Central Filter (Fig. 1)

Part no. AMC8F0391100

The central filter (foam filter) is installed in the dust bag compartment to protect the motor from dirt.

When it becomes dirty, simply rinse it out in warm water and dry it thoroughly before replacing.

To remove the central filter, hold the filter at the top (as illustrated) and pull it out.

Important: Ensure that the filter is completely dry before re-installing it into the cleaner.

Clean Air Filter (Fig. 2)

Part no. AMC8F28G1000

The clean air filter (electrostatic), is installed in the dust cover. This filter retains any small dust particles which may be present in the expelled air.

It is advisable to change the clean air filter when it becomes dirty. As a guide, once or twice a year is usually sufficient.

To change the clean air filter, first remove the dust cover and then slide out the filter support and simply unhook the filter from the retaining ribs.

NOTE: Never use the cleaner without the correct filters properly installed. Failure to do so may result in motor damaged.

IMPORTANT: Do not forget to re-install the filters before using the vacuum cleaner.

Motor fails to rotate (no noise is heard at all).	Mains plug connection.Mains plug fuse.	Mains plug connected firmly and mains outlet is on.Check fuse and replace if blown.
Motor runs but no suction.	Hose inlet clogged.Check dust indicator.Paper bag broken.Central filter.	If there is a blockage, remove it.If shows full, replace the paper bag.If paper bag is broken replace it.If the central filter is full of dust, clean or replace it.
Rotary brush does not rotate.	Clogged by a large object in the rotary brush housing.Belt broken / loose.	If there is any obstruction, remove it.If the belt is broken , replace it. If loose re-install it again.

This vacuum cleaner is attached with a thermal-fuse device, that will operate when over heating occurs. If your cleaner does not work, it is possible that the over heating device has operated. If this occurs, take the vacuum cleaner to an official Panasonic Service Centre to be repaired.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before servicing any part always, DISCONNECT THE CLEANER FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

BLOCKAGES

If your cleaner stops to pick up dust, or the dust bag check indicator shows "Full" while the dust bag is still empty, a blockage may have occurred.

Remove the hose from the suction inlet, push the small clips inwards, turn the hose right and pull it upwards (Fig. 1). Clean any obstruction from the hose and/or suction inlet using a blunt implement, taking care not to damage the hose.

If the obstruction occurs in the suction pipe inlet, it can be removed with care as shown in Fig. 2.
