CLEANER MAINTENANCE
For models equipped with LED bag check indicator (see H1), both full bag and
obstructions are signaled by a red light on the display.
For models equipped with the other type of bag check indicator (see D), the
mechanism turns red if bag is full and if obstructions occur.
Replacing the Dust Bag
If the bag check indicator turns red on the bag door (see D), or on the
display(see H1) please check the bag and, if necessary, replace with it.
- Lift the bag door release latch, open the bag door and remove the bag. [12,13] The full dust bag should be disposed correctly and carefully. [14]
- Fold a new bag as shown on the bag and fit by inserting the collar into the bag holder. [13]
- Close the Bag door.
WARNING: The bag door will NOT close if the dust bag and/or the bag
holder are not assembled to the cleaner. Always ensure the bag is present when
closing the bag door.
REMEMBER: The bag check indicator also turns red (D or H1)** if an
obstruction has occurred. In this case refer to ‘Remove a Blockage from the
System’.
Cleaning the Filters
To ensure constant optimum performances from your cleaner, please wash the filters after each 5 bag changes.
Cleaning the pre-motor filter:
- Lift the bag door release latch to open bag door and remove the bag. [12,13]
- Remove the pre-motor filter frame from the cleaner. [15]
- Remove the filter from the pre-motor filter frame. [16]
- Wash the pre-motor filter and the pre-motor filter frame using hand warm water, and allow it to dry thoroughly before inserting into the cleaner. [19,20]
Cleaning the exhaust filter
- Remove the exhaust filter, unclip the exhaust filter cover and remove the exhaust filter pack. [17,18]
- Wash the exhaust filter pack in hand warm water, and allow it to dry thoroughly before inserting into the cleaner. [19,20]
Remember: Do not use hot water or detergents. In the unlikely event of
the filters becoming damaged, fit a Genuine Hoover replacement. Do not try and
use the product without a dust bag or filters fitted.
Cleaning the permanent cloth dust bag (Certain model only)
To maintain optimum performance we recommended that you wash the permanent
cloth dust bag after every 5 full bags. Empty the contents of the bag into a
bin, wash the bag under warm water, remove excess water and leave to dry fully
before replacing.
Removing a blockage from the system
If the bag check indicator turns red (D) or remains lit (H1):
- Check if the bag is full. If so refer to ‘Replacing the Dust Bag’.
- If it is not full, then:
A. Do the filters need cleaning? If so refer to ‘Cleaning the Filter’.
B. Check if there is any other blockage in the system.
– Use a cord or a stick to remove any blockage from the telescopic tube or flexible hose.
Warning: The bag check indicator will remain redor lit if the cleaner is used when the bag is full, if there is a blockage or if the filters are dirty. If the cleaner is used for a significant period of time with the bag check indicator illuminated, an thermal cut out will switch the cleaner off to prevent overheating. The bag check indicator turns off once the cleaner has switched off to signal that the thermal cut out has been activated. If this should happen, switch the cleaner off, unplug and correct the fault. It will take about 30 minutes for the cut out to automatically.
