Cleaning Removing and installing the sponge filter 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 pack mounting area and the dust stopper. CAUTION: • Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result. 1 ► 1 . Sponge filter To remove the sponge filter, remove the dust bag or paper pack and then pinch and take it out. 1 Wash the dust bag in soapy water when it is clogged with dust and the cleaner power becomes small. Dry it out thoroughly before use. An insufficiently dried bag may cause poor suction and shorten the service life of the motor. NOTE: • Paper pack is a throw-away type. When the sponge filter is clogged with dust, remove it from the cleaner and then wipe it off or wash in water. ► 1 . Recessed wall Press in the whole edge of the sponge filter against the recessed wall inside the dust bag/paper pack mounting area. CAUTION: • After cleaning sponge filter, be sure to install it on the cleaner. If washed in water, dry it up before installing. An insufficiently dried sponge filter may shorten the service life of the motor. 12 ENGLISH
