3. SELF-CLEANING FUNCTION
Top models have a self-cleaning system with filter that can operate at intervals programmable according
to requirements. Maintenance is therefore limited to the replacement of the collection bag.
In the USER MENU of the interface there is this submenu:
SELF-CLEANING
only if the self-cleaning function has been activated on the machine. This submenu indicates the motor
operation time after which the filter is automatically cleaned.
This function overrides manual filter cleaning, meaning that it will not be necessary to clean the filter
manually, and no indication for manual filter cleaning will be given.
The time of use of the system between one indication of self-cleaning and the next can be varied
between 30 and 240 minutes. The preset time is 90 minutes.
TIME XXX MINUTES
SELF-CLEANING
Operation of the device is triggered by a mini-compressor that feed a pressure air tank of one liter
capacity until a pressure value of 5 bar is reached. At this point an instantaneous air jet is channelled
inside the filter through a nozzle. This allows the filter to be kept clean for a longer period.
NB: During the self-cleaning cycle do not open the dust collector container and after the end of the cycle
wait at least a minute before opening it
Make annual inspections on the filter to ensure that it is undamaged and to check if it needs
washing (if washed, the filter must be dry before being replaced).

5. SAFETY COMPONENTS
5.1 Protection fuse
All main vacuum units are protected by a fuse that interrupts the power supply to the motor in case of
malfunctions or electrical problems.
EN
To replace the fuse, unscrew the fuse-holder located above the power supply cable (see diagram on page
4 – item 25).
NB: the fuse replacement is an operation that only a service centre can perform. The service centre will
replace it with a short-burn fuse. Consult the chart in section 1.3 for technical characteristics.
5.2 Cut-out breaker against overheating
All main vacuum units are fitted with a thermal cut-out breaker that stops the motor in case of
overheating.
In case of unit stop due to thermal cut-out breaker, allow the motor to cool down to normal operating
temperature (about 25-30 minutes). Then trace the cause of overheating (e.g. clogged filter, full dust
container, partial obstruction of a brush or flexible hose, etc).
CAUTION: The main vacuum unit can suffer damages if restarted without
having removed or eliminated the cause for overheating.
The motor unit that drives the turbine and all other electrical components must
be opened only by a specialized technician or by an authorized service centre.
