becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is
obtained.

FITTING/CHANGING THE FILTERS
Filters are essential to ensure that dust or
foreign matter does not enter the motor
compartment which would reduce motor
efficiency and eventually cause serious
damage.
HEPA FILTER FOR DRY CLEANING

safety flotation valve housing, as
shown.
2. Line up the 3 tabs on the filter with the 3 grooves in the motor unit and turn the
filter clockwise to lock in place.
SPONGE FILTER FOR WET CLEANING
1. Place the sponge filter over the safety
flotation valve housing, making sure it
covers the whole housing, as shown.
4. Make sure that the motor housing is
seated on top of the tank and the clips
are locked in place.

NOTE: The cleaner should be
positioned on a firm, level
surface, specially when using for

can be recognised by a change
in the noise of the motor. Once this happens, switch off the cleaner and
empty the tank of all liquid.
