Regular maintenance
NOTICE: Clean the lters in the cyclone unit
when they become clogged. Continuing use in
the clogged condition may result in heating or motor
malfunction.
NOTICE: Do not blow dust sticking on the
cleaner and lters by air duster. It brings dust into
the housing and causes failure.
Routine maintenance is required to restore normal
operating conditions.
Cleaner body

a cloth dampened in soapy water, and clean out the
suction openings.

Cyclone unit and lters
NOTICE: Dust o and clean out inside the
cyclone unit and lters, when suction perfor-
mance becomes less eective regardless of the
amount of dust collected in the dust case.
NOTICE: After washing lters, dry them thor-
oughly before use. Insuciently dried lters may
cause poor suction and shorten the service life of the
motor.

be sure to re-install them before use. If you use the
cleaner without lters and sponge sheet, dust comes
into the motor housing and causes malfunction.
