Filters

It is important that the pleated filter is clicked clean each time

the dust canister is emptied to maintain suction. Regularly

remove and wash the pleated filter, thoroughly dry before

re-fitting. The spare filter allows one filter to be washed whilst

the other is in use. (See page 5).

Blockages

Check nozzles, tubes and hose and dust canister connector

for blockages. (See page 7).

Safety cut-out

Both the suction and beater bar motors are protected by

safety cut-outs. See page 7 for more details. If these

operate it is important to unplug from the main supply

before attempting any remedial action.

HINTS AND TIPS

Safety cut-out

(Suction motor)

If the cleaner overheats a motor

protection thermostat will

automatically switch the motor

off. If this happens, switch the

cleaner off, unplug from the

power supply and leave the

cleaner to cool for at least 60

minutes. Check the airways for

blockages, empty dust canister

and clean the filters before

restarting.

Safety cut out

(beater bar motor)

If a large item or rug edge etc

jams the beater bar a safety

cut-out will stop the beater bar

motor. If this happens switch off

the cleaner and unplug from the

mains supply. Clear the

obstruction then wait a few

minutes for the cut-out to reset

before restarting.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Unplug from the mains before

cleaning. The vacuum cleaner,

especially the dust

compartment and all

accessories can be cleaned

using a damp cloth or a non-

abrasive cleaner and wiped dry.

Blockages

deteriorated there may be a

blockage. Check the hose tube

and nozzles. The dust canister

connector may be removed for

access to the air path by

pressing the button (top and
