IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING (THIS APPLIANCE)

When using an electrical appliance basic precautions should always be followed,

including the following.

Before connecting the cleaner to an electrical supply outlet ensure that the voltage marked on

the rating plate (on the underside of the cleaner) is correct for your electrical supply.

If it does not comply do not use the cleaner prior to contacting the manufacturer.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or injury:

1. Do not leave the vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Remove the plug from the outlet when

not in use and before servicing.

2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been

given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for

their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

4. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or inrmed persons

without supervision.

5. Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturers

recommended attachments.

6. Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the vacuum cleaner is not working as it should,

has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped in water, arrange for it to be taken to

a service centre before using.

7. Do not pull or carry on the cord, or use as a handle. Do not close doors on the cord or pull

around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord

away from heated surfaces.

8. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

9. Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

10. Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use with openings blocked. Keep free of dust,

lint, hair and anything that may reduce airow.

11. Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers and all parts of the body away from the openings and

moving parts.

12. Turn all controls o before unplugging the appliance.

Warnings Continued

13. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

14. Do not use to collect ammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas

where they may be present.

15. Unplug the appliance prior to connecting the hose.

16. Do not collect anything that is burning or smoking such as cigarettes, matches or hot

ashes.

17. Do not use without lters in place.

18. Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.

19. Do not use your vacuum cleaner on carpet cleaning foams, sharp or heavy building

materials or plaster dust or other ne powders. They could damage or clog the cartridge

lter and cause failure to other key parts in your vacuum cleaner and render your

warranty invalid.

20. Store your vacuum cleaner indoors in a cool dry area.

21. Keep your work area well lighted.

22. Unplug electrical appliances prior to vacuuming them.

SERVICE & REPAIR

It is dangerous to alter the specications or modify the product in any way. Under no

circumstances should you attempt to repair the cleaner yourself.

Repairs undertaken by unauthorised or inexperienced persons may cause injury and / or

serious malfunction of the cleaner and may void the warranty conditions on page 10 of this

instruction booklet.

NB! To avoid injury and prevent damage to the vacuum cleaner a defective cord must only

be replaced by an authorised service provider approved by the manufacturer to avoid a

hazard. The vacuum cleaner should be serviced by an authorised service provider and only

genuine Volta parts should be used.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Your vacuum cleaner is double insulated. This means that all external parts are electrically

insulated from the mains. This is done by placing insulation barriers between the electrical

and mechanical components, making it necessary for the cleaner not to be earthed.

WARNING: On collection of proprietary carpet conditioning powder, plaster / concrete dust

and talcum powder, it is recommended that the dust container is emptied and the cartridge

lter is cleaned after each use. Some of thee preparations contain substances which while

left in the vacuum cleaner for extended periods could cause damage. Many air fresheners,

household deodorants, sprays and polishes contain highly inammable gas propellants,

because of this it is particularly important that these products are used strictly in accordance

with the relevant manufacturers instructions. It is essential that none of the above products

are sprayed directly into the vacuum cleaner or any of the lters, hose assembly or dust

chamber.

35125 VORTEX U4015 IFU V3.indd 5 2/10/08 1:37:25 PM

BEFORE STARTING

1. Always operate the cleaner with the dust container installed.

2. Fitting and Removal of the Hose Assembly: - To connect the hose to the suction inlet,

insert the hose until it clicks into position. Remove the hose from the suction inlet by

pushing the button on the coupling to disengage the securing lock and withdraw the

hose from the inlet.

3. Attach the telescopic tube to the hose bent end handle and to the oor nozzle.

4. Extend the power cord by holding the plug and insert the plug into the power outlet.

5. Press the foot pedal to rewind the power cord; with your hand guide the cord to prevent

it from striking you or any other objects.

6. Press the On/O pedal to start and stop the vacuum cleaner.

7. Adjust the suction power by sliding the variable speed controller positioned on the top

of the vacuum cleaner or by adjusting the suction control slide on the hose bent handle.

locking position in the dust container. Turn anti-clockwise to lock it in position. (Please

note that the cone assembly can only be tted one way.)

5. Close the ap and install the dust container in the vacuum cleaner body, ensuring it is

locked into position.

35125 VORTEX U4015 IFU V3.indd 8 2/10/08 1:37:30 PM

REPLACING OR CLEANING THE HEPA FILTER AND FRAME

1. Remove the dust container by using the open button on the handle.

2. a) Remove the HEPA lter complete with frame from the dust container after releasing

the locking clips on the side of the lter frame.

b) Tap the HEPA lter face down on a at surface covered with a sheet of paper; this

will dislodge excess residue from the HEPA lter. Dispose of the cover sheet with the

dust residue.

3. If necessary, the HEPA lter and frame can be washed with cold water under a tap

(wash from the underside not the topside).

4. Air dry the HEPA lter for approximately 24 hours to ensure it is completely dry before

re-using. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme drying circumstances. If you wish to use

your appliance while the HEPA lter is drying, you can use the spare HEPA lter enclosed

in the packaging carton.

5. a) Ret the HEPA lter and frame by rstly pressing the button on the left hand side of

the dust container.

b) Position the HEPA lter and frame with tab aligning with the button on the side of

the dust container.

c) Insert the HEPA lter and frame, ensuring the locking clips positioned on both sides

of the frame are secured.

1. Insert the dust container back into the cleaner by pressing it down until it clicks.

NOTE: Do not use cleaning agents and avoid touching the delicate lter surface.

35125 VORTEX U4015 IFU V3.indd 9 2/10/08 1:37:31 PM

CLEANING THE HOSE AND NOZZLE

The vacuum cleaner stops automatically if the nozzle, tube or hose becomes blocked or if

the lters are blocked. This is due to a safety precaution which prevents the motor

overheating. Switch o the cleaner at the mains power outlet and remove the plug from

the power outlet, grasping the plug not the cord for removal. Allow the cleaner to cool

down for approximately 30 minutes.

TUBES AND HOSE

1. Use a exible hose or similar item to clear the tube and hose.

2. Use a exible hose or similar item to clear the hose by“massaging” it. However, be careful

in case the obstruction has been caused by glass or needles caught inside the hose.

NOTE: The warranty does not cover any damage to hoses caused by cleaning them.

CLEANING THE FLOOR NOZZLE

3. To avoid reduction in suction power, frequently clean the dual-purpose oor nozzle. The

easiest way to clean it is by connecting the hose to the vacuum cleaner and using the

hose bent end handle.
