User manual RUSSELL HOBBS TORNADO STRETCH VACUUM 18068

[. . . ] 4 Keep hair, clothing, fingers (and toes), away from the end doing the sucking, and from the brush. It won't drag you into the bin, but it may give you a bit of a start. 5 Stuff you mustn't pick up: a) don't pick up any liquid ­ you'll short the motor b) don't pick up stuff that may ignite spontaneously, like matches, bits of fire-lighter c) don't pick up anything burning or smouldering, like cigarette ends, ashes, or embers ­ wait till they're extinguished and cold d) don't pick up spillage from toner cartridges ­ the fine carbon particles may pass through the filter, short circuit the motor, and burn it out e) don't pick up cement or plaster dust ­ they'll combine with moisture in the air, clog the filter, scour the bin, and maybe burn out the motor too f) don't pick up anything sharp ­ you may puncture the filter and damage the motor g) don't pick up anything biological ­ you'll eventually have to clean it off the filter, and there's always the possibility that viral particles may pass through the filter, reach the air outlet, and enter your air supply 6 If you use the cleaner outdoors (e. g. cleaning the car), connect it to the electricity supply via a residual current device (RCD), with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA. [. . . ] 24 Keep clear of the cable, as it rewinds at a fair lick. If it catches on anything, stop pressing, and it'll stop rewinding. 25 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. finished cleaning? removing and emptying the bin 26 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. 27 There's a "bin full light" on top of the cleaner, behind the suction control. 28 If it lights, the bin is full ­ you should empty it right away. 29 Switch off, unplug, set it down on its wheels, and leave it for a minute, to let the dust settle. 30 Squeeze the locks on the hose end, and pull the hose out of the inlet (removing the hose isn't essential, but it makes life so much easier). 31 Squeeze the latch on the front of the cleaner into the cleaner, and open the cover. 32 Raise the handle on top of the bin, and lift the bin out of the cleaner. 33 Ease the bottom of the bin lock away from the catch, and rotate the bin lid backwards, on its hinges, till it comes free of the bin. 34 Lower the bin into your dustbin, then turn it upside down to empty it. 35 Tap the side of the bin, to shake all the dirt loose. , if you want to check the filters, jump to point 42, otherwise carry on. 36 Locate the rear of the bin lid on the hinges at the rear of the bin. 37 Rotate it forwards, till the bin lock is secured over the catch on the front of the bin. 38 Lower the bin into the cleaner, then push it gently back, towards the rear of the cleaner, to lock it into place. 39 Lower the bin handle on top of the bin lid. 40 Close the cleaner ­ you'll hear the latch click into place. You'll hear a click as it locks into position. checking the filters 42 When you've emptied the bin, check the filters. Blocked filters quickly reduce suction, and they're easy to clean. precautions 43 Spread out some newspaper ­ you're likely to make a mess. [. . . ] 80 Wipe external surfaces of the cleaner with a damp cloth. 81 Wipe the tools and tubes with a damp cloth. 82 A dab of washing-up liquid will remove stubborn stains, but clean it off afterwards, or it may stain. timing 83 Clean the cleaner frequently. If that doesn't solve the problem, don't take the cleaner back to the place you bought it ­ they won't be able to fix it. [. . . ]
