The bracket should be placed away from wet areas, close to a socket, and with sufficient space for the vacuum.

Maintenance Features:
- General Cleaning: The exterior and accessories can be wiped with a damp (not wet) cloth and dried. Detergents, solvents, or abrasives should be avoided. The vacuum, battery, or charger should never be immersed in water.
- Dust Container Emptying: The dust container should be emptied when it reaches the MAX line or when suction power reduces. This is done by positioning the container over a bin and pressing a lever to open the base. The inside can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and dried.
- Filter Cleaning:
- Dust Container Filter: This filter should be cleaned every time the dust container is emptied. It involves pulling out the dust container, lifting out the cyclone, and then the pre-motor filter. The pre-motor filter should be shaken off frequently and rinsed every three months, ensuring it is thoroughly dry before re-use (24 hours drying time is recommended). The inner filter can be disassembled by turning the assembly head anti-clockwise, washed with running water, and dried.
- Exhaust Filter (Post-Motor Filter): Located at the top of the vacuum, this filter should be cleaned every three months. To access it, the cover needs to be turned anti-clockwise and lifted off. The filter can then be removed, washed in cold running water until clear, and air-dried fully.
- Brush Cleaning: The floor head brush should be cleaned if indicators turn white or if it stops rotating. This involves removing the floor head, pushing a small lever to lift off the retaining plate, and then removing the roller brush. Any threads, fluff, or obstructions should be removed. The brush roller can also be washed under running water and allowed to dry fully before refitting.
The Kensington Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner is designed to be a reliable and user-friendly appliance, backed by a 3-year warranty, with dedicated after-sales support available in New Zealand.
