Guarantee and service procedure

If you suspect a fault, first of all carry out the following simple checks: 1 Check the filters - be certain that they have not

been blocked by fine dust. Dirty filters can

damage your cleaner and are not covered by the

guarantee. 2 Check that the plug is firmly in the socket and

the supply is switched on. 3 Make sure that the socket is working by trying

another appliance. 4 If the socket is working but the motor is still not

running, check or replace any fuses and check

that all plug connections are sound.

Note the serial number of your cleaner and retain your receipt should it be required as proof of purchase.

However, should your vacuum cleaner become defective during the guarantee period, please return it to your nearest Authorised Service Agent, a list of which is supplied with your product.

The defective part will be repaired or, at our option, replaced free of charge for labour and materials provided that:

• the cleaner has been operated on an electricity

supply which matches that shown on the rating

plate.

• the cleaner is accompanied by proof of purchase.

• only Genuine Goblin parts have been used and

have been fitted correctly.

• the cleaner has not been used for commercial

applications.

Assembly

To fit the hose to the cleaner, insert the hose end into the hose inlet ‹ until it clips securely into position.

Attach the extension tubes to the handle end of the hose. The hose handle features a regulator which allows the suction to be reduced as required.

Attaching the accessories

Fit the floor nozzle onto the end of the extension tube. The hard floor attachment (certain models) can be attached to the floor nozzle, to facilitate vacuuming hard floors.

Other accessories are stored in the back of the cleaner and include:

• upholstery nozzle for stairs, furniture;

• crevice tool for awkward places, behind

radiators etc.

Automatic cable rewind (certain models)

Reel out the cable fully. After use, unplug and press the foot pedal ﬂ, holding the plug until fully rewound.

On/off

The on/off control is operated by the foot pedal ‡.

Electronic suction regulator (certain models)

This is a rotating knob · which allows the suction power of the cleaner to be set at the precise level required. For example:

• turn fully clockwise for maximum suction

for carpets, hard floors etc.

• turn anti-clockwise for reduced suction

for upholstery and curtains.

Stair Lock (certain models)

This unique device (patent applied for) assists with stair cleaning. The special bracket ‚, found underneath, is lifted out as shown B and locked onto the stairs. In addition, the rear wheels are locked in position as further security. After use, simply push firmly back into position.

Please note

When cleaning on stairs, for convenience and safety, work from the bottom to the top with the upholstery nozzle or crevice tool connected directly onto the hose handle. It is recommended that the extension tubes are not used.

Using your Goblin vacuum cleaner

Replacing/emptying the dustbag

To obtain the best results from your cleaner be sure to change the dustbag when necessary, otherwise the airflow and cleaning power will be reduced.

When the dustbag condition indicator › shows fully red and performance deteriorates, first check if there are any blockages in the accessories or tubes. If these are clear, it is necessary to replace/empty the dustbag.

We recommend that the bag is washed in warm

water every six months or sooner if it becomes

particularly dirty. Allow to dry naturally as direct

heat may effect the material.

Important Ensure the dustbag is totally dry

before installing it back into your vacuum

cleaner.

Cleaning and replacing the filters

Storage

Care and maintenance

ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE MAINS BEFORE WORKING ON OR CLEANING YOUR CLEANER.

Your cleaner is manufactured to withstand normal day-to-day use, but an occasional wipe over

with a damp cloth will help maintain its good looks.

Abrasive cleaners should not be used.
