Maintenance Inspecting and cleaning the strainer The strainer at the bottom of the cleaning tank should be cleaned before every use of the system to maintain optimal system performance. Remove the strainer from the cleaning tank and rinse under water until the strainer is clean. Place the strainer back in the cleaning tank after cleaning. Cleaning The system should be cleaned once a month or sooner as needed. Clean the exterior and the interior of the cleaning tank with mild soap and water using a sponge or cloth only. Hard to remove residue can be cleaned with isopro- pyl alcohol. Never immerse the system or use a spray nozzle or hose to clean it.
Any liquid in the electronics area behind the back panel of the sys- tem may damage the system and void the warranty. Model bag The model bag should be replaced after 40 cycles. Replace the bag if the elastic cord starts to droop or the bag shows signs of wear. 17
