blockages
No matter how careful you are, sooner or later you’re going to block the cleaner.
Don’t worry, we thought of that, we’ve fitted the motor with a temperature cut-out. A
blockage will trigger the cut-out , and the motor will stop.
don’t panic!
If the motor cuts out while you’re vacuuming, don’t panic, it’s not the end of the world,
you’ve probably just blocked it up.
1 Switch off, unplug, and leave the cleaner for half an hour to cool down fully. This’ll
also reset the cut-out.
2 Spread a newspaper on the floor, you’re going to make a mess.

3 If you’re using one of the accessories, remove and check it first.
4 Check the bin.
5 With the bin out, you can see the other end of the hose.
6 Pull the hose end off the accessory or the main tube at the
back of the cleaner.
7 Check the hose by running a marble through it, or straighten
it out, and pass a garden cane along its length.
8 Check the main tube which runs down to the brush roller.
Don’t use anything sharp. A finger, or the blunt end of a ball-
point pen will do nicely.
9 If you need access to the other end of this tube, you’ll have
to remove the bottom – see “changing the belt” opposite.
external surfaces
Wipe external surfaces with a damp cloth. A dab of washing-up liquid should remove
stubborn stains, but clean it off afterwards, or it may itself cause staining.
accessories
Wipe with a damp cloth, or hand wash in warm soapy water. Rinse to remove the soap,
and air dry before replacing them.

Wipe with a damp cloth. You can use a dab of washing-up liquid to remove stubborn
stains. Clean off all trace of the washing-up liquid, and check it’s dry before refitting.
brush roller
String, hair, and the like will wind round the brush roller. Upend the cleaner, remove
anything jammed in the roller, and snip any string, etc. carefully with scissors. Don’t cut
the bristles.
