[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] 14 We suggest the big brush for the daily clean, the turbo for the weekly deep clean. tubes 15 The tubes are identical. The narrow end of a tube will fit into the wide end of the other tube, or into to any of the tools, to provide extra length where needed, for floors, carpets, or hard to reach places: 16 Push the wide end of the tube on to the nozzle. 17 Choose a tool, and push it on the narrow end of the tube, or on the nozzle. 4 suction control 18 There are two ways to control the suction: a) The suction control on top of the cleaner ­ turn it clockwise to increase the cleaning power, anti-clockwise to decrease the power. b) The suction control on the nozzle ­ move it towards the nozzle for maximum suction, away from 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. 19 Plug the cable into a socket near the area to be cleaned (switch the socket on, if it's switchable). 20 Press and release the on/off switch 3, to turn the cleaner on. switching on cleaning 21 Move the tool over the surface, cleaning a small area at a time. 22 When you move to a new area, overlap the previous area, to make sure none of the surface is missed. switching off 23 If you've finished, if you want to change tools, or if you just want to stop for a rest, press and release the on/off switch 3, to turn the cleaner off. 24 Press and release the on/off switch 3, to turn the cleaner off. 26 Stand clear of the cable, and press the cable rewind C, the cable will rewind. 27 Keep clear of the cable, as it rewinds at a fair lick. If it catches on anything, stop pressing, and it'll stop rewinding. 28 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 29 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. 30 There's a "bin full indicator" on top of the bin. It's eye-shaped, and it's just below the bin handle. 31 If it shows red, when suction is at maximum, and the nozzle is off the floor, then you should empty the bin right away. 32 Switch off, unplug, and leave it for a minute, to let the dust settle. 33 Press in the lock on the hose end, and pull the hose out of the cleaner ­ this'll keep the hose out of your way. 34 Lift the bin handle till it stops (about 80 degrees). Then lift the bin up and out of the cleaner. [. . . ] Basically, the better you look after it, the longer it'll last. Keep an eye on it as you use it, and examine the filters when you empty the bin. If anything needs cleaning, do it there and then, don't put it off, in case you forget. blockages 69 No matter how careful you are, sooner or later you'll block the cleaner. don't panic! If the cleaner starts to get noisy and you start to lose suction, don't worry, it's not the end of the world, you've probably just blocked it up. 2 Spread a newspaper on the floor, you're going to make a mess.
