General Do’s and Dont’s
Do NOT attach or remove accessories when the vacuum cleaner •
is switched on.
Do NOT pull the cleaner around the room by the hose. •
Do NOT over extend the hose. Trying to reach beyond the hose •
length could cause an accident.
Be especially careful on stairs.•
Do NOT pull or carry the cleaner by the cord, close a door on the •
cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not over
extend the cord. Switch the cleaner o and move it to a closer
power point. Use just enough cord to do the job.
Use the carry handle to lift or move the cleaner.•
If you are moving the cleaner a long way or up a ight of stairs, •
switch o, rewind the power cord and park the accessories.
NEVER operate the cleaner with damaged lters or with a lter •
missing. Use approved lters and regularly clean and replace them.
Clearing a Blockage
If the cleaner loses suction this may be due to clogged lters or a
blockage. DO NOT operate the cleaner if the suction is impaired.
If you suspect a blockage:
Set the cleaner upright, switch o and unplug immediately. Empty the
dust, check all the lters and clean them.
If this does not remove the blockage:
Check the extension tubes and accessories visually and remove any
blockage with a stick or broom handle.
When you have nished vacuuming:
Switch o and unplug the appliance.•
Rewind the power cord. •
Disconnect the accessories and store the cleaner in the vertical •
position or place the cleaner normally with the accessories in the
parked position. (See Cleaning and Storage)
Removing the Dust
The Dust bag should be emptied at regular
intervals to prevent clogging, with a loss of
suction power and poor cleaning. When the
‘Dust Bag Full’ indicator goes red the dust
bag must be emptied to avoid damage to the
cleaner
Lift the top cover up
Carefully lift the bag from the cradle and discard it.
Place a new bag in the cradle making sure that the top ts securely
behind all the tabs.
Close the lid.
Cleaning and Replacing the Filters
Clean the two lters often. Failure to clean the lters regularly will
reduce the cleaner eciency and may shorten its lifespan.
The Motor Filter
The lter is in at the rear of the cleaner.
Remove the cover and then remove the lter.
The Inlet Filter is in a cage at the rear of the inside compartment. It is
held on by a clip behind the cage.. Open the lid, hold the cage at both
sides and pull the lter out.
Brush the inlet and outlet cavities out. This will help keep the internal
airways clean and maintain cleaner performance.
