Getting the best from your new cleaner...

If your cleaner is not picking up as well as it should, please check

Filters

It is important that the pleated filter is clicked clean each time the dust canister is emptied to maintain suction. Regularly remove and wash the pleated filter, thoroughly dry before re-fitting. The spare filter allows one filter to be washed whilst the other is in use. (See page 5).

Blockages

Check nozzles, tubes and hose and dust canister connector for blockages. (See page 7).

Safety cut-out

Both the suction and beater bar motors are protected by safety cut-outs. See page 7 for more details. If these operate it is important to unplug from the main supply before attempting any remedial action.

Allergy Sufferers

If the allergy suffer is emptying the product it is recommended that the container is placed into a plastic bag to empty. Place the container inside the plastic bag, releasing the container with one hand whilst holding the top of the bag closed with the other, leave the dust to settle for a few seconds before removing the canister. The plastic bag can then be sealed and disposed of.
