Dustbag indicator and changing the dustbag
For peak performance the dustbag should be changed when full. The
mechanical dustbag indicator window will gradually turn red when filling and
completely red when full.
If the dustbag should get broken in the cleaner, take cleaner to service centre
for cleaning. This is not covered by the guarantee.
The dustbag full indicator may signify that the bag is blocked (occasionally
caused by finer dust) which will cause loss of suction and may result in
overheating. If this occurs change the bag even if it is not full. DO NOT
VACUUM VERY FINE DUST (PLASTER, CEMENT, COLD CINDERS...).
To check the dustbag, the cleaner must be switched on, with all attachments
connected but the nozzle does not have to be placed on the floor.
To change the dustbag:
7 Open the cleaner cover.
8 Remove the dustbag from its holder.
8 Insert the new dustbag into the holder.
9 Adjust the upper part of the dustbag into the dustbag compartment.
7 Close the dustbag compartment and continue cleaning.
We recommend the dustbag is changed after using a carpet cleaning
powder or if there is a bad smell from the cleaner.
Note: Only use original dustbags and filters
Dustbag (ref. BT153/DBT153/1000)
Micro filter (ref.D09 )
Motor Protection filter (ref. D24)
Dustbag safety device
To avoid damaging the cleaner, do not use it without a dustbag. A safety device is
fitted which prevents the cover closing without a dustbag in place. Do not attempt
to force cover shut.
Changing/cleaning the filters
Never use the cleaner without the filters in place.
The filters should be changed/cleaned approximately every fifth dustbag.
To maintain Motor Protection filter:
7 Open the cleaner cover.
10 Remove the filter unit, rinse the filter under warm tap water only and dry the
filter completely (10-13-14). The original filtering performance is now
restored. Replace the unit back into the cleaner and close cover ensuring it
is securely in place and the cover is properly closed.
Latest every second year replace the old filter with a new one.
To maintain Micro filter:
11 Press the catch to open the filter cover.
12 Remove the filter unit, rinse the filter under warm tap water only and dry the
filter completely (13-14). The original filtering performance is now restored.
Replace the unit back into the cleaner and close cover ensuring it is
properly fastened.
Latest every second year replace the old filter with a new one.
Troubleshooting
Power:
if the electric power does not come on, disconnect from mains and
check plugs, cable and fuses where appropriate.
The cleaner may switch itself off in event of severe blockage or excessively dirty
filters. In such cases, disconnect from mains and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
Clear blockage and/or replace filter(s) and restart.
The clearing of blocked hoses is not covered by the guarantee. To avoid
blockages and maintain suction efficiency, the floor nozzles should be cleaned
regularly using the hose handle.
Please see additional Volta information towards the back of this booklet.
Water:
if water is sucked into the cleaner the motor must be changed at a
service centre. This is not covered by the guarantee.
