Continuous use under such conditions may cause an
electric shock and breakage of the cleaner.

certain amount of water.
When the tank is full with liquid, the cleaner stops auto-

Filter cleaning system

This appliance has filter cleaning system. During the
use of the appliance, filter cleaning system dusts the
filters automatically to prevent the suction force lower-
ing because of clogging of filters.
If the appliance sucks up the large quantity of dust all at
once, suction force may decrease. In that case, manual
filter cleaning is recommended.
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Set the suction power to maximum, and then close
the suction hose opening with your palm.
3.
Switch on the appliance and operate for approx-
imately 15 seconds with the suction hose opening
closed.
