Avoiding Exposure to Dust
When emptying any vacuum cleaner, it is diffi cult to avoid exposure to dust. If you
are an allergy sufferer or sensitive to dust, you can minimize this risk.
1. Place the dust container in a large bag, and close the bag as tightly as
possible around the container before emptying it.
2. Remove the container, close the bag tightly and dispose of immediately.
You might also consider wearing disposable gloves and a facemask while
emptying the dust container. Or ask a non-allergy sufferer to empty the container,
when required.
It is important to empty the dust container and clean the fi lters regularly. If this is
not done, the cleaner will lose its effectiveness.
We recommend that you empty and clean the vacuum after each use.
Cleaning the UV-C Bulb
During use, dust may collect on the protective cover and the UV-C bulb, which will
reduce the effectiveness of the UV-C light. For maximum UV-C exposure, clean the
bulb periodically.
1. Detach the protective grill on the bottom of the base unit by gently pulling up
on the two tabs at the back of the covering. Set the cover aside. (See fi gure 5)
2. Using a soft lint-free cloth, carefully remove any dust from the protective cover
and the UV-C bulb.
3. Replace the protective cover by aligning it, pressing on the rear tabs to snap
them into position and fi nally pressing down the front of the cover, which will
click into place.
