Cleaning the appliance housing
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean the housing of the appli-
ance and to remove dirt on the suction port and the inside of
the housing cover.
Dry off splashed water in the suction chamber with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the special hygiene filter and prefilter
The unit has a high-quality special hygiene filter as well as a thin, blue
foam prefilter* or activated carbon filter* which can be cleaned repeat-
edly when necessary and depending on the type of household dust.
Clean the special hygiene filter and foam prefilter* or activated
carbon filter* as necessary if the suction power decreases,
but every six months at the latest.
To do this, lift the foam prefilter* or activated carbon filter* and the
special hygiene filter out of the appliance with the housing cover open.
Carefully knock out the dirt. The special hygiene filter and the foam
filter can be rinsed off with clear water if heavily soiled.
When cleaning, do not use any brushes or implements which could
damage the filter ribs. Before inserting back into the appliance,
the filters must be completely dry.
Never rinse the activated carbon filter* with water.
Replace the special hygiene filter and foam prefilter* or activated
carbon filter* with new ones if the suction power does not considerably
increase after cleaning or if they are very dirty or damaged (see “Re-
placing the special hygiene filter and prefilter” under “Maintenance”).
