Accessories/Dirt Container & Filter: Removal & Replacement
7
Stair tool:
To clean curtains, use the stair tool
(Fig.5/9). Air vents in the tool reduce the suction.
Twist the head tool for the best contact with the
curtains. The stretch hose tube can be added for
hard to reach areas.
NOTE:
After vacuuming, slide the stretch hose back
into the stretch hose tube. This can be done
manually or by switching on the vacuum cleaner,
covering the end of the tube with a hand and
pressing the hose release button. The resulting low
pressure pulls the stretch hose back into the tube
automatically (Fig.5/10).
6. Dirt Container & Filter:
Removal & Replacement
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of injury from moving
parts, unplug before servicing.
NOTE
: Unplug the vacuum cleaner before changing
the filter. For best performance, regularly clean filters.
1. The dirt container must be emptied as soon as or
before the maximum capacity mark is reached
(Fig.6/1).
NOTE
: For passing over obstacles or vacuuming on
thick carpets, place the cleaner in its vertical parked
position and pass the cleaner over the obstacle by
tilting the cleaner.
4. If vacuuming needs to be paused briefly bring the
vacuum cleaner into its vertical locking position.
The brushbar switches off automatically to prevent
any damage to the carpet (Fig.4/4). To resume
vacuuming tilt the cleaner back and the brushbar
will switch on again automatically.
Cord Rewind
After use, turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug
from the electrical outlet. Press the pedal for the cord
rewind to draw the power cord automatically (Fig.4/5).
Motor Thermostat
IMPORTANT
: The motor is equipped with a thermal
cut out. If, for any reason the vacuum cleaner should
overheat, the thermal cut-out will automatically turn
the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the wall outlet and turn off the switch.
Check for blockages. Remove the dirt container and
empty. Allow the vacuum cleaner to cool for
approximately one hour. To restart, plug into a wall
outlet and switch back on. If the vacuum cleaner still
does not start, contact Vax Care on 0870 6061248.
5. Accessories
NOTE
: The two accessory parts may be used on the
stretch hose tube and/or the stretch hose.
5. Use the stair cleaning tool for corners and stair
treads (Fig.5/5). The stair cleaning tool can be
rotated to clean the risers and allow for vacuuming
in poorly accessible areas (Fig.5/5A).
Vacuuming Upholstery, Furniture and
Curtains
Remove the stretch hose (Fig.5/6).
Crevice tool:
For upholstery and furniture use the
crevice tool to fit into corners and small spaces
(Fig.5/7).
Brush edge:
When cleaning surfaces use the brush
edge tool on the end of the stretch hose tube to avoid
scratching (Fig.5/8).
