyclonic mesh filter and the interior walls of the dust bin.

Foreign objects which become lodged in the cyclonic mesh filter may be difficult to dislodge with the Kompressor lever. Remove the cyclonic mesh filter and use the provided cleaning brush to clean it.

3 Press the dust bin cover release button to open the dust bin cover. Shake the dust bin to empty it.

Be careful as dust or foreign objects may spill out when opening the dust bin. Empty the dust bin into a wastebasket or where dust and foreign objects can be easily removed.
The dust bin can be wrapped in a plastic bag to contain the dust when emptying the dust bin.
If the Kompressor lever does not slide down smoothly, foreign objects may be trapped between the dust bin and the cyclonic mesh filter. Clean the dust bin and cyclonic mesh filter to avoid product damage.
Do not force the Kompressor lever down if foreign objects are caught around the working plate of the Kompressor system. Doing so may cause product damage.

4 Insert the crevice tool into the cyclonic mesh filter and turn it counterclockwise to remove the filter.
