Wall mounting (Ref to the Wall mounting & fixings guide on page 18)

Safety

• Before drilling into wall surface, check for hidden cables or pipes.
• Wear safety goggles and dust mase when drilling
• The use of a residual current device (RCD) is recommended when working with power tools.

Tools

• Drill fitted with a 6mm masonry drill bit required
• Screwdriver
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Spirit level

1. Choose a suitable location for the wall bracket away from areas where it will get wet or knocked and close to a socket. Check that the charge cable will reach the mains socket (180cm distance max) and that there is sufficient space above and below the bracket (approx. 120-125cm below) for the fully assembled vacuum cleaner be inserted. No part of the vacuum cleaner should touch the floor when fitted into the bracket (fig 6).
2. Place the bracket in the desired position and using a pencil, mark the position for the two screw holes. Using a ruler, draw a line joining the points marked for the two screws and using a spirit level, check that it is on the same level.
3. If fixing to a masonry wall, use a masonry drill bit, drill holes to a depth of 30mm and insert the wall plugs.
4. If fixing to ceramic tiles, use a tile and glass drill bit to drill through the tile and then drill holes to a depth of approximately 32 mm using a masonry drill bit. Insert the wall plugs beyond the depth of the tile.
5. Hold the bracket into position, align the fixing holes in the bracket with the wall plugs and insert the screws until the bracket is held firmly into position
6. Insert the assembled vacuum cleaner into the bracket (fig.7).

Notes:

• If fixing the bracket to timber, follow the directions above, but only drill a small pilot hole for each screw and do not use wall plugs. This fitting is not suitable for mounting onto doors.
• If fixing to hollow plasterboard walls, use a drill bit suitable for wood and use wall anchors suitable for cavity walls. For maximum strength locate into wall studs and

2. Push fit the floor head onto the extension tube (fig. 8), a click will be heard. The crevice nozzle and combination nozzle can be fitted in place of the floor head
3. Alternatively do not use the extension tube and fit the crevice nozzle or combination nozzle directly onto the body of the vacuum cleaner (fig. 9). The floor head can be fitted in a similar manner, but if using in this configuration ensure hands are kept away from the floor head during operation – due to a potential entrapment hazard.
4. To remove the all parts press the release button and accessories firmly pull apart.

A Guide to Wall Mounting & Fixings

IMPORTANT: When drilling into walls always check that there are no hidden wires or pipes etc. Make sure that the screws and wall plugs being used are suitable for supporting your unit. Consult a qualified tradesperson if you are unsure.

HINTS:

1. General Rule Always use a larger screw and wall plug if you are not sure.
2. Ensure you use the recommended drill bit to match the wall plug and hole size.
3. Ensure you drill the hole horizontally, do not force the drill or enlarge the hole.
4. Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings and ceramic tiles. Ensure the plug is fitting below the ceramic tile to avoid splitting or cracking.
5. Ensure wall plugs are well fitted and are a tight fit in the drilled hole.

Care and maintenance

Care and maintenance
Looking after your appliance

Maintenance
Disconnect the charger from the vacuum cleaner before carrying out cleaning and maintenance. To ensure your vacuum cleaner works at optimum efficiency, keep the ventilation holes and vacuum cleaner surface free from dirt. Ensure that the dust container is emptied and the air filters are washed regularly.

1. Wipe the outside of the vacuum cleaner and accessories with a damp (not wet) cloth and then wipe dry. Do not use detergents, solvents or abrasives as these may scratch or damage the surface.
2. Never immerse the vacuum cleaner, battery or charger in water.
3. When not in use, store in a cool, dry place.

Emptying the dust container

1. When the dust container reaches the MAX line marked on the dust container (fig 11) or when the suction power is reduced, it is time to empty the dust container.
2. Position the dust container over a refuse bin, then press the lever at the front of the container to open the base (fig. 12) and empty the container. Gently tap the container against the side of the bin to remove any stubborn dust.3. The inside of the dust container maybe wiped clean with a damp cloth. Dry with a soft dry cloth before closing the flap. A click will be heard when it is correctly engaged.

Cleaning the filters

1. The frequency that the filters should be cleaned will depend on appliance usage. For maximum efficiency the filter within the dust container should be cleaned every time the dust container is emptied and the exhaust filter at the top every three months.

2. Click the dust container release button, located on the front of the handle just above the dust container and pull ddust container out(Fig 13)

3. Lift out the cyclone from ddust container(Fig 14), lift out pre-motor filter and shake off dust frequently .Every three months rinse filter and dry thoroughly(Fig 15), turn the filter assembly head clockwise to disassembly the cyclone filter(Fig 16), wash with running water, and make sure it is dry before next use(Fia 17).
   

4. Tap the filter against a dustbin to remove most of the dust and then wash the filter in cold running water until the water runs clear. Allow to air dry fully. Using a damp or wet filter will reduce the suction and damage the motor.

5. The filter assembly can also be washed under running water if needed.

6. When the filter and assembly are completely dry, reverse the above steps and refit the filter into the dust container and close the flap. In each case turn in the direction of the locked padlock symbol(fig. 18).

7. To clean or replace the post-motor filter, turn the cover anticlockwise and lift off the cover(fig. 19), remove the filter(Fig.20), wash and dry the filter in accordance with step 4.

8. Refit the filter and cover onto the cleaner.

Cleaning the brush

1. The frequency that the brush should be cleaned will depend on appliance usage. Always stop the vacuum and clean the brush head if the indicators turn white or if the floor head brush stops rotating.
2. Remove the floor head from the cleaner (fig. 19).
3. Push the small lever at the side of the brush in the direction of the front of the floor head and lift off the retaining plate (fig. 20).
4. Lift out the roller brush (fig. 21) and remove any thread, fluff or other obstructions. The brush roller can also be washed under running water if needed. Allow to fully dry.
5. Refit the bush roller and secure into position by fitting the retaining plate.
