4.If the filter (14) is not washed as instructed in
‘Maintenance - filter’, it is recommended that the
filter is brushed or tapped clean before refitting
on each empty of the dust canister.

into the main vacuum cleaner body (7) if upright
cleaning.
WARNING: Always remove the handheld vacuum
cleaner from the main vacuum cleaner body and
the charger from the mains supply before
undertaking any maintenance or cleaning
procedures.
Your cleaner is manufactured to withstand normal
day-to-day use, but an occasional wipe over with
a damp cloth will help maintain its good looks.
Take care not to get the electrical connections
wet.
Abrasive cleaners should not be used.
The guarantee may be invalidated if the motor is
damaged due to: using the appliance without
the filter(s) installed; not cleaning the filter(s); or
not replacing a damaged filter.
Cleaning the dust canister filter(s)
To maintain suction, the dust canister filter(s)
must be cleaned each time the dust canister
(13) is emptied.
1. Follow steps 1-4 of ‘Emptying the dust canister’.
2. Pull the pleated filter (14c) out from the filter
assembly (14). Some models also feature an
additional foam filter (14b) between the cyclone
cone (14a) and the pleated filter - this must also
be removed. Also, open the lid to the cyclone
cone and clean the cyclone.
3.Every month, wash the foam filter (14b) (certain
models only) and the pleated filter (14c) in
luke-warm water and thoroughly air dry before
re-fitting.
IMPORTANT: Do not wash the filter(s) with hot
water or detergents.
IMPORTANT: Do not use heated appliances to
dry the filter(s).
4.Replace the filter(s) into the dust canister (13)
then replace the dust canister back onto the
handheld vacuum cleaner (12).
5. Replace the handheld vacuum cleaner back into
the main vacuum cleaner body (7) if upright
cleaning.
•“Does not pick-up”/ “Motorised floor-brush
running slow or soon stops”
Check for hairs/fibres that may be wrapped
around the rotating brush-bar.
IMPORTANT: Remove the brush bar as described
on page 6. Fine hairs or fibres may be caught
unseen in the ends of the brush bar. Carefully
remove the hairs and re-fit the brush bar.
•“Does not pick-up” / “Suction of handheld
cleaner has reduced”
In addition to emptying the dust canister, it is very
important that the filters inside the handheld
cleaner are regularly and thoroughly cleaned. See
page 8 for details of how to access and clean the
filter.
•“Does not pick-up from the floor but the floor
brush is rotating and the handheld has good
suction”
Switch off the product, remove the motorised floor
brush and check for blockages in the connector
between the motorised floor brush and the main
vacuum cleaner body.
•“Product not charging”
Check the indicator light
(11)
on the front of the
handheld cleaner is glowing red to indicate that
charging is in process. If the indicator is not
showing red, check: a) the product is correctly
seated on the charging cradle; b) the mains plug is
fully fitted into the mains socket and the socket is
switched on. If these are OK, check the fuse in the
mains plug.
