USING YOUR VACUUM CLEANER
Using your Vacuum Cleaner
Suction Control
A thumb operated suction control
is located on the hose handle. This
allows you to reduce or increase
the amount of suction to suit the
vacuuming task.
Maximum suction gives the best
results during normal vacuuming,
however, reduced suction may
be more appropriate if you are
vacuuming fabrics or upholstery.
Switching On
Pull the power cable to the desired
length. When you are nearing the
maximum, a yellow marker will be
visible on the cable. A red marker
indicates that you have reached the
maximum cable length.
Insert the mains plug into the mains
socket and switch the socket on.

opposite. Take care not to breath
the dust.
Close the dust canister and
•
install it in the vacuum cleaner.

you hear a click.
Removing Blockages
If the suction of the vacuum cleaner seems to be reduced, check
that the dust canister is empty. If it is then there is probably a
blockage in one of the hoses, or the base. The filters may also need
cleaning.
WARNING
!
Always make sure that your vacuum cleaner is
unplugged before emptying the dust canister or
checking for blockages.
20
www.dirtdevil.co.uk
If the suction still seems to be
lower than expected after the dust
canister has been emptied, there
may be a blockage in one of the
tubes or attachments. Disconnect
from the mains supply and rewind
the cable and check the following
areas for blockages:
The hose inlet socket
•
The joint where the flexible hose
•
connects to the attachments
The inlet to the floor brush
•
Page 21
EMPTYING THE DUST CANISTER
If you cannot see the blockage, it may be in one of the kneejoints situated at the end of the plastic hose. To undo these joints,
remove the storage part of the handle, then use a flat-bladed
screwdriver (or similar tool) to carefully press in the release lugs
and pull the joint apart. Remove any blockage, then push the joint
together again until the lugs latch into place.
Cleaning the Intense Turbo Brush
If used to clean large quantities of loose material or long hair the
impeller and brush can become blocked.
Ensure the intense turbo brush has been disconnected from the
•
vacuum cleaner.
Slide the cover release catch forward and open the cover.
•
Remove any blockages from inside the intense turbo brush.
•
Close the cover and slide the catch back to lock the cover

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
Depending on usage, you will need to periodically clean the dust
canister and filters.
CAUTION
!
Filter Cleaning/Replacement
Your vacuum cleaner is fitted with filters which trap particles
of dust. We recommend that the filters in the dust canister are
cleaned each time the dust canister is emptied.
When you start using a high filtration system you will find that
you need to clean the filters more frequently as you will be
removing finer particles than your previous cleaning system
could remove.
Your vacuum cleaner is supplied with a spare set of filters. Swap
to the spare set of filters when the used filters need washing.
Additional spare parts (including filters) are available from Spares
on 0870 873 0094.
The dust canister and filters must be fitted before the
cleaner is used, to avoid damaging the motor.
22
www.dirtdevil.co.uk
2 Stage HEPA high grade Filter
The high grade HEPA filter and foam filter in the dust canister
should be replaced after 6 washes as the filtration efficiency will
start to reduce after repeated washing.
To wash the filters, remove the dust canister.
•
Remove the filter and the foam filter from the dust canister and
•
tap them over a waste bin to remove loose dust particles.
Wash them in cold water (without soap or detergent) and rinse
•
thoroughly under running water to remove all fine particles.
Allow the filters to dry naturally. DO NOT force dry.
•

MAINTENANCE
Use the spare set of filters provided when you are washing the

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting
Thermal Cut Out
Your vacuum cleaner is fitted with a thermal cut out that protects
the vacuum cleaner if the motor overheats due to a blockage or
clogged filters. If the vacuum cleaner exhaust gets hot and the
product stops suddenly of its own accord, follow this procedure:
Switch off the vacuum cleaner and unplug from the mains
1.
supply.
Check for the source of the overheating problem (blocked
2.
hose, clogged filter, etc.).
Swap to the spare filters and wash the current set of filters
3.
taking care to remove fine dust.
Wait for approximately 40 minutes to allow the motor to cool
4.
and automatically release the safety mechanism.
After 40 minutes, plug in the vacuum cleaner and switch it on
5.
- it should now work.
If the problem persists, check the fuse in the mains plug
6.
taking the necessary safety precautions described on pages 7
and 8.
If the vacuum cleaner still does not work, unplug it, wait
7.
another 20 minutes and try again to see if the safety
mechanism is just taking longer to release.
If your vacuum cleaner is still not functioning correctly,
8.
contact the Troubleshooting Helpline on 0870 873 0081.
