Vacuum smells musty or emits an unpleasant odor from the exhaust air.

Safety first: Remove the battery before cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals on filters unless specified by Cecotec.

• Step 1 – Empty and wash bin: Empty the dust bin and, if allowed, wash it with mild soap and water. Dry completely.
• Step 2 – Clean or replace filters: Wash washable filters with water and let them dry 24 hours. Replace non-washable filters if they smell bad.
• Step 3 – Avoid wet pickup: Do not vacuum liquids or very damp debris with a Cecotec cordless vacuum unless explicitly designed for it.

Persistent odor after thorough cleaning may require replacing the filter set.
