Cleaning
When the dust case becomes dirty or the mesh filter is
clogged, remove and wash them with water. (Refer to
"Disposing of dust" for the removal procedure.)
Dry the parts thoroughly before reinstallation and use.
(Fig. 40)
When the mesh filter gets dirty badly, clean it in the fol-
lowing procedures.
1. Turn the mesh filter counterclockwise and remove it
while the hooks are unlocked. (Fig. 41)
2. Remove the dust on the mesh filter and then wash it
with water. After that, dry it thoroughly.
3. Insert the mesh filter into the base while the hooks
are aligned with the port. Turn the mesh filter clock-
wise until the hooks are locked with a click. Make
sure that the mesh filter is installed securely.
