Hints and tips

Cleaning and maintenance

Unplug from the mains supply before cleaning. The vacuum cleaner, especially the dust compartment and all accessories, can be cleaned using a damp cloth or a non-abrasive domestic cleaner and wiped dry.

To keep the underside of the combination floor nozzle clean, vacuum it at regular intervals using the crevice tool.

Purchasing filters

Use only genuine replacement filters which can be purchased from specialist retailers or by calling our spare parts helpline number:
