Dust bag condition

When the cleaner is switched on, if the dust bag condition indicator is continuously showing red (or if the suction is reduced) the bag must be replaced and the filters cleaned.

If it is still showing red after emptying the dust bag and cleaning the filters, check to see if the hose is blocked.

Changing the dust bag E

1Unplug power cable from wall socket.

2Remove the front by pressing the release lever at the top.

3Remove the old dust bag by holding the cardboard tab and pull towards you. Remove carefully to avoid dust/dirt spilling from dust bag and dispose.

4Take a new dust bag and fold over the top tab at the crease. Holding the cardboard tab, push the bag over the opening of the dirt discharge tube until it is seated against the rear of the enclosure.

5The front panel will not close unless the dustbag is correctly fitted due to the safety bag interlock. Always check the pre-motor and post motor filters every time you change the dust bag.

6Once the new dust bag is in place, replace the front panel by aligning the bottom locking tabs with the slots in the body, close cover slowly allowing the front panel to snap in place. The latch will self lock.

Changing the filters F

Everytime a new bag is fitted, the filters should be taken out and cleaned. Failure to clean the filters will reduce the suction and will damage the motor if used for prolonged periods. This may invalidate the guarantee. If the filters become damaged they must be replaced.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the cleaner without the filters in place.

1Remove the front cover of the cleaner.

2The pre-motor filter is located underneath the bag and the exhaust filter is below facing forward. To remove the pre-motor filter, simply slide it forward. To remove the exhaust motor filter, pull the locking tab on the right and it will snap out.

3Remove the filters from their holders by unclipping and shake vigorously over a dustbin. The pre-motor filter may also be washed in warm water. Do not use detergents. The filter must be completely dry before re-fitting. Allow filter to dry naturally, do not overheat. The exhaust filter is non-washable.

4Replace front cover.
