Cleaning

When emptying any vacuum cleaner it is difficult to
avoid exposure to dust. To minimize this risk, please en-
sure that you encase the dust container in a large bag to
empty it and close the bag as tightly as possible around
the container. Remove the container and close the bag as
tightly and quickly as possible and dispose of this immedi-
ately. It is advisable to wear disposable gloves and a face
mask while emptying the cleaner. If at all possible, ask a
non allergy sufferer to empty the dust container if required.

Do not let the vacuum cleaner, the Electrobrush, the
telescopic suction tube and the suction hose get wet.

The Electrobrush, telescopic suction tube and suction
hose contain electrical cables. The plug connectors must
not come into contact with water. Danger of electric shock.
They should only be cleaned with a dry cloth.

Clean the vacuum cleaner and accessories only with a
dry cloth or slightly damp cloth. Exception:
– Dust container / fine dust container: clean only with wa-
ter and a little mild washing-up liquid then dry thor-
oughly.
– Fine dust filter: do not clean the inside of the fine dust
filter. Rinse the outside under running cold water. Do not
use washing-up liquid. Do not use any sharp or pointed
objects and do not brush the fine dust filter. After clean-
ing, leave the fine dust filter to dry for a minimum of
24 hours before placing it back in the fine dust con-
tainer.
