Morphy Richards Goblin User manual

Replacing the micro
filters
The micro-filters must be cleaned everytime
the bag is changed to remove the fine dust
particles collected. This can be done by
shaking them.
However, after approximately 5 dustbag
changes, the filters should be replaced.
The motor protection filter is found in the
dustbag compartment. With the dustbag
removed, release the filter from the securing
flap and clean or replace.
The exhaust filter is located behind the
exhaust filter outlet cover fi. To remove,
unclip the cover, remove the filter and clean or
replace.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate without a
micro filter fitted.
Care and
maintenance
Your cleaner is manufactured to withstand
normal day-to-day use, but an occasional wipe
over with a damp cloth will help maintain its
good looks. Abrasive cleaners should not be
used.
Purchasing new dust
bags and filters
Use original Goblin bags and filters.
Replacement packs can be purchased from
specialist retailers. If you have difficulty, call the
number on the front of this booklet.

Electrical
requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating plate
of your appliance corresponds with your house
electricity supply which must be A.C.
(Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be removed and the
appropriate one fitted.
If you cut off the plug and let go of the
cable it will rewind into the machine. Therefore
you must pull out a length of cable and secure
it before cutting off the plug and refitting a new
one.
WARNING: The plug removed from the
mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed
as a plug with bared flexible cord is
hazardous if engaged into a live socket
outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require
replacement, a BS1362 13 amp fuse must be
fitted.
