Cleaning and Maintenance
Separate the filter and waste chamber into the component parts and empty the dust chamber.
Warm soapy water can be used for the plastic and metal parts. ALL filter and cyclone parts must
be dry before re-use.
We recommend the dust chamber is emptied before the level of dirt reaches the max scale line
on the outer waste chamber.
Operating the unit with a full waste chamber can cause damage to the motor and
invalidate the guarantee.

remove dirt. Alternatively if the filter is very dirty it may be
washed by hand in warm water and allowed to dry naturally. It
must be fully dry before re-use. The coloured tab must be facing
We recommend replacing the cloth micro filter every six months
with normal use. Part Number EB0885

charged then the brush will need to be cleaned of hair and other fibres.
