ALLERGY
SUFFERERS
When emptying any vacuum
cleaner, it is difficult to avoid
exposure to dust. To minimise
this risk, please ensure that you
encase the dust canister in a
large bag to empty it. Close the
bag as tightly as possible round
the dust canister. Remove the
dust canister and close the bag
as tightly and quickly as
possible and dispose of this
immediately. It is advisable to
wear disposable gloves and a
face mask while emptying the
cleaner. If at all possible, ask a
non allergy sufferer to empty the
dust canister when required.
FILTERS
All filters must be checked and,
if necessary, cleaned every time
the dust canister is emptied.
To clean the filters, shake or
brush them over a dustbin. The
filters may also be washed
but
must be left to thoroughly air
dry before re-use
.
IMPORTANT: Do not wash filters
with detergents.
IMPORTANT: Do not use heated
appliances to dry filters.
IMPORTANT: Never use the
appliance without the filters
installed, otherwise damage
may occur which would not be
covered by the guarantee.
