Cleaning
From time to time wipe off the outside (cleaner body) of
the cleaner using a cloth dampened in soapy water.
Clean out also the suction opening, dust bag/paper lter
mounting area and the dust stopper.
Wash the dust bag in soapy water when it is clogged
with dust and the cleaner power becomes weak. Dry it
out thoroughly before use. An insufciently dried lter
may cause poor suction and shorten the service life of
the motor.
NOTE: Paper lter is a throw-away type.
When the sponge lter is clogged with dust, remove it
from the cleaner and then wipe it off or wash in water.
Removing and installing the sponge

CAUTION: After cleaning sponge lter, be

dry it up before installing. An insufciently dried
sponge lter may shorten the service life of the motor.
To remove the sponge lter, remove the dust bag or
paper lter and then pinch and take it out.
