Machine Care
Operating Instructions
The manufacture of safe and dependable machinery is not simply a question of checking
procedures at the end of the production line. It is reliant upon in-built quality at design
WPU 140 stage and rigid control on the specification of every component part.
As owner/operator of a Premiere machine, continued reliability and performance now
depends upon the care taken in keeping your machine well maintained.
The plug of the supply cord shall be removed from the socket-outlet before cleaning
the appliance or undertaking maintenance operations.
• The power cord has to be regularly inspected for signs of damage. If the power supply
cord is damaged, it has to be replaced.
• After use, the whole machine, including the cable, should be cleaned with a DAMP
cloth using a dilute solution of Premiere M.P.9. Multi-purpose cleaner. All surfaces
should then be polished with a clean duster untiI dry.
• DO NOT use acid descalers, abrasives or powerful solvents such as paint strippers,
which may scratch, etch or dull surfaces.
• Accessories should be cleaned with a DAMP cloth using a dilute solution of Premiere
M.P.9. Multi-purpose cleaner.
• Store in a dry place.
• To ensure efficient motor cooling and maximum suction , disposable paper bags or re-
useable cloth zip bags should be changed or emptied frequently. Both grill filters (if
used) and cloth filter should be regularly shaken, vacuumed or hand washed. If
washed do not attempt to refit until completely dry. The wet filter should be regularly
cleaned by rinsing under a tap.
• Continued use during a voltage increase will cause overheating and may result in the
motor burning out. If a noticeable increase in voltage supply occurs, it is advisable to
switch off and investigate.
GB
• Mini vacuum units are designed for dry use only. Any attempt to pick up liquids such
as Coffee spillages may irrepairably damage the motor and create an electrical hazard.
• Attempting to operate your machine without both the cloth filter, paper dust bag or
re-usable cloth zip bag is ill advised and may result in poor suction performance and
possibly premature motor failure.
• The socket-outlet is only for use with approved accessories supplied from Premiere
Products. Use of the socket for other purposes may result in electric shock.
• The Mini vacuum units are also suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels,
schools, hospitals, factories, shops and offices for other than normal housekeeping
purposes.
Warning
• The plug should not be subjected to undue stress by pulling on the supply cord.
• The following appliances are double insulated and should not be earthed: WPU 140.
• A 230V power supply is required for the use of a 3 pin fused plug.
• Fuse rating 13 amp.
• If the plug fitted to the appliance is not correct for your socket outlets it should be cut
off and the correct plug fitted. DESTROY the removed plug which will be dangerous if
plugged into a live socket.
• For moulded plugs, replacement fuse covers must be the same colour as the one
originally supplied. NEVER use with fuse cover omitted.
Cables and Extension leads
Each machine is designed for use with a specified cable. Similarly the specification and
length of any extension lead is critical to the safe and efficient operation of all Premiere
machines. We strongly advise that only cables and extension leads supplied by Premiere
are used. See Guarantee section.

clockwise - DIAGRAM 2.
• Tilt machine backwards until handle of chassis rests on floor and base of machine is
exposed.
• Offer up floating head and locate bellows (A) over inlet spigot (B) - DIAGRAM 3.
• Align location shafts (C) with guides (D) in floating head cover and gently push floating
head into position - DIAGRAM 3.
• Place machine in upright position.
• Holding floating head in position locate handwheels (A) on location shafts (B) and rotate
clockwise to secure - DIAGRAM 4.
• Place blanking connector (A) onto inlet socket (B) on vacuum container - DIAGRAM 5.
