Dust Filter - Russell Hobbs RHSV1C Instructions Manual

DUST FILTER

• If the dust filter is covered in dust, tap it gently over some newspaper or on the rim of
a rubbish bin to dislodge the dust.
• If it is very dirty, soak the filter in warm soapy water for a few minutes, rinse thoroughly
under a running tap to remove all traces of soap, then let it air dry – do NOT refit until
the filter is completely dry.
MESH FILTER
• Clean any rubbish from the mesh filter.
• If it is very dirty, soak the filter in warm soapy water for a few minutes, rinse thoroughly
under a running tap to remove all traces of soap, then let it air dry – do NOT refit until
the filter is completely dry.
REASSEMBLY
• Ensure all the components are completely dry before reassembly.
• Lower the mesh filter into the bin.
• Place the dust filter into the mesh filter.
• Grip the dust bin with one hand, grip the motor unit with the other, and match up the lugs
on the body with the slots in the dust bin.
• Turn the dust bin anti-clockwise until it clicks into place.
• Check that it is secure.
CLEANING THE MOTORISED ROTATING BRUSH
• Switch the vacuum off. Remove the handheld vacuum from the upright frame.
• Pull out any debris surrounding the motorised brush.
• Carefully use a pair of scissors to remove items such as threads/hair that may have
become entangled around the brush.
• Refit the handheld vacuum to the upright frame and return to the charging station.
BLOCKAGES
• If the vacuum starts to lose suction there may be a blockage, or the battery is depleting.
• Switch the vacuum off.
• Spread some newspaper or an old towel on the floor to avoid making a mess.
• Empty the dust bin.
• Check and clean both filters. (refer to 'Cleaning the filter S' section)
• Check the motorised rotating brush for entangled thread or other debris. (refer
to 'cleaning the motorised rotating brush' section)
• Check the crevice tool for blockages. Remove blockage using a blunt object such
as a pencil to clear the crevice tool passageway.
• Check the lower opening of the upright frame for blockages. It may be necessary
to remove the motorised floor tool to clear the debris from this area.
• Check the performance of the vacuum, and recharge if necessary.
