Care and maintenance

Looking after your appliance

Ensure that the dust container is emptied and the air filters are washed regularly.

1. Wipe the outside of the vacuum cleaner and accessories with a damp (not wet) cloth and then wipe dry. Do not use detergents, solvents or abrasives as these may scratch or damage the surface.
2. Never immerse the vacuum cleaner, cable or plug in water.
3. When not in use, store in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting section of these instructions

Care and maintenance

Looking after your appliance

1. Position the dust container over a refuse bin, then press the lever at the rear of the container to open the base (fig. 6) and empty the container. Gently tap the container against the side of the bin to remove any stubborn dust.
2. The inside of the dust container maybe wiped clean with a damp cloth. Dry with a soft dry cloth before closing the flap and refitting the container to the cleaner. A click will be heard when it is correctly engaged.

Cleaning the filters

1. The frequency that the filters should be cleaned will depend on appliance usage. For maximum efficiency the filter at the top of the dust container should be cleaned every time the dust container is emptied and the exhaust filter every two months. Switch off and disconnect from the mains supply.
2. Remove the dust container from cleaner (fig. 5) and empty the dust container (fig.6).
3. To clean the dust container filter, flip open the lid of the dust container using the catch at the front of the dust container and lift out the filter on the underside of the lid (fig. 7).
4. Tap the filter against a dustbin to remove most of the dust and then wash the filter in cold running water until the water runs clear. Allow to air dry fully. Using a damp or wet filter will reduce the suction and damage the motor.
