Scrubbing / cleaning the floor
-Heavily soiled surfaces may require the brush
attachments are used initially to loosen any debris.
Otherwise ensure that the white scrubbing pads
are attached (see page 4).
-Use the white scrubbing pads with floor cleaner or
Ewbank® Floor Polish to remove stubborn stains
or old treatments from the floor surface.
-Turn the product on at the power socket and
select the correct setting selected on the power
button. The default setting is off. Press down and a
light will show on the front of the unit, this means
the polisher is on and the vacuum is off. Press
down again the polisher and vacuum will be on.
-With your foot securing the head of the polisher on
the floor (1), pull the handle towards you (2) and
the product will start (Fig.9). Returning the handle
to its upright position will stop the product.
-Move at a speed of about 1 minute every 1M2 and
follow the diagram for an even finish (Fig.10)
-Do not sweep the polisher from side to side.
-Do not leave the product operating in one area for
a prolonged period as this may damage your floor
-Once cleaning is complete, turn the unit off by
returning it to its upright position. Polishing / buffing
the floor
-Clean floor thoroughly first before adding your
chosen floor polish / wax
-If you are using an alternative floor polishing wax
or oil to Ewbank® Floor Polish, please refer to the
manufacturer's instructions when using with the
Ewbank® 4-in-1 Floor Cleaner, Scrubber Polisher
& Vac
-Start with the blue cleaning pads initially and buff
to a finish with the yellow pads for a high-sheen
finish
-Keep the polisher moving, do not stop in one place
for a long time or it will spoil the finish
-Once polishing is complete, turn the unit off by
returning it to its upright position
-A glossy finish may not always be possible; this
depends on the polish/wax used and the type of
floor surface. Sometimes several coats of polish
will enable a glossy finish.

increased, try another coat. Allow to dry and re-polish.

Scratches are made on the floor
Fig. 12
- Check for grit or dirt stuck to the pads or on the
rear wheels

from debris
Floor is too slippery

floors only. Alternatively use the EPV1100 as a
standalone vacuum by changing to the vacuum
head and use on hard floors throughout the home.

Important Care Advice
The
EPV1100 i
s a lso a
powerful highly efficient
vacuum cleaner.The powerful suction will remove
the smallest particles of dust and dirt. To prevent the unit from overheating and to maintain
efficiency the filter MUST BE cleaned regularly.
The waste chamber is transparent to enable you to see accumulated
dirt and debris.
When this happens the efficiency of the
motor unit is reduced and the waste chamber
must be emptied and
the filter assembly cleaned.
A blocked filter will restrict airflow to the motor
which can start overheating.
This will become
apparent as the noise of the motor will become higher
pitch. If this happens stop the unit and then
clean the filter
.
As a safety precaution the motor is designed to cut out in the event of overheating.
P
lease allow the unit to cool sufficiently for up to
one hour before restarting.
Emptying the waste chamber and caring for
your filter
Disconnect the E
PV1100
from the
power socket-outlet. Depress the waste chamber
release
button (Fig. 1
3
). While holding the release
button, separate the chamber from the main body
(Fig. 1
4
), and empty the waste from the chamber
by pressing the release button (Fig. 1
5
).
Filter cleaning – we recommend the filter is
checked and cleaned each time the waste
chamber is emptied.
The filter has 2 separate parts, an outer pre-filter basket and a pleated filter which fits inside
this
basket. The pre-filter will collect larger particles and prevent these from becoming lodged in the
grooves of the pleated filter.
To clean the filter separate the two parts, the pleated filter should easily separate from the
pre-filter, then gently shake, tap or brush the pleated filter to remove dust particles and debris
from
the grooves (Fig. 1
6
). The outer pre-filter can be brushed or tapped to remove debris around
the
filter (Fig. 1
7
).
Both parts of the filter assembly are suitable for gentle washing in warm (not hot) water. Do not
use detergent. Allow both the pleated filter, and external pre-filter to dry naturally for 24 hours
before refitting to the EPV1100. Ensure all parts have fully dried before reassembly. Only use the
EPV1100 with both parts of the filter assembly in place.
