• Filters

It is important that the filter is cleaned regularly to allow air through
the appliance. Shake to remove dust, the filter can also be washed
in warm water and left to air dry.

IMPORTANT - Ensure filter is totally dry before refitting into
machine.

• Blockages

Check the hose, handle and tools for blockages.

• Overheating protection

The cleaner automatically cuts off in the event of overheating
caused by blocked hoses / filters. Remove plug, clear blockage
and allow 15 minutes for the cleaner to automatically reset.

front of this leaflet.

• The appliance must never be left running
when unsupervised.

• This vacuum cleaner is intended for

• Always disconnect the appliance from
the mains supply after use or prior to

Product safety

• Never use the appliance without the

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

•Never modify the cleaner in any way.

Electrical requirements

Check that the voltage on the rating

plate corresponds with your house
electricity which must be A.C. (alternating
current).

If the socket outlets in your home are not

suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance the plug should be removed and
the appropriate one fitted.

If you cut off the plug and let go of the

cable it will rewind into the machine.
Therefore you must pull out a length of
cable and secure it before cutting off the
plug and refitting a new one.

IMPORTANT: The plug removed from

the mains lead, if severed, must be
destroyed as a plug with a bared flexible
cord is hazardous if engaged into a live
socket outlet.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug

require changing a 13 amp BS1362 fuse
must be fitted.
