FILTERS

Replacing the HEPA exhaust filter E

The HEPA exhaust filter should be replaced every 6 months.

•Replacement filters can be purchased from our replacement parts helpline.

1Remove the front grille E to access the HEPA filter.

Safety cut-out

If the cleaner overheats a motor protection thermostat will automatically switch the motor off. If this happens, switch the cleaner off, unplug from the power supply and leave the cleaner to cool for at least 60 minutes. Check the airways for blockages, replace the dust bag, clean the pre-motor filter and if necessary change the HEPA filter.

Changing the belt

If the brush bar stops rotating it is likely that the drive belt has snapped (usually because the brush has been stalled). A spare belt is supplied. Replacement belts can also be obtained from Morphy Richards.
