[. . . ] Once the foam filter is installed, slide the paper bag filter over the top of the foam filter. Use the rubber band to secure the paper filter in position, making sure this fully covers the foam filter, and up to the shoulder of the moulding. A clogged filter can lead to overheating of the vacuum cleaner, periodically lightly brush down accumulated dirt build up on the paper surface with a soft brush. WET PICK UP For wet pick up you only require the foam filter. DO NOT USE THE PAPER FILTER FOR WET PICK UP. You will need to gently clean the foam filter from time to time. This should be gently washed through in warm soapy water until all traces of dirt have been removed. Then rinse through with cold water and allow to dry. NOTE - It is essential that the foam filter is thoroughly dried before installing paper filter. Notes You will need to periodically replace the paper filter bag. A heavy duty combined wet and dry cartridge filter is available as an optional extra. This can be permanently fitted and saves having to change filters for different uses. The cleaner does not collect dry matter into the paper bag filter. This is collected in the main recovery tank. The paper bag is a filter to stop the dust from entering the motor. NEVER OPERATE THIS CLEANER WITHOUT THE CORRECT FILTERS IN PLACE. ASSEMBLING THE HOSE The hose has a swivel connector fitted to one end and an extension tube connector to the other. When using the vacuum facility fit the swivel connector into the inlet in the side of the recovery tank (see illustration). Fit one of the extension tubes into the other end of the hose, making sure you slide this on as far as possible. If required the second extension tube can now be added and either the floor head or the crevice tool fitted into the end. The cleaner can be used without either of these tools if required. 5 WD0046-04-08. qxd 21/7/08 10:54 am Page 6 OPERATION 1) Ensure that the motor housing has been clipped onto the base in the correct position, with the air outlet opposite the vacuum inlet hose. Failure to observe this will allow the filter to foul the internal inlet pipe. 2) Unwind the mains lead fully and connect to the mains or extension lead. Beware of discharged air from the outlet on the motor housing. FLOAT SHUT OFF The cleaner is protected by an automatic shut-off float valve when it becomes full of liquid. This will become apparent to you as the motor will start to make a high pitched noise. If this happens: 1) Switch the unit off. [. . . ] This is the little cover fixed into the base of the plug to hold the fuse in place.
