Cleaning the machine
Use the brush attachment on the hose and use the Pod to vacuum itself. To keep the underside of the cleaning head clean, vacuum it at regular intervals using the crevice tool.
Or, disconnect the Pod from the mains supply and remove dust by using a soft damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use scourers or abrasive cleaners.
Floor nozzle access
If a blockage occurs in the floor nozzle air­path, the panel on the bottom of the floor nozzle may be removed. 1 First disconnect the cleaner from the mains
supply and remove the floor nozzle. Turn the
floor nozzle upside down. 2 Using a coin or similar turn the lock screw to
the unlock position. 3 Remove the panel and clear the blockage.
Ensure the panel is re-fitted and locked
before re-use.
Brush motor protection
If the rotating brush is stalled, the brush motor stops automatically. Switch off and unplug the cleaner before removing any article trapped in the brush. The brush motor protection will only reset after the power has been disconnected.
Purchasing replacement filters
The lifetime of the dust filter is dependant largely upon usage of the cleaner. Should the dust filter become damaged or if there is a noticeable drop in performance even after washing, it should be changed immediately. Use only Morphy Richards replacement filters which can be purchased from specialist retailers or by calling the number on the front page of this leaflet.
