CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1 Switch the cleaner off and unplug it before cleaning.
2 Don’t put any part of the cleaner in a dishwasher.
3 Wipe external surfaces with a damp cloth. A dab of washing-up liquid should
remove stubborn stains, but clean it off afterwards, or it may itself cause staining.
4 Wipe the tools with a damp cloth, or hand wash in warm soapy water.
5 Rinse to remove the soap, and air dry before using them.
6 Wipe the hose with a damp cloth.
7 String and the like may wind round the brush roller. Upend the cleaner, and snip any
string, etc. carefully with scissors. Take care not to cut the bristles.

BLOCKAGES
No matter how careful you are, sooner or later you’re going to block the cleaner.
Don’t worry, we thought of that, we’ve fitted the motor with a temperature cut-out. A
blockage will trigger the cut-out, and the motor will stop.
F
DON’T PANIC!
If the motor cuts out while you’re vacuuming, don’t panic, it’s not the end of the world,
you’ve probably just blocked it up.
8 Switch off, unplug, and leave the cleaner for half an hour to cool down fully. This’ll
also reset the cut-out.
9 Spread a newspaper on the floor, you’re going to make a mess.

SUCTION BLOCKED
10 If you’re using one of the tools, remove and check it first.
11 Check the hose.
12 Check the bin, cyclone, HEPA filter, and foam filter.
13 Check the base tube – this runs down to the brush roller. Don’t use anything sharp.
The blunt end of a ball-point pen will do nicely.
14 If the blockage isn’t clear by now, try again, as there’s nowhere left to check.
15 Still not clear? – Ring the help line (back page).
