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 tools can be used to vacuum delicate surfaces and areas such as shelves and venetian blinds.

Motor Driven Powerhead

The Jaguar Soarer Vacuum Cleaner features a floor tool which is powered by a dedicated motor giving additional power and brush bar speed for picking up dust, hair and dirt.

Always switch the vacuum off then switch off at the power outlet and inplug the vacuum prior to connecting the powerhead.

To connect the Powerhead, simply remove the multi-terrain floor tool by pulling it off the wand. Connect the Powerhead floor tool to the narrow end of the wand and push together firmly. Insert the Powerhead cord into the marked ‘Powerhead’ inlet connection point on top of the vacuum cleaner, near the carry handle.

Fix the powerhead cord to the hose and the wand with the clips supplied.

WARNING: Do not operate the powerhead with the wand in the vertical (parking) position as this will cause damage to the unit.

IMPORTANT: ENSURE THE VACUUM CLEANER IS TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER OUTLET PRIOR TO CLEANING OR MAINTAINING THE POWERHEAD.

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

To remove the dust bag, ensure the unit is down on its wheels, remove the crush proof hose and push the ‘Dust bag compartment lid release lever’ underneath the handle. Once the lid has released, pull the top cover back.

To remove the bag, grasp the top of dust bag and pull out, and dispose in a rubbish bin.

To place a new dust bag, take a fresh dust bag and with the arrow (printed on the material section of the dust bag) pointing down slide the material 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.

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 WITHOUT 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 inner chamber. Pull the filter upward to remove and push downwards to insert.

The HEPA filter must be replaced after multiple use. Lift the lid of the filter housing and lift the filter in an upward position.To replace the filter, place in a descending position lowering the filter until it is firmly in place.

Care and Maintenance

Always switch appliance off, then switch off at the power outlet and then unplug the appliance prior cleaning or replacing either filter.

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

Check and replace both the motor protection and HEPA dust filters on a regular basis.

From time to time hair, cotton and other items may get caught in the brushes of the floor head.To remove such items, take a pair of scissors and cut across the cotton, hair, etc to loosen, then gently pull to remove.

NOTE: Do not continue to pull if the item/s does not easily come out as this may permanently damage the floor tools.
