It is important to clean it everytime you empty the pod, otherwise the performance of the cleaner will be impaired. The pod filters and pod are fully washable but must be fully dry before re-fitting (see page 5).

• Blockages

Check the nozzle, tube and hose for blockages. The panel on the bottom of the floor nozzle may be removed for access to the floor nozzle air-path.

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.

turns. This agitates the filter loosening the

dust.

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

Purchasing replacement filters

The lifetime of the dust filter is dependant largely upon usage of the cleaner.

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.
