AUTOMATIC THERMAL CUT OUT
A safety thermostat inside the cleaner protects the motor
from overheating if the airways or filters are clogged. If
the stick vac suddenly stops working during operation,
switch off and unplug immediately. Allow the motor to
cool for an hour, empty the dust canister and thoroughly
clean the filters and airways. Plug in the vacuum again and
switch on. The vacuum should now operate normally.
This is a vacuum cleaner for general purpose, of which

Assembling/disassembling
and using the stick vac
Before assembling or disassembling
attachments, ensure the stick vac is
not plugged into the mains supply
and is switched off.
1. Align the top of the extension
pole with the bottom of the stick
vac main body and push up until
the extension pole clicks into
place.
2. Push the other end of the
extension pole into the top of the
floor head. Again it should click
into place.
The stick vac is now assembled,
ready for use.
3. Pop the plug into an electrical
socket and turn the power on.

8
Replacing the attachments
When changing the attachments ensure
the stick vac is switched off.
The floor head and crevice/brush multi-
tool can fit directly onto the main body
for close up vacuuming and low level
dusting and cleaning. For high level
cleaning the crevice/brush multi-tool can
fit on the end of the extension pole.
1. To use the stick vac more as a
handheld vac, remove the extension
pole and replace with the floor head.
Press the release clip on the top of
the extension pole (1) and pull the
extension pole away from the main
body (2).
2. Remove the floor head from the
extension pole in the same way
by pressing the release clip on the
floor head and pulling away the
extension pole.
4. Turn the stick vac on by pushing the
power on/off switch downwards.
5. Move the floor head back and forth
over the surface. Use even strokes.
Don’t press hard; allow the floor head
to suck away the debris.
6. When finished turn off the power on
the vac and to the mains supply.
Note: Lean the stick vac safely against a
wall or surface, or lay the vac down on
the floor when not in use.

3. Align the main body with
the top of the floor head
and push down until it
clicks into place. Turn on
the power.
This set up is useful when
cleaning stairs or sofas.
When finished turn the
power off on the stick vac
and at the mains supply.
Note: Take care when
vacuuming stairs. It is best
to plug in the stick vac at the
bottom of the stairs and work
upwards so the cable isn’t in
the way and doesn’t become a
trip hazard.
4. For low level cleaning
with the crevice/brush
multi-tool, simply slide the
attachment directly onto
the end of the main body.
For high level cleaning,
slide the attachment onto
the end of the extension
pole.
5. To use the brush
attachment on the crevice
tool, pull the top brush
section in the direction of
the arrow until it clicks into
place.
6. To use the crevice tool,
simply push the brush back
to the reverse position.

10
Removing and emptying
the dust canister
Ensure the stick vac is switched off
before emptying the dust canister.
As a tip, it is easier to remove
the dust canister without any
attachments on the vac.
1. Press the dust canister release
button located underneath the
dust canister (1) and pull away
from the main body, keeping the
dust canister fairly upright (2).
2. Pinch either side of the filter
assembly and pull upwards away
from the dust canister. Empty the
debris from the dust canister into
a household bin.
Note: Do not allow the dust canister
to overfill. Don’t exceed the MAX
level marker. Empty regularly.
Everytime you empty the dust
canister, check the filter assembly
and tap gently over the household
bin to remove any excess dust.
3. Replace the filter assembly
into the dust canister. Hook the
channel on the top of the dust
canister with the lug on the main
body (1). Push the dust canister
back towards the main body until
you hear it click into place (2).

Cleaning the filters
Before starting any cleaning, ensure the
stick vac is not plugged into the mains
supply and is switched off.
1. Remove the dust canister and filter
assembly and empty as shown in the
‘Removing and emptying the dust
canister’ section of this manual.
2. Remove the circular sponge filter
from the filter assembly by pinching
the material tab at the top of the filter
and pulling upwards. Tap the filter
over a household bin to remove any
debris then set aside.
3. Remove any excess dust from the
filter assembly using a soft brush or
a clean paint brush. The filter can
be broken down into three parts.
Hold the top section and twist the
lower section, following the arrow
and wording markings on the filter
assembly that say ‘UNLOCK’.
4. Rinse the dust canister, filter assembly
parts and circular sponge filter under
warm water until the water runs clear
and leave to dry for 24 hours.
5. Once all the parts are thoroughly dry,
reassemble the filter assembly, using
the markings for ‘LOCK’, and place
back into the dust canister. Don’t
forget to put the circular sponge filter
back in the top of the filter assembly.
6. Replace the dust canister to the main
body as shown in the ‘Removing and
emptying the dust canister’ section of
this manual.

It is important to regularly maintain and clean the filters.
A clogged filter reduces suction power and can shorten the life of
your stick vac.
Below is a recommended guide for how often you should clean
the filters:
Filter Type Recommended cleaning times
Filter assembly
• Shake out debris when you empty the dust canister.
• Rinse under warm water once a month or more often if
required.
Circular
sponge filter
• Shake out debris when you empty the dust canister.
• Occasionally remove any dust/debris as necessary. It
can also be rinsed under warm water once a month.
Clearing a blockage
Ensure the stick vac is not plugged into the mains supply and is
switched off before dismantling the vac.
The stick vac would only become blocked if the dust canister has
exceeded the ‘MAX’ level, the filters are clogged up or a large object
has been sucked up.
1. Check the dust canister and empty if necessary.
2. Check the 2 filters in the unit, remove any debris/dust and wash
if necessary.
3. If the floor head, crevice/brush multi-tool or extension pole were in
use, detach them from the main body and each other and check for
blockages. Remove any blockages.

13
Storing the stick vac
Your stick vac can be stored safely
and securely by hanging from the
wall mount supplied with your
product or by removing all the
attachments and stowing together
in a cupboard. Either way will help
avoid the product falling over and
causing damage.
Always turn off and unplug from the
mains supply before storing.
1. Remove any attachments if the
stick vac was last used with
them on.
2. Wrap the cord over the top of
the handle and underneath the
dust canister.
3. Store the stick vac and
accessories away safely in a
dry place.

14
Storing the stick vac with the wall mount
1. Find a suitable spot in your household
where you’d like to secure your stick vac.
2. Mark the desired screw hole positions on
the wall using a pencil. We recommend
that the stick vac hangs slightly lifted off
the floor.
3. Use the wall mount fixings supplied only
if suitable for your wall type.
4. Screw the wall mount bracket and
fixings to the wall (see illustration for
which way the mount should hang on
the wall).
5. Wrap the cord over the top of the
handle and underneath the dust canister.
6. The stick vac can then be mounted on
the wall mount bracket. The mount hook
can be found on the back on the main
body near the handle.
