•
Carefully remove stubborn dirt.
•
Use only a slightly damp cloth to clean the housing. Do not use cleaning agents containing silicone as
these can attack the plastic parts.

•
Keep the vacuum cleaner, especially its gripping surfaces, clean and free from oil and grease. Do not
use cleaning agents containing silicone.

Never operate the vacuum cleaner when the air vents are blocked! Clean the air vents carefully using a
dry brush. Prevent foreign matter from penetrating inside the turbine aperture.
