Limpieza de filtros

Regularly clean the pre-motor and post-motor (HEPA) filters to maintain optimal suction. Rinse filters with water only and allow them to air dry completely before reinstalling. Refer to the full instruction manual for specific cleaning schedules.

The Anti-Allergen Complete Seal system, combined with the HEPA filter, traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum.

Cepillo giratorio autolimpiante

The self-cleaning brushroll is designed to prevent hair wrap, making it ideal for homes with pets. Periodically check the brushroll for any debris that may have accumulated and remove it if necessary.

Solución de problemas

If your vacuum is not performing as expected, consult the following common issues before contacting customer support:

• Sin energía: Asegúrese de que el cable de alimentación esté bien enchufado a una toma de corriente que funcione. Compruebe el disyuntor.
• Succión reducida: Empty the dust cup. Clean all filters (pre-motor and HEPA). Check for blockages in the hose, nozzle, or attachments.
• El cepillo giratorio no gira: Ensure the vacuum is upright and the power is on. Check for obstructions in the brushroll area. Ensure the correct floor setting is selected.
• Vacuum Turns Off: Es posible que la aspiradora se haya sobrecalentado. Apáguela, desenchúfela y déjela enfriar durante al menos 45 minutos. Elimine cualquier obstrucción y limpie los filtros antes de volver a encenderla.
