Crevice and brush tool accessories

The crevice tool is ideal for vacuuming hard to reach places such as the edges along skirting boards.

The brush tool can be used to vacuum delicate surfaces and areas such as shelves and venetian blinds.

For models with Variable Power Control, set between Minimum and Medium power when using the tool accessories.

For models without Variable Power Control, slide the Fingertip Suction Control cover (located on the hose handle) to the open position.

urn off the vacuum when changing an

attachments.

Using the Park Tool feature

The vacuum features a 2-way park tool feature, which allows you to easily store the wands with the floor tool directly on the vacuum body.This is ideal when storing the vacuum or if you need to temporarily ‘park’ the vacuum while you are cleaning.

To park the vacuum in the upright (storage) position

The park tool attachment hook, for upright storage is located on the lower wand.

With the vacuum switched off and unplugged from the power point, place the vacuum on its end (in an upright position), insert the park tool hook into the park tool receptacle on the underside of the vacuum body (located to the upper right of the front wheel).

Note:The floor tool should be attached and in contact with the floor to give stability, if correctly assembled.

To park the vacuum in the horizontal position

The park tool attachment hook, to park the vacuum in the horizontal position, is located on the floor tool head (on the wand connection point).

With the vacuum on the floor in a horizontal position, hold the floor tool head facing outwards and insert the park tool hook into the park tool r

eceptacle located at the rear of the unit.

Replacing dustbag and filters

Dust bag indicator and changing the dust bag

The dust bag should be changed when full. The dust bag indicator window will gradually turn red as the bag fills up and when the dust bag indicator displays ‘red’ it is time to change the dust bag.

Always switch appliance to off, then switch off at the power outlet, then unplug the appliance prior to replacing dust bags or filters.

To remove the dust bag, have the unit down on its wheels, remove the crush proof hose and then lift the ‘Dust bag compartment lid release lever’ and pull the top cover back

(Fig. 1/2-A)

To remove the bag, grasp the top of dust bag and pull out (Fig. 2-B), and dispose in a rubbish bin.

To place a new dust bag, take a fresh dust bag and with the arrow (printed on the cardboard section of the dust bag) pointing down, slide the cardboard down into the dust bag holder, until it comes in contact with the bottom of the holder.

HINT: once the bag is inserted ‘puff-out’ the bag as

much as possible to ensure the full capacity of the

bag can be taken up. When vacuuming fine dust

particles, the fine dust particles can clog the pores

of the dust bag and the dust bag indicator will

indicate full. If this happens the bag could appear

relatively empty, however the bag will still need to

be changed to avoid strain on the motor.

NOTE:The bag compartment lid may not close if the bag is not correctly fitted.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THE UNIT WITH OUT A DUST BAG IN PLACE

Replacing filters

Filters must be cleaned from time to time to remove the fine dust particles that have been collected.This can be done by shaking them, however after approximately 5 dustbag changes the filters should be replaced.

Motor protection filter

The motor protection filter must always be in place when operating the vacuum otherwise damage to the motor may occur.To replace the motor protection filter - Remove the dustbag or pull the bag forward.The motor protection filter is located at the rear, right hand side of this
