a little then press and hold the cord retract button again. You may need to push
the plug end into the storage area manually.
REMOVING AND EMPTYING THE BIN
• You don’t have to empty the bin after each use but it’s a very good idea.
• The cleaner will work until the bin is full but you may find a loss of performance
as the bin nears capacity.
• Switch off, unplug and leave it for a minute to let the dust settle.
• Press the locks on the hose end, and pull the hose from the inlet.
• Hold the handle, press the bin release button and then lift the bin up and out of
the lceaner.
• Lower the vacuum cleaner bin into your rubbish bin so the bottom of the bin is
below the rim – this prevents dust dispersing into the air.
• Press the latch on the side to open the bottom of the bin and dump the con-
tents into the rubbish bin.
• Don’t bump the open vacuum bin on the sides of your rubbish bin as this could
result in damage to the vacuum bin.
• Lift the bottom of the bin up to close it.
CHECK THE FILTERS
• While emptying the bin, check the filters – blocked filters quickly reduce suc-
tion.
• Spread out some newspaper and wear rubber gloves.
Note: filters must be completely dry before replacing in the cleaner.
PLASTIC FILTER
• Lift the bottom and close the bin.
• Grip the handle in one hand, grip the bottom of the bin with the other hand.
• Turn the handle until the tab moves from the closed padlock (insert closed
padlock symbol) to the open one (insert image of open padlock).
• Lift the plastic filter out of the bin.
• Clean the outside of the plastic filter with a stiff brush, an old toothbrush is
ideal.
• Replace the plastic filter in the bin, and move the tab from (insert unlock sym-
bol) to (insert locked symbol) to lock it in place.
LID FILTER
• Pull the lid lock up to open the lid.
• Lift off the lid filter.
• Wash it in warm soapy water, rinse and then air dry.
