[. . . ] It won't drag you into the cleaner, 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, burst the bag, 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. 7 Store and use the cleaner out of reach of children. [. . . ] It has spaces for the small brush, crevice tool, and fabric tool. tubes 14 Fit the extendable tube to the nozzle for floors, carpets, or hard to reach places: a) push the tube release towards the narrow end of the tube, and keep it pressed b) pull out as much of the inner tube as you need ­ if you're done, push it back c) return the tube release to the locked position 15 Push the wide end of the extendable tube on the end of the nozzle. 16 Choose a tool, and push it on the narrow end of the tube. suction control 17 There are two ways to control the suction: a) The suction control on top of the cleaner ­ slide it towards max to increase the cleaning power, towards min to decrease the power. b) The suction control on the nozzle ­ move it away from the nozzle for maximum suction, towards the nozzle to reduce suction. plug in caution If you've accidentally pressed the on/off switch, the cleaner could come on when you plug it in. This could give you a bit of a start, so be careful. 18 Plug the cable into a socket near the area to be cleaned (switch the socket on, if it's switchable). 19 Press and release the on/off switch 3, to turn the cleaner on. switching on cleaning 20 Move the tool over the surface, cleaning a small area at a time. 21 When you move to a new area, overlap the previous area, to make sure none of the surface is missed. switching off 22 If you've finished, if you want to change tools, or if you just want to stop, press and release the on/off switch 3, to turn the cleaner off. 23 Press and release the on/off switch 3, to turn the cleaner off. 25 Stand clear of the cable, and press the cable rewind button C, the cable will rewind. 26 Keep clear of the cable, as it rewinds at a fair lick. If it catches on anything, stop pressing, and it'll stop rewinding. 27 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. 5 finished cleaning? indicator window 28 A red bar will move into the indicator window if the bag is full, or if there's a blockage. Stop, switch off, unplug, replace the bag, or clear the blockage. remove the bag 29 You don't have to replace the bag after each use, but you do have to keep an eye on the indicator, and change the bag when it's full, otherwise you'll choke the cleaner. 30 Switch off, unplug, and leave the cleaner for a minute, to let the dust settle. 31 Squeeze the locks on the hose end, and pull the hose out of the cleaner ­ this'll keep the hose out of your way. 32 Squeeze the door release towards the hose inlet, and raise the door, to expose the bag. 33 Grip the top of the cardboard mount, and slide it up and out of the bag holder, then lower the bag gently into the dustbin. . , Don't handle the bag ­ if you squeeze it, you'll eject the contents over your newly cleaned floor. 34 Don't try to empty the bag and reuse it. The bag takes quite a pounding from the suction of the cleaner, and from the dust and dirt hitting its walls. Oils from your skin will weaken it further, so it might burst inside the cleaner. check the pre-motor filter 35 While the bag's out of the way, you should check the pre-motor filter. [. . . ] 59 Wipe the extendable tube and hose with a damp cloth. Use a dab of washing-up liquid to remove any stubborn marks. Remove all trace of the washing-up liquid, and check they're dry before refitting. Don't put them in water, you'll damage them. timing 60 Clean the cleaner frequently. [. . . ]
