CHECK THE FILTERS
31 Spread out some newspaper, and wear rubber gloves.
,
Filters must be completely dry before replacing in the cleaner.
32 Pull the pre-motor filter away from the rear of the bag
compartment, and tap it over the dustbin, to dislodge any dirt.
33 If it’s really dirty, gently pull the fibre filter out of the pre-motor
filter, soak it in warm soapy water for a few minutes, rinse under a
running tap, then let it air dry.
34 When you replace it, the slit in the fibre filter fits over the
“C”-shaped grip on the rear of the pre-motor filter.
35 Sit the pre-motor filter against the rear of the bag compartment,
and push it till it clicks into place.
36 Pull the main filter out of its drawer above the pre-motor filter,
and tap it over the dustbin, to dislodge any dirt.
37 If it’s really dirty, soak it in warm soapy water for a few minutes,
rinse under a running tap, then let it air dry.
38 When it’s dry, replace it in its drawer.

FIT THE NEW BAG
39 Hold the new bag only by the card. Skin oils will weaken the bag.
40 Slide the card into the bag holder, under the guides.
41 Close the lid – you should hear the latch click into place.
42 Push the hose end into the inlet. It’ll click as it locks into place.

CLEANING THE CLEANER
43 Switch the cleaner off and unplug it.
44 Wipe external surfaces of the cleaner with a damp cloth.
45 Wipe the tools and tubes with a damp cloth.
46 Don’t put any part of the cleaner in a dishwasher.

TIMING
47 Clean the cleaner frequently. Basically, the better you look after it,
the longer it’ll last. Keep an eye on it as you use it, and examine
the filters when you empty the bin. If anything needs cleaning,
do it there and then, don’t put it off, in case you forget.
