CLEANING AND REPLACING THE FILTERS

The filters of the vacuum cleaner can be cleaned by mechanical shaking and cleaning with a soft brush. Heavily fouled filters can be washed after this step and cleaned with a soft brush in lukewarm water. Do not use detergents.

It is important to let the wet parts dry thoroughly. Wet filters might be damaged if used for vacuuming!

Do not use a hair dryer for drying!

Note: Wet cleaning can cause more wear and tear of the filters, and a correspondingly shorter service life.

The filters should be cleaned or replaced whenever they are visibly fouled, or when the suction power decreases. The filters should be checked after each use of the vacuum
Never use the vacuum cleaner without properly installed filters to avoid damage to the

Suitable filter types are available at your local retailer, or they can be ordered from the manufacturer

Disposal of accumulators and battery cells

If an appliance contains an accumulator or a battery cell, these components contain substances that may damage the environment when decomposing. Prior to the appliance disposal or the accumulator or battery cell replacement, it is necessary to remove the original component and take it to a suitable designated collection yard.

WARNING!

An accumulator or battery cell:

Never throw into a fire!
Never disassemble it!
Never short-circuit its terminals!

Should an accumulator or battery cell leakage occur, the leaked solution is of an alkaline character. If your skin gets stained, rinse it immediately with soap and water and seek medical treatment.

To remove the accumulator, screw-off the cover on the lower side of the portable part. Disconnect the accumulator by separating the clamps or cutting the lead-in cables of the accumulator.
