discolouration
66 The HEPA filter will discolour with use. This is normal, and won't affect it's
performance.
check the pre-motor filter
67 While the bin is out, pick the pre-motor filter out of
its housing with a fingernail, and check it.
68 If it's dirty, it can be washed in warm, soapy water.
69 Leave it to air dry for 24 hours before replacing it.
70 Replace it white side up.
check the outlet filter
71 Press the top of the latch, pull the top of the filter
holder away from the front of the cleaner, and have a
look at the back of the filter.
72 If it's clean, push it back till the latch clicks into place.
73 If it's dirty, lift it up and away from the cleaner.
74 Move the bottom of the filter up and out of the
hooks on the inside bottom of the filter holder.
75 Pull the top of the filter out, then down, to clear the
hooks at the top of the filter holder (these hooks
point downwards).
76 Wash the filter in warm, soapy water, and leave to air dry for 24 hours before
replacing it.
77 To replace, push the top hooks through the slits in the top of the filter, then tuck the
bottom of the filter under the hooks in the bottom of the filter holder.
78 Locate the tabs in their holes in the front of the cleaner, push the top of the filter
holder back into the cleaner till the latch clicks into place.
replace the bin
79 Tilt the bin forwards, then lower the bottom front of
the bin over the lug at the front of the cleaner.
80 Push the top of the bin towards the cleaner, so the bin
pivots on the lug, and the bin handle goes into the big
gap at the rear of the cleaner.
81 Close the door.

general cleaning

Switch the cleaner off and unplug it before cleaning.
Don't put any part of the cleaner in a dishwasher.
Don't use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
timing
The amount and frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of use the cleaner gets,
and the amount of time you can spare. Basically, the better you look after it, the longer
it'll last. Keep an eye on it as you use it. Clean the filters when you empty the bin. If
anything else needs cleaning, do it there and then, don't put it off, in case you forget.
