plug in
caution If you’ve accidentally pressed the suction control/on/off switch 3, the cleaner could
come on when you plug it in. This could give you a bit of a start, so be careful.
18 Plug the cable into a socket near the area to be cleaned (switch the socket on, if it’s
switchable).

cleaning

missed.

27 We’ve tried not to make it too powerful, to avoid wrecking your home, so you may need to
push the plug end into the storage area manually.
removing and emptying the bin
28 You don’t have to empty the bin after each use, but it’s a very good idea. Your cleaner will
happily work till it’s chock full, but you’ll be wasting energy swirling yesterday’s dust around.
Energy that could be better used sucking up today’s dust.
29 There’s a “bin full indicator” on top of the cleaner, between the carrying handle and the
suction control/on/off switch.
30 If it shows red, when suction is at maximum, and the nozzle is off the floor, then you should
empty the bin right away.
31 Switch off, unplug, and leave it for a minute, to let the dust settle.
32 Press in the lock on the hose end, and pull the hose out of the cleaner – this’ll keep the hose
out of your way.
33 Grip the bin handle, press in the bin release buttons, and lift the bin up and out of the cleaner.
34 Lower the bin into your dustbin so the bottom of the bin is below the rim – this’ll prevent the
dust dispersing into your environment.
35 Press the latch on the front of the bin, to open the bottom of the bin, and dump its contents
into the dustbin.
36 Give the bin a couple of taps, to shake all the dirt loose.
37 Lift the bottom of the bin up to close it.
check the filters
38 While emptying the bin, check the filters – especially the plastic filter. Blocked filters quickly
reduce suction, and they’re easy to clean.
precautions
39 Spread out some newspaper – you’re likely to make a mess.
40 Wearing rubber gloves is a good idea – they’ll protect your fingers from any gunge on the
filters.
