After use, move the filter cleaning lever back and forth

around ten times to loosen dust from the filter.

Disposing of dust

Dispose of dust before the level exceeds the Dust Full

line. Dispose of dust before it reaches the line, including it

accumulates at one side only. (Fig. 17)

Cleaning the filter (thoroughly cleaning )

(Fig. 26 & Fig. 27)

Wash out the filter if it gets too dirty, when suction power

drops or the orange lamp starts flashing.

Remove the dust cup, filter cover, filter, and cylindrical

filter apart and wash each separately to clean them. Use

plain water or a neutral detergent solution to wash each

part.

After washing the parts, leave them out to fully dry and

then put them back together.

Cleaning the cleaner body

From time to time wipe off the outside (cleaner body) of

the cleaner using a cloth dampened in soapy water.

CAUTION:

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Dry it out thoroughly before use. An insufficiently dried

filter may cause poor suction and shorten the service life

of the motor.

Do not blow dust sticking on the cleaner by air duster. It

brings dust into the housing and causes failure.

STORAGE

Shorten the zoom pipe and insert the hook into the holder

securely. (Fig. 28)
