CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Clean the outer surface of all parts with a damp cloth and a cleaner suitable for plastics. Make sure no
moisture gets into the appliance.
2. Over the course of time dust and dirt can accumulate around the wheel axles, thereby preventing the
wheels from turning easily. Consequently they should be kept clean.
ATTENTION:
• Never immerse the appliance, plug or power cord in water.
• Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to
clean the appliance.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Changing the dust bag (see figure 7)
1. Change the dust bag immediately once the 'dust bag full' indicator turns red, see Figure 7.
2. Open the cover by pulling the cover release (dust bag) upwards. Remove the dust bag from the holder,
and dispose of it in a dustbin.
3. Fit a new dust bag in the holder and press into position.
4. Close the cover, and press until it clicks into place.
ATTENTION:
• It is possible that the indicator turns red whilst the dust bag is not yet full. If so, then the nozzle, hose or
tubes may be blocked. These will then need to be cleaned.
• Make sure that the dust bag does not become pinched by the cover. This could damage the appliance
and/or the dust bag.
• Dust bags for this vacuum cleaner are available from every major hardware store, with a statement of
the type number Bestron D000132.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Cleaning or replacing the motor safety filter (see figure 8)
Clean or replace the motor safety filter at least twice a year, and more frequently if the filter is visibly blocked.

3. Open the cover by pulling the cover release (dust bag) upwards. Remove the dust bag, see Figure 7.
Remove the motor safety filter holder, located behind the dust bag: see Figure 8.
4. Dispose of the filter, or wash it in lukewarm water. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
5. Return the cleaned or new filter to its holder, and fit the holder in the appliance. Fit a dust bag. Close
the cover, and press until it clicks into place.
ATTENTION:
• Water could penetrate into the appliance if the filter is not thoroughly dry. This could result in (electrical)
damage.
• Make sure that the dust bag does not become pinched by the cover. This could damage the appliance
and/or the dust bag.

3. Rinse the filter in lukewarm water. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
4. Return the cleaned filter to the appliance. Close the cover, and press until it clicks into place.
