Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the filters
•
With the dust container removed, you will
have easy access to the filter and the filter
holder. The blue cyclone cone can also be
removed once the hinged bottom flap of the
dust container is open, and the dust container
empty.
•
All these components are washable under the
tap – please take care as they are fragile.
•
Once clean, the components must be left to
dry naturally. Please ensure that these parts
are completely dry before reassembling the
machine.

Troubleshooting
•
Loss of vacuum suction?
- Check dust container is emptied.
- Check dust filter is clean.
•
Smeary marks are made on floor when
polishing
- Has the polish/wax been allowed to dry?
- Does old polish/wax need to be removed?
•
No gloss sheen is being produced
- Floor wax level may need to be increased, try
another coat. Allow to dry and re-polish.
- However, some types of floor do not produce
gloss finish.
•
Scratches are made on the floor
- Check for grit or dirt stuck to the pads or
wheels.
- Clean/replace pads or clean wheels.
•
Floor is too slippery
- Check the polish/wax is designed to be used
on floors. Floor polish / wax should produce
a glossy but grippy finish.
