support.

1. To remove the dust container, press the release button located just
above where the container is attached.

tap the sides to dispose of all of the dirt.
4. Place the filter back into the dust container in the direction
indicated by the diagram.
Important:
You may wish to empty the dust container outdoors as emptying may
create a dust cloud.
5. Place the assembled dust container back onto the unit, until it
secures into place.

14
CLEANING AND CARE:
CLEANING THE FILTER
It is necessary to clean the filters regularly with frequent use in
order to maintain suction performance and prolong the life span of
your cleaner.
1. Follow steps 1 to 3 on page 13.
2. Carefully wash the filter and dust bag in warm water and allow to
dry for 24 hours.
3. Once dried, place the filter back into the dust container in the
direction indicated by the diagram.
4. Place the assembled dust container back onto the unit, until it
clips into place.
After around 6 months of regular use the filters may need replacing.
Refer to page 19 and Contact Customer Services.
Floor head brush maintenance
If any threads or hair gets trapped in the brush you may need to
carry out maintenance.
For regular maintenance, pull out the waste from around the bar.
If you cannot manually rotate the brush, unscrew the cover and
remove the brush to clean it.
When reinserting, make sure the brush cover is securely fixed and
that the brush rotates properly.

15
WALL MOUNTING YOUR TURBO VAC
What you will need
Use the three wall mounting screws and three wall plugs provided
with the product (under the stand floor support.)
You will also require: a drill with an 6mm masonry drill bit, a sharp
pencil, a screw driver, a hammer and, ideally, a spirit level.
Take out your wall mounting template sheet provided in the Turbo
Vac gift box.
Note: The below measurements are a guide only and should be
adjusted according to your requirements.
Hard wall mounting
1. Using a spirit level and a pencil, draw a horizontal line of
approximately 5cm long at least 50cm from the floor.
2. Place the wall mounting template directly under the line you have
marked on the wall.
3. Using a sharp pencil, pierce a mark on each ‘+’ sign on the
template, making sure the template does not move.
4. Using an 6mm masonry drill bit, drill the three holes previously
marked out.
5. Insert the three wall plugs/fixings into the drilled holes and knock
in with a hammer to secure.
6. Insert the three screws into the fixings, so that the screws take to
the wall plug, leaving approximately 8-10mm of the screw to hang
the wall mounting bracket over.
7. Insert the wall bracket over the screws and let the bracket fall into
place.
8. Tighten all three screws securely, being careful not to over-tighten.
9. Place the cleaner unit onto the bracket.
Note: For partitioning walls, you will require plaster board fixings to
mount the wall bracket (not supplied.)
