Getting the best from your new cleaner...

If your cleaner is not picking up as well as it should, please check

Dust canister

It is important to regularly empty the canister, even if it does not appear full.

Filters

It is important that the dust canister pleated/mesh filter is tapped clean over a

dustbin each time the dust canister is emptied, this allows air through the appliance.

Wash the canister filters regularly in luke-warm water and allow to air dry before

re-fitting.

Blockages

Check the hose, tubes and tools for blockages.

Safety cut-out

If the air-flow is blocked or the filters are not regularly cleaned, a thermostat may operate.

If this happens, switch off and disconnect from the mains supply. Clear any blockage,

empty and clean the filters. Allow 60 minutes for the thermostat to reset.

Belt

If the brush-bar is not rotating, check the belt (as described on page 6). Replace any

damaged or broken belts.
