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
fitting 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.

IMPORTANT: To obtain best results from
your cleaner it is important to empty the dust
container and clean the filters regularly,
otherwise the airflow and suction power will
be reduced. If the dust container is not full
and performance deteriorates, first check if
there are any blockages in the accessories
or tubes. If these are clear, it is necessary to
empty the dust container and clean the filter.
Step 1
Remove the hose by pressing in the clips
and pulling the hose away from the hose
inlet.
Step 2
Slide back the dust container release
button ¤and lift off the dust container using
the folding handle.
Step 3
Holding the dust container over a
dustbin, grip the tabs on the back of the
filter, pull to remove and empty out the dust.
3CLEAN THE FILTER before replacing, see
page 7.
4Replace the clean filter, making sure that
it is correctly fitted, then replace the dust
container. Press down firmly until it clicks
into position.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate your cleaner
without the filters fitted.
Emptying the dust container

7
Cleaning the
filter
Everytime the dust container is emptied
the filter should be cleaned. Pull the tabs at
the side of the mesh filter cover to remove
the pleated filter cover. Use the brush
attached to the rear of the filter to brush the
fine dust from between the filter pleats. Dust
can also be removed by rigorously shaking
the filter. Refit the mesh filter cover and re-
install the filter into the cleaner.
The filter should also be washed regularly
in warm water, but do not use detergent.
Allow to dry naturally and ensure it is totally
dry before replacing it.
An additional filter (not filter cover or
brush) is provided allowing continued use
while one filter is washed and dried.
When changing the filters over ensure the
filter cover is fitted to the filter that is being
placed in the machine. The brush can also
be attached to the new filter.
Note: A protection device maintains the
air-flow to the motor if the filters become
blocked.
When this operates the sound of the
cleaner will increase slightly. If this happens,
clean the filter and clear any blockage, the
sound of the cleaner will then return to
normal.
WARNING: Never use the appliance
without the filters installed, otherwise
damage to the product may occur which
would not be covered by the guarantee.

ensure filter is thoroughly dry before
re-inserting into the machine.
