Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Remove the battery before cleaning or performing main-
tenance on the vacuum cleaner, making tool adjust-
ments, changing accessories or storing the vacuum
cleaner. This safety measure prevents the vacuum cleaner

 For safe and proper working, always keep the vacuum
cleaner, the filter assembly and the ventilation slots
clean.
– Clean the vacuum cleaner housing from time to time using a
moist cloth.

If required, clean the filter assembly (see "Cleaning the Filter
Assembly", page 13).

Malfunctions
In the case of insufficient vacuuming performance, check the fol-
lowing:
– Is the dust cup 8 full?
▷ See "Cleaning the Dust Cup", page 13.
– Is the HEPA filter 18 clogged with dust?
▷ See "Cleaning the Filter Assembly", page 13.
– Is the capacity of the battery pack too low?
▷ See "Battery Charging", page 12. Regular emptying of the dust cup 8 and cleaning of the filter as-
sembly 15 ensures optimal vacuum capacity.
If the vacuuming performance is not achieved thereafter, take
the vacuum cleaner to customer service.
