Tip zum Reinigen


Weichen Pinsel zum "abpinseln" des Staubes vom Filter zuerst verwenden oder Schlammspritzer oder anderen Dreck vorher mit einer Lösung aus Wasser und Fensterreiniger 1/3 zu 2/3 einweichen und ohne reiben und kratzen entfernen.

Dann mit einem weichen, fusselfreiem Tuch vorsichtig abreiben.  Immer von Innen nach Außen arbeiten.

Von Zellstofftüchern ist abzuraten. Diese sind zu Hart und  haben schleifende Wirkung. Brillenputztücher sind auch bedenklich.

Da gibt es riesige Unterschiede zumal die Zutaten nicht bekannt sind und das Coating lösne können. Besser ein wirklich weiches Mikrofasertuch (wie z.B: Visible Dust, Magic Cleaner Tuch), selbst die Fleccejacke Innenseite machts zur Not.

Beim Reinigen vorher den Standort gut überlegen, am Besten im Sitzen reinigen, denn wenn der Filter mal fallen sollte, fällt er so in den Schoß und ist nicht gleich kaputt.
