Cleaning and care
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply be-
fore cleaning it. Turn off and unplug
it.
Vacuum cleaner and accessories
The vacuum cleaner and all plastic ac-
cessories can be cleaned with a propri-
etary cleaner suitable for plastic.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, glass cleaning agents, all-
purpose cleaners or oil-based condi-
tioning agents!
Dust compartment
The dust compartment can, if neces-
sary, be cleaned using a dry duster,
brush or, if available, a second vacuum
cleaner to vacuum the dust out.
Monitor the filter bag change indicator
and inspect all filters regularly. Clean or
replace them when necessary accord-
ing to these Operating Instructions.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner
get wet. If moisture gets into the ap-
pliance, there is a risk of electric
shock.
