dirt container and filters
Cleaning the cyclone separator
1.
Remove the dirt container from the unit as directed
above and dispose of dirt inside the container
before cleaning.
2.
Rotate the lid of the dirt container anti-clockwise to
remove the dirt container off the cyclonic separator
(Fig 6/3).
The separator should be cleaned with a soft brush and
wiped with a damp cloth. The dirt container can be wiped
clean (Fig 6/4).
IMPORTANT:
The cyclonic separator should not be
submerged in water.
When the cyclone separator has been cleaned, leave the
separator to dry completely, re-attach the dirt container
to the lid of the separator and return the dirt container to
the unit.
Cleaning the pre-motor filter
NOTE:
This is located on the rear of the unit, underneath
the pedals.
Release the pre-motor filter cover by sliding across the
release catch to the right. Lift off the filter cover to gain
access to the filter. Remove the filter by pulling the tab
towards you (Fig 6/5).
Separate the foam filter from the fabric cassette. Each
filter can be tapped against the side of a dust bin to
remove the excess dirt and dust (Fig 6/6).
The pre-motor filters may be rinsed in warm water (max
40 deg.). Allow to air dry for 24 hours before replacing.
NOTE:
Do not use any detergents or boiling water to
wash the filter. Vax recommends this filter should be
checked and cleaned periodically.
Once completely dry, return the pre-motor filters and case
to the vacuum cleaner. Replace the pre-motor filter cover
before restarting the vacuum cleaner.
Cleaning the Post-motor filter
NOTE:
This is located on the base of the vacuum cleaner.
Using a coin, rotate the post-motor filter cover lock
clockwise, and remove the cover as shown. Remove the
filter by pulling the tab towards you (Fig 6/7).
