Instruction Manual
Operating Instructions
Congratulations on the purchase of your
VAX VS-03R cylinder cleaner. To get the best
performance from this product please read
and retain these instructions.
Check whether the voltage indicted on the
rating plate is the same as the voltage of
your local mains. This product is intended for
home use only.
When using electrical appliances, in order to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or
injury to persons, basic safety precautions
should be followed. These include:
1. This vacuum cleaner is not intended for
cleaning wet or damp flooring. Water
entering the motor unit can cause
permanent damage putting the cleaner
out of operation. This is not covered by
the warranty.
2. To avoid damage to the dust bag or the
cleaner mechanics, never use your VAX
to remove sharp articles such as broken
glass or hot, volatile or explosive articles
such as ash, burning cigarette butts,
etc.
3. In case the cleaner is used to remove very
fine particles such as fine sand, cement
or other like substances, the pores of the
dust bag can become clogged. In that
case, replace the dust bag and the filters
even if the dust bag is only partly filled
4. If your VAX fails to operate, never attempt
to repair it yourself as repairs carried out
by an unauthorised or inexperienced
person may cause injury to you or
damage to your VAX.
5. Have your VAX serviced by an authorised
VAX Service Agent using only genuine
VAX replacement parts.
6. The manufacturer shall not be held liable
for any damage caused by incorrect use
of the cleaner.
7. Never put the hose or nozzle near your
eyes or ears.
8. Never operate your VAX with wet hands
or feet.
9. Never leave the appliance running
unattended.
10. This appliance is not intended for use
by young or infirm persons unless they
have been adequately supervised by a
responsible person to ensure that they
can use the appliance safely.
Young children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
11. Never use your VAX without a dust bag.
12. Never alter the specification or modify
your VAX in any way.
To Change the Filters
Motor Protection Filter
Fig.15 The filter is located in the dust bag compartment and protects the motor from dust. To
reach this filter, lift up the grill which secures it and replace it with a new one.
We recommend changing the filter after 5 bag changes or when it appears soiled.
Attention: Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the motor protection filter.
Air outlet filters
Fig.16 To remove the filters first remove the filter cover. Remove both filter cartridges.
On each individual cartridge remove holding bracket. Replace used filter medium with
new - the gauze side first. Reassemble and replace filter cover.
We recommend replacing the air outlet filters after one month’s use. Thereafter,
replace every 4-6 months, after 5 bag changes, when appearance is soiled or if a loss
of suction is experienced (whichever is sooner).
Remote Control Battery
The remote control on the handle is powered by 2 AAA batteries. To change the batteries,
•
remove battery cover, pull out old batteries (fig.17) and replace with new ones. Replace
battery cover.
