Cleaning & Care
Emptying the Dust Tank:
Note: Ensure the vacuum cleaner is turned off and unplugged from the mains before emptying the dust
tank.
1. To remove the dust tank from the vacuum cleaner, press the release button on the main body of the
unit, then pull the tank firmly towards you and away from the main body of the vacuum.
2. Once the dust tank has been removed, grip the inner filter and rotate it clockwise until you hear a click
to detach it from the unit.
3. When the filter is unscrewed, pull it out and tap it over a rubbish bin or similar surface to remove any
dust residue.
4. Once the filter is clean, rinse it under running water and leave it to dry for at least 24 hours. If necessary,
tap the dust tank over a rubbish bin again to remove any dust residue left inside it.
Note: Ensure the unit is thoroughly clean and the filter is completely dry before attempting to use or store it.
5. Once the filter is clean, screw it back into the unit until you hear a click. Ensure the filter is firmly
secured into place before attempting to use it again.
Clearing Blockages:
If the dust tank is overfilled, the filter is clogged up, or the vacuum picks up a larger piece of debris, the
vacuum may become clogged.
Should this occur, carry out the following steps to unclog the vacuum:
1. Check the dust tank and empty it if necessary.
2. Check the filter for any debris and rinse it under running water if necessary, as detailed in the sections
above.
3. Detach any attachments from the unit and check for blockages.
