6. Dirt Container and Filter:
Removal and Replacement
1.
Make sure the vacuum cleaner has been switched off
and unplugged from the mains supply. To remove the dirt
container from the vacuum cleaner press the release catch
and pull it forward.
To remove the lid of the dirt container, hold the top and the
side handles firmly and turn the lid anti-clockwise. Pull the
lid away from the body of the dirt container.
Empty all the dust and dirt from the dirt container
(Fig.6/1).
2.
The filter inside the dirt container should be replaced
every 12 months. It should be cleaned each time the dirt
container is emptied. Remove it by grasping the ring at the
top of the filter.
Twist and pull the filter out. To clean it, tap it gently
against the side of a dustbin. Do not use a brush to clean
it as this may damage the filter.
Replace the filter into the dirt container. Push it firmly into
place to prevent dust and dirt leaking out. Replace the dirt
container lid by turning clockwise and clicking into place.
(Fig.6/2).
7. Belt and Brush:
Removal and Replacement
1.
Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the mains supply.
Press the handle release button and turn the vacuum
cleaner over so that the base lies flat and face up. Use a
screwdriver to remove the four retaining screws shown
below (Fig.7/1). Remove the nozzle guard.
Lift and remove the brushbar, then slide the belt off the
motor shaft and dispose of it. Place a new belt on the
motor shaft and then slip the brushbar through the belt.
The belt should sit on the section of the brushbar without
bristles. Re-fit the brushbar. Ensure the end caps are in the
correct position. Rotate the brushbar to check the belt is
not twisted. Replace the nozzle guard (Fig.7/1).
