through automatic locking.
Fig. 8
PROTECTIVE DEVICES OF MOTOR
1. There is a temperature controller designed in the body of the cleaner motor,
which can automatically cut off power supply to motor to prevent overheating.
When the air-inlet or air-outlet pipe is overloaded or blocked, the temperature of
motor rises, then the temperature controller cuts off the power of the motor to
cool the motor thus preventing the cleaner from being damaged.
2. If the temperature controller is cut off, stop the cleaner immediately by pulling out
the power plug to cool the cleaner. Check and remove the object/s blocking the
air inlet (including the hose and the spile) and replace the filter HEPA or filter
gauze when necessary.
3. After cooling the motor for about 30mins, plug in the unit and check whether the
temperature controller has reset. If the power of the cleaner hasn’t been cut off,
the temperature controller of the motor won’t be reset even when the motor has
cooled down.
11
MAINTENANCE
1. The daily maintenance and repair should be done after the power plug has been
pulled out.
2. Remove the rubbish in the paper bag/canister frequently to avoid the failure of
the cleaner, and replace the bag when necessary.
3. Never wipe the surface of the cleaner with gasoline or oily liquid. Wipe it with
water or a neutral detergent.
4. Caution: Be sure to use a damp cloth only for cleaning the unit. It is dangerous
for water to infiltrate into electrical elements of the cleaner.
5. When the floor brush is not used, it should not be exposed to direct sun or
dampness.
6. Before using the cleaner, check whether all accessories such as hose, power
cord and HEPA support (filter gauzes), etc, are in good condition. In case of
damage, the damaged accessory should be immediately sent to the service
centre for replacement.
7. When it is not used, the cleaner should be locked in upright position.
8. Upon the completion of the operation of the cleaner, turn off its power, pull the
power plug out of the power socket and wrap it around the pothook.
9. Place the cleaner in the dry indoor environment.

service department or return to the supplier if servicing is necessary.
Always remember to unplug the unit from the electrical outlet when not in use
and before cleaning. Ensure that the speed control is set to “0”.
It is much easier to clean the accessories directly after they have been used.
Wash them in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry well.
The body of the appliance and the stand should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Do not let water enter the appliance or the stand.
Do not use bleach or other abrasive substance or solvents to clean your
appliance as it can be damaging to the finish.
13
Do not immerse the mixer in water or any other liquid, or hold it under a running
tap to clean.
To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly
dampened in soapy water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Use a clean soft cloth
that has been rinsed and dried.
III. Belt Replacement and Roller Brush Cleaning
Fig.10
Both the replacement of the belt and the cleaning of the roller should be done after the
power supply has been cut off, in order to prevent electric shock.
1. Firstly, disengage the cleaner from the upright locking position by stepping on the
releasing footplate. Adjust the lifting knob to the appropriate position, and then
turn over the cleaner to take down the upper cover of brush by removing the
screws.
2. Carefully remove all leftover dirt around the belt.
3. Grasp the roller brush support carefully at the belt side and remove it from the
hold-down groove. Remove the support on the other side from the hold-down
groove in a similar way. (Note: the belt may have certain tension.)
4. Remove the old belt from the shaft of the motor and the end of the roller brush.
5. Carefully remove all leftover dirt on the roller brush.
6. After replacement of the belt, insert both supports of the roller brush into the
corresponding hold-down grooves on the bedplate, and check whether they are
well fixed and whether the roller brush can rotate freely.
7. Assemble the upper cover of the floor bush, and screw down the screws.
