Frequently Asked Questions - TXP30PET Tower

How do I empty the dustbin?

Press the dustbin release button and lift out the bin. Hold over a trash can and press the bottom release to empty. Rinse the bin with water if needed and let it dry completely before reattaching.

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the filter every 3 months or when suction seems low. Rinse with water and air dry for 24 hours before reinstalling. Do not use detergent.

Why is my vacuum losing suction?

Check if the dustbin is full, the filter is clogged, or the brush roll is tangled. Also inspect the hose for blockages. Empty the bin, clean the filter, and remove any debris from the brush roll.

Can I use this vacuum on hardwood floors?

Yes, the TXP30PET has adjustable height settings. Switch to the 'hard floor' setting to avoid scratching. The brush roll can be turned off for bare floors.

How do I replace the brush roll?

Unplug the vacuum. Turn it over and remove the brush roll cover with a screwdriver. Slide out the old brush roll, remove any tangled hair, and install the new one. Secure the cover and reassemble.

What does the warranty cover?

The 2-year limited warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear items like filters and brush rolls are not covered. Contact Tower customer support for claims.

How do I clean the hose?

Detach the hose from the vacuum and straighten it. Use a long stick or a plumbing snake to push out any clogs. Rinse with water if needed and hang to dry before reconnecting.

Why does the vacuum turn off during use?

The vacuum has a thermal overload protection that shuts it off if it overheats. This can happen if the filter is clogged or the dustbin is full. Let it cool for 30 minutes, clean the filter and bin, then restart.

Where can I purchase replacement parts?

Replacement filters, belts, and brush rolls are available on the Tower website or from authorized retailers. Use the model number TXP30PET to ensure compatibility.

How do I attach the crevice tool?

The crevice tool can be attached directly to the end of the hose or to the wand. Push it firmly until it clicks. To store, clip it onto the side of the vacuum body.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue neutral [N] Brown live [L]

Plug Fitting Details (Where Applicable).

The wire coloured blue is the neutral and must be connected to the terminal marked [N] or coloured black. The wire coloured brown is the live wire and must be connected to the terminal marked [L] or coloured red. On no account must either the brown or the blue wire be connected to the [EARTH] terminal

Always ensure that the cord grip is fastened correctly.
