Finished cleaning?
26.
Press and release the power on/off button to turn the cleaner off.
27.
Turn of the power socket (if it’s switchable) and unplug the cleaner.
28.
Stand clear of the cable, press and hold the cable rewind button.
29.
Keep clear of the cable, it rewinds quite quickly and can flick up or catch
on corners and furniture. If it catches on anything, stop pressing and it’ll
stop rewinding.
30.
If the power cord does not retract fully into the unit you may need to pull
it out 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
31.
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.
32.
Switch off, unplug and leave it for a minute to let the dust settle.
33.
Lift the bin handle and pull the bin up and out of the cleaner.
34.
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.
35.
Press the latch to open the bottom of the bin and dump the contents into the
rubbish bin.
36.
Don’t bump the open vacuum bin on the sides of your rubbish bin as this could
result in damage to the vacuum bin.
37.
Turn the agitator on top of the bin twice clockwise, then twice anti clockwise.
This agitates the inside of the HEPA filter, releasing any dust that might be held
in its folds.
38.
Lift the bottom of the bin up to close it.
Check the filters
39.
While emptying the bin, check the filters – blocked filters quickly reduce suction.
40.
You can see the mesh filter through the side of the bin. You should be able
to see the HEPA filter through the mesh filter.
41.
If either filter looks clogged or dirty or if you can’t see the HEPA filter clearly,
it’s time to clean both filters.
42.
If they don’t need cleaning, replace the bin in the cleaner – put the bottom
in first, then push the top. You’ll hear the locks click into place.
43.
Check that it’s secure.
