CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Cleaning
1. Clean the outer surface of all parts with a damp cloth and a cleaner suitable for plastics. Make sure no
moisture gets into the appliance.
2. Over the course of time dust and dirt can accumulate around the wheel axles, thereby preventing the
wheels from turning easily. Consequently they should be kept clean.
• Never immerse the appliance, plug or power cord in water.
• Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes)
to clean the appliance.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Changing the dust bag
1. Change the dust bag immediately once the ‘dust bag full’ indicator turns red, see Figure 7.
It is possible that the indicator turns red whilst
the dust bag is not yet full. if so, then the nozzle,
hose or tubes may be blocked. These will then
need to be cleaned.
2. Open the cover by pulling the cover release
(dust bag) upwards. Remove the dust bag from
the holder, and dispose of it in a dustbin.
3. Fit a new dust bag in the holder with the arrow
pointing downwards, and press into position.
4. Close the cover, and press until it clicks into
place.
• Make sure that the dust bag does not become pinched by the cover. This could damage the appliance
and/or the dust bag.
• The cover cannot be closed if a dust bag is not fitted, or is not fitted correctly.
Note Dust bags for this vacuum cleaner are available from every major hardware store.
