Cleaning the pre-motor filter
IMPORTANT:
If the air inlet, hose or telescopic tube is blocked, switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the
blockage(s) before re-starting the vacuum cleaner.
IMPORTANT:
The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-out. If for any reason the unit should overheat, the thermostat
will automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical socket and turn off
the switch. Remove and empty the dirt container. Check the hose for blockages. Clean the filters. Allow the unit to cool
for approximately one hour (if you have cleaned the filters you will need to wait twenty four hours for the filters to dry
before putting them back in the machine). To re-start the machine, plug it into an electrical socket and switch it back on.
