little washing-up liquid. When the filter is dry, reinstall it
in its original position.
Faults
If the appliance is found not to be working satisfactorily
(reduction in suction power, unusual voices or complete
stoppage) first check to ensure that the suction channels
are not obstructed. Any repairs which may be required
should e carried out only by the FAKIR after-sales service
organization.

GB
Filters must be cleaned or replaced at certain interval in
order to obtain the most cleaning efficiency from the appli-
ance. Withdraw the mains plug from the power socket be-
fore carrying out any change of filter.
A- Long-life Cartridge Filter - When the suction power di-
minishes to a noticeable extent, the cartridge filter must be
cleaned or replaced. To do this, rlease the canister
clamps and remove the hood from the canister. Turn the fil-
ter retaining clip anticlockwise and carefully pull off the filter
cartridge with base plate. Shake or lightly tap the cartridge
to remove clinging dust. For even better results, remove the
dust with your ordinary vacuum cleaner, using the crevice
nozzle. In doing so, take care to ensure thet the paper part
of the filter cartridge is not damaged. Now reinstall the car-
tridge filter in the reverse order.
B- Paper Filter - Release the canister clamps, remove the
hood from the canister and set on one side. Carefully push
tha contaminated paper filter sufficiently far back to expose
the socket located inside. Now pull the filter upwards out of
the canister and dispose of in the waste bin. Unfold the new
paper filter, peel back the rims at the side of the cardboard
disc and carefully push the filter onto the socked in the
canister as far as it will go. Place the ends of the filter
afainst the inner wall of the canister, then install and secure
the hood. In doing this, take care to ensure that the paper
filter in not damaged by the filter cartridge.
C- Foam Plastic Filter - Remove the longlife cartridge filter
and push the fam plastic filter onto the float valve retain as
far as it will go. Now reinstall the hood on the canister, fa-
sten the canister clamps and install the desired vacuum
cleaning accessory. After wett wet vacuum cleaning operati-
ons, remove the contaminated foam plastic filter and clean
with a little washing-up liquid.
To ensure that your appliance retains its
functional efficiency, use only genuine FAKIR filters.
