CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The air that we breathe contains particles which may be
allergenic: mite larva and excreta, mould, pollen, fumes and
animal residues (hair, skin, saliva, urine). The finest of these
particles penetrate deeply into the respiratory system, where
they can cause inflammation and alter the respiratory function as
a whole.
(H)EPA ((High) Efficiency Particulate Air Filter) filters retain the
finest particles.Thanks to the (H)EPA filter, the air that is expelled
back into the room is cleaner than the air vacuumed.
IMPORTANT: Always switch off and unplug your
vacuum cleaner before maintenance or cleaning.
Check and clean your vacuum cleaner and the
different filters regularly.

on the lid release button (fig.16).
- wash the dust compartment if needed in clean or
soapy water, and then leave to dry.
- press on "CLOSE" to close the cover (fig.17).
