Empty the bin

Push the button on the Main body of the machine downwards to release dust directly into a dustbin.

Shake or tap firmly to remove all dust from inside the fine dust collector.

                   

Press firmly underneath the catch of the clear bin base to close.

Is there anything else we can help with?

Unusual noise

The machine is designed to pulsate. This is an audible feature that indicates a problem, as well as preventing damage to the motor. This is usually caused by a restriction in airflow or a blockage within the machine.

Check the machine

Open the bin base fully by pressing the bin release catch.

                   

Press the catch located behind the bin release catch to separate the bin from the cyclone.

                   

Remove the bin fully from the machine.

                   

Clean the shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove the fluff and dust.

                   

With the bin removed, check the bin inlet flap for blockages and remove as necessary.

Ensure that it moves freely, fluff or fibres jamming the hinge can cause the flap to close resulting in low suction and pulsating noise.

                   

Check the tools

Inspect all tools to check for blockages and remove any debris as necessary.

                   

Check the Wand

Check both ends of the Wand for blockages and remove as necessary.

                   

Mini motorised head

Using a coin, undo the end cap fastener and remove the Brush bar.

                   

Carefully cut away any hair or fibres from the Brush bar.

                   

Reassemble and test the machine.

Damp or musty smell

A damp or musty smell is caused when dust in the cyclone has come into contact with water.

It may not be a direct contact with water, for example when vacuuming pet hair that is slightly damp, this moisture will combine with the dust in the cyclone causing the smell.

Additionally the smell may occur if the filter goes back into the machine wet.

Only the filter can be washed, the bin can be cleaned with a damp cloth only, and both must be completely dry before being refitted to the machine.

Has any part of the machine been washed?

Clean the bin

To ensure your machine continues to clean effectively, the clear bin must be emptied as soon as the dust reaches the MAX mark.

Push the button on the Main body of the machine downwards to release dust directly into a dustbin.

Clean the clear bin with a damp cloth only.

WARNING: Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean the clear bin. Do not put the clear bin in a dishwasher.

Refit the bin

Ensure the bin is completely dry before replacing. To replace the bin, push it up and in to the Main body of the machine until it clicks in to place.
