CAUTION FOR AC MAINS LEAD

FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience.

A 13 amp fuse is fitted in this plug.

Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has rating of 13 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.

D) DUST SENSOR

The dust sensor indicator warns you about cleaning conditions through GREEN / RED lamps. It works automatically, changing from GREEN to RED when dust is sucked through the suction inlet.

In some cases the sensor will not operate if there is not enough air flow.

Depending on the amount of dust present in the vacuumed air, the RED lights will illuminate in three positions, as indicated in the illustration.

The GREEN light is displayed when there is no longer any dust present in the vacuumed air.

NOTE: As normal function, sometimes the RED light could come on when the vacuum cleaner is switched ON or OFF.

GREEN light: Clean air One RED light: Minimal dust Two RED lights: Moderate dust Three RED lights: Very dusty

E) FOOT PEDAL BODY ADJUSTMENT / AUTOMATIC BEATER BAR ON / STOP

To lower the body of the cleaner, step on the foot release pedal on the bottom left corner of the vacuum cleaner. Once the body is reclined the rotary brush will automatically start to rotate.

If you wish to stop the rotary brush, simple return the cleaner into the upright position. In case you want to stop the rotary brush whilst the cleaner is in the reclined position, push the beater bar stop pedal located on the left side of the floor head, just above the foot release pedal.

I) DUST BAG CHECK INDICATOR

The dust bag check indicator is a visual aid to advise you of the condition of the dust bag.

The GREEN mark indicates that the dust bag is still empty.

The RED mark will appear when airflow through the bag is insufficient. When this happens, check the paper bag, it may be full or blocked with fine dust and needs to be replaced.

NOTE: If after having replaced the bag, the RED mark continues appearing in the window, check to see if the hose or suction inlet is clogged. (see BLOCKAGES).

When using the crevice nozzle the red mark may appear, this is due to air flow and not an indication the bag is full.

Green mark Red mark

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

HOW TO CHANGE THE DUST BAG

Panasonic Ponic Bag

1) Push the release button on the dust cover as shown, and pull it forward.

4) Replace the dust cover by inserting the protruding tab into the body slot then push the top of the cover into place.
NOTE: If the dust bag is fitted incorrectly or it is not installed, the dust cover will not close.

FILTER CARE

Central Filter (Fig. 1) Part no. AMC8F03M1000

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

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

Clean Air Filter (Fig. 2) Type F-2S

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, depending on use. To change the clean air filter, remove the dust cover and slide out the filter support, then take out the filter from the exhaust cover and replace it.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the tabs of the filter support are correctly fixed in the exhaust cover slots.

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

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 top suction inlet by pushing the two small clips inwards, turn the hose to the right and pull it outwards (Fig. 1). Clear any obstruction from the hose and/or top 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.
