DeLonghi Upright Vacuum Cleaner manual Cleaning and Maintenance

reduced noise when cleaning hard floors and upholstery.

•Minimum power: indispensable for vacu- uming delicate textiles and upholstery, to avoid strong suction on the fabric which may tear the fabric and reduce cleaning performance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out cleaning or mainte- nance, always remove the plug from the power socket.

Full-bag indicator (5)

The full-bag indicator is on the lower part of the broom and is activated when the suction hose is blocked or the dust bag is excessively full.

Changing the dust bag

Remove hatch cover (6) by pulling it out- wards (fig.9)

Release the dust bag.

Fit with a new dust bag, making sure to slide the cardboard collar correctly into its grooves (fig. 10-11).

Replace the hatch cover and secure in place by pressing until it locks (fig.12).

Care of the motor filter

In order to maintain the maximum suction ef- ficiency, and to ensure that the motor is ade- quately cooled and that the air vented from the appliance contains no dust particles, the motor filter should be cleaned regularly. Wash the motor filter in water with a little household detergent, and allow to dry thor- oughly before replacing (fig.13).

Replacing the microfilter/s

The electrostatic 3M-filter assures a high- quality out-put of air as it retains dust, pol- lens, etc.

To maintain its efficiency, the micro-filter should be changed every 2-3 months.

To replace the micro-filter, lift the front air exhaust grille and remove filter. Replace with a new filter and close the grille pressing it down firmly (Fig. 14).

Storing the machine

Store leaning against a wall with the power head with brush down to prevent slipping. Or else, hang on the wall by the hole in the handgrip on a nail, hook, or a screw with plug.
