,Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply for cleaning or maintenance work on the hand-held Turbobrush. Switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug.

Removing threads and hairs

^Cut any threads or hairs that have become entangled on the roller brush with a pair of scissors. Then run the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up the bits.

For more obstinate tangles or blockages inside the hand-held Turbobrush, the cover can be opened. Any large particles inside it can then be easily removed.

^Turn the grip so that the release button is in the middle of the guide (illustration a).

^Press the release button (illustation b) and pull the grip out from the hand-held Turbobrush as far as possible (illustration c).

^Lift the upper part of the casing as far as it will and remove any debris from the inside of the casing and from the roller brush.

^Close the casing and push the grip back into position until it clicks into place over the release button.
