5. The inside of the dust container maybe wiped clean with a damp cloth. Dry with a
soft dry cloth before closing the flap and refitting the container to the cleaner.
Cleaning the filters
1. The frequency that the filters should be cleaned will depend on appliance usage.
For maximum efficiency the cartridge filter should be cleaned every time the dust
container is emptied and the exhaust and motor filter every six months. Switch off
from the mains supply.
2.
Remove the dust container from cleaner (fig 6) and empty the dust container
(fig.7).
3. Lift out the coarse motor filter (fig 11) and wash in cool soapy water, rinse under
running water until the water runs clear and air-dry the filter thoroughly (do not force
dry). Never wash filters in the washing machine.
4. To clean the cartridge filter, twist the clear part of dust container anticlockwise to
separate it from the top handle section (fig. 8).
5. Tap the filter assembly against a dustbin to remove most of the dust and then twist
the filter housing anticlockwise and separate it from the black handle section (fig.9).
6. Twist the filter cartridge anticlockwise and separate from the handle section
(fig.10) and wash the cartridge as described in step 3.
7. Reverse the above steps and refit the filter cartridge, filter housing and dust
container onto the vacuum.
8. To clean or replace the air outlet filter, press the catch at the top of the grill cover
(fig. 12), lift off the cover. Wash and dry the filter (fig. 13) in accordance with step 3
above.
9. Refit the filter and cover into the cleaner.
