It is essential to inspect clean the filters regularly. The period
between inspections will depend on how often and for how
long you use the cleaner. The filter and debris screen in
the dust cup should be cleaned whenever you empty
the dust. The motor inlet and exhaust filters should be
checked after every three cleaning sessions.
If the cleaner shows any sign of losing suction, switch off,
check and clean the filters and if necessary, clear any
blockage.
NEVER operate the cleaner with clogged filters, you
could damage the cleaner motor.
If a filter shows any sign of wear or damage, or clogging
that ordinary cleaning cannot remove it should be
replaced. Contact the Tesco helpline number on the last
page of this manual for assistance.
