If you pass the cleaner on, pass on the instructions too. important safeguards Follow basic safety precautions, including the ones below. It's quite a list, but most of them are simple common sense. [. . . ] 43 Unplug the cleaner (switch the socket off first, if it's switchable). 44 Turn the upper cable hook to point upwards, and wind the cable round both cable hooks. removing the bin You don't have to empty the bin after each use, but it's a very good idea. You shouldn't let it get more than about a third full. Your cleaner will happily work till it's full to max, but you'll be wasting energy swirling yesterday's dust around. Energy that could be better used sucking up today's dust. 45 Switch off, unplug, put the cleaner in the upright position, and leave it for five to ten minutes, to let the dust settle. 47 Put your fingers under the bin release, raise it slightly, to unlock the bin, then pull it forward, to lift the bin out of the cleaner. 48 As soon as the bin handle is clear of the cleaner, grip the bin handle, and let go of the bin release. 49 Carry the bin only by the bin handle. If you don't, and the lid comes off, you'll spill the contents all over your newly cleaner floor ­ not a good idea!50 Lower the bottom of the bin into your dustbin, so the dirt can't blow around. 51 Press the "empty" lever beneath the handle, to release the trap, and dump the dirt into the dustbin. 52 Tap the bin, to dislodge any dirt from the corners. 53 Push the trap closed, and check that the lock has engaged with the "empty" lever. 7 check the HEPA filter 54 Hold the bin handle with one hand, hold the lid with the other. 55 Turn the lid about 15mm anti-clockwise, to align the arrow above the handle with the left of the two grooves on the side of the lid. 56 Lift the lid out ­ it may be a bit stiff, as it has the HEPA filter attached to it. 57 Turn it over, so the HEPA filter is on top. 58 If the HEPA filter is dirty, remove it, clean it, and replace it. 59 Don't handle the paper part of the HEPA filter, oils from your skin can cause dust particles to adhere to it. 61 Grip the lid in one hand, grip the end of the HEPA filter in the other, and turn the filter about a centimetre anticlockwise, to release it from the bayonet fittings. 62 Tap the plastic end of the filter gently against the inside of the dustbin, to remove surface dirt from the filter. 63 Hold the HEPA filter under a running tap, so the water runs over the outside surface only. 64 Leave it to air dry for 24 hours before replacing it. [. . . ] You shouldn't need to disturb the brush roller to get to the tube. 12 replace the base 38 This can be done "as is", or, if you find it awkward, try putting the cleaner back into upright mode. 39 Put the front of the base on first, then the rear. 40 Press the rear to engage the clips at the sides. The short screws at the rear of the base, the longer screws towards the front. [. . . ]
