the filter and stand. Wash the filter
in clean water and allow to dry fully

Cleaning the suction hose:
If suction is reduced it may be
caused by a blockage in the suction
tube.
To remove a blockage, unplug the
vacuum cleaner and return to the
upright position. Pull out the
suction tube from the connection to
the vacuum cleaner by the suction
ring, being sure to hold the handle
with one hand to stabilise the
vacuum cleaner.
Remove the blockage carefully,
ensuring you do not damage the
suction hose. Once removed, insert
the suction hose back into the pipe
and turn on the vacuum cleaner to
check the blockage has cleared.
