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.
PLEASE NOTE
• 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.
Changing the dust bag
Change the dust bag immediately once the ‘dust bag full’ indicator turns red, see Figure 11.
PLEASE NOTE
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 unblocked.
1. Open the cover by pulling
the cover release (dust bag)
upwards. Remove the dust bag
holder from the vacuum cleaner.
Remove the dust bag from the
holder, and dispose of it in a
dustbin.
2. Fit a new dust bag in the
holder with the arrow pointing
downwards, and press into
position. Place the dust bag
holder back.
3. Press the cover until it clicks into
place.
PLEASE NOTE
• Make sure that the dust bag
does not become pinched by the
cover. This could damage the
appliance and/or the dust bag.
