IMPORTANT: Always turn off the appliance and unplug it before storing or cleaning.

1 • Cleaning the dust container (9)

1.a Fast emptying

Whenever the dust container is full, empty it as follows: remove the container by sliding it downwards

(fig.14), place it over a bin and press the “Push” button in order to open the trap and empty the

container's contents (fig.15). Close the trap (fig.16) and replace the dust container on the main body

of your appliance (fig.19).

1.b Complete cleaning procedure

It is advisable to clean the dust container regularly.

• Remove the dust container (fig.14), then separate each of its components (9).

• Remove the foam motor protection filter (9c).

• Place the bagless dust container (9a), the dust separator (9b) and the lid (9d) under warm water

(fig.20); then let them stand to dry or dry them with a dry cloth.

• Wash the foam motor protection filter (see paragraph 2).

• Once the components of the dust container are all dry, reassemble them; do the same with the extra

foam motor protection filter (9c) provided as a supplement with your appliance.

• Close the dust container and reposition it on the main body of your appliance (fig.19).

2 • Cleaning the foam motor protection filter (9c)

ATTENTION: Never use your vacuum cleaner without the foam motor protection filter.

In order to maintain the high performance level of your appliance, do not vacuum ultra-fine substances

such as plaster, cement or ashes, and clean the foam motor protection filter at least once a month. If

you perceive that your vacuum cleaner is performing under regular average level, we recommend

that you clean the foam motor protection filter more frequently.

• Remove the dust container lid (9d) and then remove the foam motor protection filter (9c) (fig.21).

• Clean the foam motor protection filter (9c) with warm, soapy water.

Rinse and let dry for at least 12 hours before replacing the filter on the appliance (fig.22).

IMPORTANT: In order to ensure optimal motor protection, make sure that the foam motor

protection filter is completely dry before replacing it on the appliance. You will need to let it dry for

at least 12 hours before reinserting it into the dust container. An extra foam motor protection filter

is provided with your vacuum cleaner so that you may use the appliance while the first filter is still

drying.

ATTENTION: Never place the dust container components or the foam motor protection filter in an

automatic dishwasher.

3 • Vacuum cleaner care and maintenance

Wipe the main body of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth; then dry it with a dry cloth (fig.23).

IMPORTANT: Do not use detergents, or aggressive or abrasive products. The transparent color of

the dust container and/or of the separator lid may change with time; however, this will not modify

the performance of the appliance.
