About the cyclone attachment
Using the cleaner with the cyclone attachment installed
reduces the amount of dust that enters the capsule,
which helps to prevent the suction force from weaken-
ing. In addition, cleaning after use is also simple.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the appliance
is switched off before carrying out any work on
the appliance.
CAUTION:
Clean the mesh filter of the
cyclone attachment and the filters of the cleaner
unit when they become clogged. Continued use in
the clogged condition may result in heating or smoke.
NOTICE:
When the cyclone attachment is
attached, do not use the cleaner in a horizontal
or upward facing position. Doing so may cause the
mesh filter to become clogged.
NOTICE:
Always use the cleaner with the filters
installed, even when using the cyclone attach-
ment. Using the cleaner without the filters installed
may result in a motor malfunction.
NOTE: Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner,
and extension wand are locked properly before use.
NOTE: Empty the dust case of the cyclone attach-
ment and the capsule of the cleaner when dust has
accumulated. Continued use will result in weakened
suction force.
NOTE: You can also use the cyclone attachment with-
out lock function.
NOTE: To install or remove the cyclone attachment,
refer to the section "Installing and removing cleaner
attachments".
