Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Remove the battery before cleaning or performing
maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, making tool ad-
justments, changing accessories or storing the vacuum
cleaner. This safety measure prevents the vacuum cleaner
from being started accidentally.
 For safe and proper working, always keep the vacuum
cleaner and ventilation slots clean.
– Clean the vacuum cleaner housing from time to time using
a moist cloth.
– Clean soiled charger contacts using a dry cloth.
Cleaning the Dust Cup (see figures C1–C3)
To maintain the optimum performance of the vacuum cleaner,
clean the dust cup 5 after each use.
– Press release button 1 and remove the dust cup 5 from the
motor housing 4.
Remove the filter assembly 12 from the dust cup.
– Shake/tap out the dust cup 5 over a suitable waste bin.
– If required, clean the dust cup with a moist cloth.
If required, clean the filter assembly (see "Cleaning the Fil-
ter Assembly", page 12).
– Reinsert the filter assembly 12 into the dust cup 5.
Afterwards, hang the dust cup at the bottom into the motor
housing, apply light pressure until the dust cup can be
heard to engage.
Cleaning the Filter Assembly (see figures D1–D3)
– Press release button 1 and remove the dust cup 5 from the
motor housing 4.
Remove the filter assembly 12 from the dust cup.
– Remove the filter cover 13 from the filter seal 14.
Remove the filter 15 from the filter cover 13.
– Brush down the flaps of the filter with a soft brush.
– Assembly is carried out in reverse order.
Storage
– Put the vacuum cleaner accessories in the provided holder
8 on the vacuum cleaner.
Malfunctions
In the case of insufficient vacuuming performance, check the
following:
– Is the dust cup 5 full?
▷ See "Cleaning the Dust Cup", page 12.
– Is the filter 15 clogged with dust?
▷ See "Cleaning the Filter Assembly", page 12.
– Is the capacity of the battery pack too low?
▷ See "Battery Charging", page 11.
Regular emptying of the dust cup 5 and cleaning of the filter
assembly 12 ensures optimal vacuum capacity.
If the vacuuming performance is not achieved thereafter, take
the vacuum cleaner to customer service.
