To Operate the Vacuum Cleaner

Locate the crush proof hose and push the connection point into the hose inlet connection on the front side of the vacuum, until a “click” sound is heard.

Connect the wide end of the metal wand to the hose end, and push together ﬁrmly.

Fit the ﬂoor tool to the narrow end of the wand and push together ﬁrmly.

Fully extend the power cord by pulling the power plug out from the rear of the vacuum, until the yellow tape on the cord is showing.

NOTE: Ensure that you do not over extend the power cord – do not extend past the red warning tape on the cord.

Plug into a 230V or 240V power point and switch the power on at the power point.

To commence vacuuming, push down on the on/off button

down

on the

top of the vacuum cleaner. When vacuuming is complete, push

down on the ‘on/off’ button to switch off. Turn the power off at the outlet and then remove the power cord from the power outlet. When removing the plug from the power outlet, grasp the plug not the cord.

To retract the cord push down on the ‘cord rewind’ button

Check all ﬁlters and replace them regularly. It is recommended to clean the ﬁlters after every use. For normal household vacuuming the ﬁlters should be replaced at least twice a year.

If you encounter reduced vacuum cleaner performance, check:

• Dust capacity in dust container

• All ﬁlters, including dust, motor and exhaust. Any clogging in the ﬁlters will reduce the efﬁciency of your vacuum cleaner

To clean the outside of the unit, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner.

Emptying the Dust Container

Always switch the vacuum off, then switch off at the power outlet and unplug prior to replacing ﬁlters or emptying the dust container.

For optimum use, the dust container should be emptied after every use. When the dust container reaches the capacity mark ‘MAX’, it is essential to thoroughly clean both the dust container and ﬁlters.

To remove the dust container, ensure the vacuum is down on its wheels; remove the dust container by pressing down on the button on top of the dust container. Once released carefully lift the container upwards.

Care and Maintenance

Fig. 9

To empty the dust container simply place it over the rubbish bin, ensuring the opening of the bin is larger than the dust container. Press the “PUSH” button located beneath the hose inlet connection on the front of the dust container. The bottom of the container will release and the dust and compiled dirt will be dispensed.

Fig. 10

NOTE: Dependant upon

the amount and type of dirt collected in the dust container, it may be necessary to agitate the dirt inside the dust container for easier dispensing.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the unit without a dust container in place.

Page 12

Cleaning and Replacing Filters

To assist you with the regular care of your vacuum, a second HEPA ﬁlter is supplied for convenient use, ideal for when a dirty ﬁlter is being cleaned.

Dirty and clogged ﬁlters may result in reduced suction performance. It is recommended that ﬁlters are cleaned after every use and replaced regularly to ensure maximum efﬁciency from your vacuum.

If ﬁlters are left uncleaned, it may result in a reduction of suction power. Should this occur, the following procedure should be followed every couple of months.

Procedure to Replace Filters

Always switch the vacuum off, then switch off at the power outlet and unplug prior to cleaning or replacing the ﬁlters. Before replacing the ﬁlters ensure all dirt and dust is ﬁrst emptied from the dust container. Refer to the ‘EMPTYING THE DUST CONTAINER’ section.

1. Remove the dust container from

the vacuum by pressing down on the button on top of the dust container. Once released, carefully lift the container upwards.

Your new vacuum cleaner includes a black foam ﬁlter casing which locks your foam ﬁlter to the front side of the HEPA ﬁlter. This is a reusable, removable part.

Fig. 11

2. To remove the HEPA ﬁlter from the back (ﬂat side) of the dust container, press the tab and pull out the HEPA ﬁlter, followed by the foam ﬁlter and black casing.

Fig. 12

When conducting your routine cleaning of the ﬁlters, it is necessary to remove the black foam casing to separate the foam and HEPA ﬁlters for cleaning.

Page 13

Fig. 13

3. Shake and tap the HEPA ﬁlter until all the ﬁne dust particles are removed. After approximately 6 months the HEPA ﬁlter should be replaced. This period is dependant upon the frequency of use and type of dirt being subjected to the vacuum.

The HEPA ﬁlter can also be hand washed in warm water.

NOTE: Do not use any detergents or boiling water to wash the ﬁlter, do not wash the ﬁlter in a dishwasher or washing machine.

It is advised to let the ﬁlter dry completely for at least a minimum of 24 hours before use.

NOTE: Do not dry in a tumble dryer, microwave, oven or near a naked ﬂame. The ﬁlter and ﬁlter case must be completely dry before replacing into the vacuum. Failure to allow the ﬁlter to completely dry may result in damage to the vacuum motor.

Care and Maintenance continued

NOTE: A second HEPA ﬁlter is

supplied for convenience, ideal for when a used ﬁlter is being cleaned.

Fig. 14

NOTE: When replacing the dust

container HEPA ﬁlter, all three components (HEPA ﬁlter, foam ﬁlter and plastic casing) need to be replaced.

4. To place the ﬁlter back in the dust

container, ensure that the ﬁlter is completely dry before use. Close the bottom of the container.

5. Simply place the foam ﬁlter into the black casing. When reassembling the ﬁlter casing, it is important to position the casing in its correct orientation against the foam ﬁlter. As demonstrated in Fig.12, the larger square compartments should be positioned at the same end as the locking tabs.

Then click the ﬁlter assembly into the back of the dust container.

Page 14

NOTE: If the Canister does not

easily ﬁt in position, the ﬁlter casing may be in the wrong orientation. Do not force the dust canister back into position.

NOTE: Dirty and clogged ﬁlters may result in reduced suction performance. It is recommended that ﬁlters are cleaned after every use and replaced regularly to ensure maximum efﬁciency from your vacuum. If ﬁlters are left uncleaned, it may result in reduction of suction power.

6. To remove and clean the

CaptivG3 cone from inside the dust container, ﬁrstly ensure the dust container has been emptied. Follow the ‘EMPTYING THE DUST CONTAINER’ instructions.

Press the ‘PUSH’ button located beneath the hose inlet connection on the front of the dust container. The bottom of the container will release. Grip the two pockets at the base of the cone with two ﬁngers, twist clockwise to ‘OPEN’ and pull to remove the cone.

Fig. 15

Fig. 16

Shake and tap the cone until all the ﬁne dust particles are removed. The cone can also be hand washed. Allow the cone to completely air dry before re-assembling.

To replace the cone into the dust container, grip the two pockets at the base of the cone with two ﬁngers, slide the cone into the allocated bracket inside the dust container and twist anti-clockwise to ‘CLOSE’ until resistance is felt.

Page 15

Fig. 15

7. Place the dust container back in the vacuum cleaner for next use.

Exhaust Filter

The exhaust ﬁlter should be cleaned after every use for maximum vacuuming performance. To clean, simply unclip the grill at the back of the vacuum cleaner and shake and tap the ﬁlter to remove any dust accumulated. Then relocate the ﬁlter and reattach the grill.
