CLEANING THE FILTERS
The sponge filter needs to be cleaned regularly; the frequency will depend entirely on
the environment it is used in. If you notice a lack of suction the filter should be removed
and thoroughly washed under a mains pressure tap. Always ensure the filter is completely
dry before refitting to the dust barrel.
Removing & Cleaning the Dust Barrel Filter
1. Remove the dust barrel as described above.
2. Open the top of the dust barrel by holding the dust barrel and turning the top of the
dust barrel anticlockwise approx 20mm till it unclips.
3. Lift off the top of the barrel and remove the foam filter and orange coloured filter
canister, taking note of how the parts are assembled.
4. Thoroughly wash the foam filter and orange coloured filter canister under a mains
pressure tap and allow to air dry for 24 hours.
5. Replace the parts back to the dust barrel making sure they are positioned correctly.
It is imperative that after the dust barrel has been disassembled, it is reassembled
correctly.
Make sure the tab at the top of the orange coloured filter canister is slotted into the
receptacle in the barrel and the sponge filter is the right way up (the word UP & an arrow
is moulded in the top of the plastic sponge filter housing).
Removing & Cleaning the Air Outlet Filter
1. Remove the air outlet grill located at the rear of the vacuum cleaner by pressing the
tab at the top of the grill and lift away.
2. Remove the air outlet filter for cleaning or changing.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
All filters should be checked regularly for signs of damage, preferably after each use.
The filters must be replaced immediately if they become damaged. Always disconnect
the vacuum from the electrical outlet when checking the filters.
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a plug and a cord, which rolls up automatically.
If any of these parts get damaged, it must be repaired by a qualified repairman or
electrician.
IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a protective thermostat. If for some reason the
vacuum cleaner should overheat, the thermostat will automatically turn the unit off.
Should this occur unplug the vacuum cleaner from the wall outlet and turn off switch.
Remover dust canister, empty contents and clean the filter. Allow the unit to cool for
approximately 1 hour. To restart, re-plug into wall outlet and turn switch back on.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR VACUUM CLEANER
1. Never unwind or rewind the cord while the vacuum cleaner is turned on or plugged
in, this may produce arcing of the terminals in the cord rewind mechanism and cause
an open circuit. Do not extend the cable beyond the red mark.
