At Kambrook we believe that the safe
performance of our products is the first
priority in any consumer product so that
you, our valued customer, can confidently
use and trust our products.

We ask that any electrical appliance that
you use be operated in a sensible fashion
with due care and attention placed on the
following important operating instructions:

Read all instructions thoroughly
before activating the appliance and
retain them for future reference.

Ensure that the power source to be used
is the same as the voltage requirements of
the product.

Always switch appliance to off, then switch
off at the power outlet, then unplug the
appliance when not in use and prior to
cleaning or replacing dust bags or filters.

Never use the vacuum without a dust bag
or motor protection filter installed.

Never use the vacuum to vacuum hot
ashes, broken glass, sharp objects or liquids.

Never use in the presence of explosive
liquids or vapours.

Never vacuum up inflammable or
poisonous liquids such as petrol, copier
toner or other volatile substances. Never

The installation of a residual current
device (safety switch) is recommended to
provide additional safety protection when
using electrical appliances. It is advisable
that a safety switch with a rated residual
operating current not exceeding 30mA be
installed in the electrical circuit supplying
the appliance. See your electrician for
professional advice.

Using Your Kambrook Jaguar

Remove all packaging from the unit, hose
and other accessories; ensure that you
have removed all of the accessories before
discarding the packaging.

Ensure that the dust bag and filters are
correctly fitted.

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

To retract the cord push down on the
‘cord rewind’ pedal.

IMPORTANT: HOLD THE PLUG
END WHEN RETRACTING THE
CORD TO PREVENT IT FROM
STRIKING YOU OR THE VACUUM.

ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE
DUST BAG AND THE MOTOR
PROTECTION FILTER ARE
CORRECTLY FITTED. NEVER
OPERATE WITHOUT THE DUST
BAG OR FILTERS IN PLACE.

to the hose end, and push together firmly.

the wand/s and push together firmly.

Fully extend the power cord by pulling
the power plug (situated at the rear of the
unit) out from the unit, until the
red/yellow tape on the cord is shown.

TAPE ON THE CORD

switch the power on.

To commence vacuuming push down on
the on/off foot pedal, at the top, rear of
the unit.

When vacuuming is complete, push down
on the ‘on/off’ pedal to switch off.Turn
the power off at the outlet and then
remove the power cord from the power
outlet (when removing plug fr
power outlet grasp the plug not the cor

om the

Variable Power Control

The variable power control slide switch is
located on the top of the vacuum cleaner.
Slide the control to the right for
maximum power for vacuuming hard floor
and carpet surfaces. Slide the control to
the left at the minimum power level when
using the crevice and brush tools.

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.

Set the variable temperature control
between minimum and medium power
when using the tool accessories.

finger inside the thumb groove and pull
the compartment lid upwards.

Turn off the vacuum cleaner when
changing any attachments.

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

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

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.

Filters must be cleaned from time to time
to remove the fine dust particles that have
been collected.This can be done by shaking

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.

The Turbo brush (KVC22 only) should be
cleaned regularly for optimum performance.
Without regular cleaning the turbo head
may block and restrict the rapid
movement of the bristles.To clean the
bristles, take a pair of scissors and cut
across the cotton, hair, etc to loosen, then
gently pull to remove.
