How to Operate/Accessories
NOTE: For passing over obstacles or vacuuming on
thick carpets, place the cleaner in its vertical parked
position and pass the cleaner over the obstacle by
tilting the cleaner.
4. If vacuuming needs to be paused briefly bring the
vacuum cleaner into its vertical locking position.
The brushbar switches off automatically to prevent
any damage to the carpet (Fig.4/4). To resume
vacuuming tilt the cleaner back and the brushbar
will switch on again automatically.

Motor Thermostat
IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a thermal
cut out. If, for any reason the vacuum cleaner should
overheat, the thermal cut-out will automatically turn
the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the wall outlet and turn off the switch.
Check for blockages. Remove the dirt container and
empty. Allow the vacuum cleaner to cool for
approximately one hour. To restart, plug into a wall
outlet and switch back on. If the vacuum cleaner still
does not start, contact Vax Care on 0870 6061248.

Accessories/Dirt Container & Filter: Removal & Replacement
Stair tool: To clean curtains, use the stair tool
(Fig.5/9). Air vents in the tool reduce the suction.

into the stretch hose tube. This can be done
manually or by switching on the vacuum cleaner,
covering the end of the tube with a hand and
pressing the hose release button. The resulting low
pressure pulls the stretch hose back into the tube
automatically (Fig.5/10).
