WARNING: The bag door will NOT close if the dust bag and/or the bag holder are not assembled to the cleaner. Always ensure the bag and bag holder are present when closing the bag door.

REMEMBER: The bag check indicator may also be red if an obstruction has occurred. In this case, refer to 'Removing a blockage from the system'.

1. Lift the bag door release latch [11] to open the bag door and remove the bag. [12]
2. To remove the pre-motor filter, slide the pre-motor filter frame from the cleaner. [14]

2. Wash the filter in hand warm water [18] and allow it to dry thoroughly before replacing it in the cleaner. [19]

REMEMBER: Do not use hot water or detergents. In the unlikely event of the filters becoming damaged, fit a genuine Hoover replacement. Do not try and use the product without a dust bag or filter fitted.

Cleaning the permanent cloth dust bag*:

To maintain optimum performance we recommend that you wash the permanent cloth dust bag under hand warm water after every 5 full bags. Remove excess water and leave to dry fully before replacing.

Removing a Blockage From The System

If the bag check indicator is red:

1. Check if the bag is full. If so, refer to 'Replacing the dust bag'.
2. If it is not full, then:

A. Do the filters need cleaning? If so, refer to 'Cleaning the filter'.

B. Check if there is any other blockage in the system - Use a rod or a pole to remove any blockage from the telescopic tube or flexible hose.

WARNING: The bag check indicator will turn red if the cleaner is used when the bag is full, if there is a blockage, or if the filters are dirty. If the cleaner is used for a significant period of time with the bag check indicator red, a thermal cut out will switch the cleaner off to prevent any risk of overheating. The bag check indicator turns green once the cleaner has switched off to signal that the thermal cut out has been activated. If this should happen, switch the cleaner off, unplug, and correct the fault. It will take about 30 minutes for the cut out to automatically reset.
