Cleaning the permanent cloth dust bag\* (certain models only)

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 telescopic tube or flexible hose.

WARNING*: - The bag check indicator will remain red if the cleaner is used when the bag is full, if there is a blockage or if the filters are dirty. If used for a period over ten minutes with the bag check indicator red, an electronic cut out will switch the cleaner off to prevent any risk of overheating. If this should happen, switch the cleaner off, unplug and correct the fault (see 'Removing a blockage'). The cut out will automatically reset upon switching the cleaner back on.
