Emptying the Dust Tank:
1. To empty the dust tank, begin by pulling the release button at the top of the
tank housing to separate it from the main unit.
2. When the tank has been separated from the handheld, twist the tank lid
clockwise to unlock it.
3. Open the tank and pull the inlet filter out. Shake the tank’s contents into a
dustbin and fit the filter back into place.
4. Once the dust tank has been emptied, replace the lid and twist it counter-
clockwise to slot it into place and close the dust tank.
5. Affix the dust tank back onto the handheld portion of the unit, as described
in the assembly section above. Use the brackets at the edge of the tank as a
guide for how to position the tank when re-fitting it into place.
Cleaning the Unit Body:
1. Before cleaning the unit body, ensure the unit is disconnected from the mains
supply and not in operation.
2. Use a damp cloth to clean the unit body. Never use any abrasive cleaning
materials or solvents, as these could cause damage to the surface of the unit.

DO NOT allow any liquids into the unit, as this could cause damage to
the electrical components and cause it to malfunction.
Storing the Appliance:
