Avoid tipping the vacuum cleaner or standing it on furniture, fringed rugs or carpeted stairs, whilst you are using the hose with the attachments. When the vacuum cleaner is turned on, the beater brush will continue to rotate. Avoid leaving the vacuum cleaner in one place for an extended period of time, particularly on thick carpet.

Do NOT pull the vacuum cleaner around the room by the hose as it could tip over and cause damage. Do NOT over stretch the hose. Trying to reach beyond the hose’s extended length could cause the vacuum cleaner to tip over.

You may need to choose a higher setting to make some jobs easier, such as vacuuming scatter rugs and longer pile carpets.

Suggested Settings

PLUSH (HIGHEST): shag carpet, long pile, plush scatter rugs - medium to long pile.

BARE (LOWEST): short to medium pile, bare floors very low pile, bare floors. Place vacuum cleaner in “PLUSH” setting when using attachments to prevent possible floor damage.

Special care is required when vacuuming certain types of carpet or floor covering. Always check the carpet or floor covering manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions before vacuuming.

GB-8

Removing and Emptying the Dust Tank

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power cord must be disconnected before removing the dust tank, dust tank filter, changing the filters or performing maintenance/ trouble shooting checks. The “Dust Tank” must always be emptied when the dirt level reaches the “MAX” line on the dust tank.

1. Press the dust tank assembly release.

2. To remove the dust tank assembly lift it out from the vacuum cleaner using the handle.

3. To empty the dust tank, remove the dust cover by pressing the trap door release button.

Release Button

To obtain the best result from your cleaner the dust tank needs to be cleaned regularly, otherwise the airflow and cleaning power will be reduced. When the performance deteriorates it is necessary to clean the dust tank. Check if there are any blockages in the accessories or tubes and follow the filter cleaning instructions for optimum performance.

GB-9

Cleaning the HEPA Dust Tank Filter

Please Note the washable HEPA dust tank filter will stop most of the tiniest dust particles and airborne allergens from re-entering the air you breathe. In fact it stops 99.97% of all particles as small as 0.3 microns - many times smaller than a human hair! Because of this incredible filtration performance, the HEPA dust tank filter will quickly accumulate many fine dust particles inside the white filter folds that are difficult to see but which will eventually block or reduce your suction power, if not cleaned properly.

1. To remove the HEPA filter, unlock and remove the dust tank cover by turning the cover anti-clockwise until the arrow on the cover aligns with the arrow on the handle and then lift the cover off.

2. Remove the washable HEPA filter from the dust tank by turning the cover anti-clockwise.

Filter

3. Vigorously tap the HEPA filter on a hard surface until no more dust is can be seen falling out.

4. Alternatively, the HEPA filter may also be washed by running it under the tap. We recommend that you wash the filter once a week or when the suction appears to have been reduced. Always allow 24 hours for drying before inserting back into the vacuum cleaner.

•

•

The white material in the HEPA filter will discolor over time. This is NORMAL and will NOT affect the performance of the filter.

Never overfill the dust tank. Remove dirt and clean the HEPA filter each time the dust tank is emptied. Failure to keep the filter clean could result in the motor becoming damaged.

GB-10

Cleaning the HEPA Filter Frame

1. Press on the trap door release button to open the bottom cover of the dust tank.
