Dust bag condition
When the cleaner is switched on, if the
dust bag condition indicator is continuously
showing red (or if the suction is reduced) the
bag must be replaced and the filters
cleaned.
If it is still showing red after emptying the
dust bag and cleaning the filters, check to
see if the hose is blocked.
Changing the dust bag
E
1
Unplug power cable from wall socket.
2
Remove the front by pressing the release
lever at the top.
3
Remove the old dust bag by holding the
cardboard tab and pull towards you.
Remove carefully to avoid dust/dirt
spilling from dust bag and dispose.
4
Take a new dust bag and fold over the
top tab at the crease. Holding the
cardboard tab, push the bag over the
opening of the dirt discharge tube until it
is seated against the rear of the
enclosure.
5
The front panel will not close unless the
dustbag is correctly fitted due to the
safety bag interlock. Always check the
pre-motor and post motor filters every
time you change the dust bag.
6
Once the new dust bag is in place,
replace the front panel by aligning the
bottom locking tabs with the slots in the
body, close cover slowly allowing the
front panel to snap in place. The latch
will self lock.
Changing the filters
F
Everytime a new bag is fitted, the filters
should be taken out and cleaned. Failure to
clean the filters will reduce the suction and
will damage the motor if used for prolonged
periods. This may invalidate the guarantee. If
the filters become damaged they must be
replaced.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the cleaner
without the filters in place.
1
Remove the front cover of the cleaner.
2
The pre-motor filter is located underneath
the bag and the exhaust filter is below
facing forward. To remove the pre-motor
filter, simply slide it forward. To remove
the exhaust motor filter, pull the locking
tab on the right and it will snap out.
3
Remove the filters from their holders by
unclipping and shake vigorously over a
dustbin. The pre-motor filter may also be
washed in warm water. Do not use
detergents. The filter must be completely
dry before re-fitting. Allow filter to dry
naturally, do not overheat. The exhaust
filter is non-washable.
4
Replace front cover.
