Tube extension (18)

Always use the extension tube (18) with thetelescopic tube (17) when cleaning floors. Theextension tube (18) may also be used betweenthe tools and hose handle to increase the reachof the tools.

Combination floor nozzle (19)

Press the rear of the brush adjustment switch (20)down to lower the brushes for use on hard-floors.

Press the front of the brush adjustment switchdown, to lift the brushes for use on carpets.

Turbo nozzle (21) (certain models only)

The turbo nozzle (21) is especially useful forcleaning hairs, fluff and fibre from carpets. Alwaysset the suction to maximum when using the turbonozzle.

Attach the turbo nozzle to the telescopic tube(17) for floor cleaning or to the hose handle (15)for stair cleaning.

With use, hairs and fibres may become wrappedaround the rotating brush and may impair itsperformance. To remove these hairs and fibres,first switch off the cleaner, remove the turbonozzle from the telescopic tube or hose handle,turn the turbo nozzle upside down and thencarefully cut through the fibres to allow them tobe pulled from the brush.

IMPORTANT: When the turbo nozzle is attachedto the cleaner, keep the nozzle on the floor.Make sure people and pets do not come intocontact with the rotating brush. Also keep thebrush away from loose fabrics etc which maybe pulled-in and entangled by the brush.

Rotating the suction power dial (10)anti-clockwise reduces the suction power for thecleaning of delicate objects and fabrics. Turnclockwise for maximum suction for flooring. Thecentre ECO setting may be used for generalcleaning, eg. furniture and upholstery.

The suction power may also be controlled in useby using the hose handle suction control (14).

To increase safety when the cleaner is used onstairs, the wheels will not rotate backwards whenthe front of the cleaner is lifted. However, usersshould always keep hold of the cleaner whencleaning stairs. When the cleaner is horizontal,the wheels will rotate in both directions.

If, with just the hose attached, and the productswitched on at maximum, this indicator showsred, the bag is full and must be replaced.

The dust bag full indicator (5) senses when theair-flow is restricted and it may show redintermittently during use if the hose-end or nozzleis temporarily blocked, this is normal.

If the indicator shows consistently red and thedust bag does not appear full, check the nozzles,hose and tube for potential blockages.

Changing the dust bag1. Open the dust bag compartment lid (3) by

pressing the open button (2) and lifting the lid upuntil it locks into the open position.

2. Lift the dust bag holder handle and then lift theholder with dust bag from the cleaner.

3. To remove the dust bag from the holder, slide thecardboard collar side-ways.

4. Fold over the flap to cover the hole in the dustbag.

5. Dispose of the dust bag in your normal householdwaste.

Replacing the dust bag 1. To fit a new dust bag, slide the cardboard collar

of the new dust bag into the slots of the holder.

The straight end of the collar must be slid in first,so that the cardboard closure tab is on the sameside as the red safety lock, when the holder isrefitted into the cleaner.

2. Slide the holder with bag, into its location slots atthe front of the cleaner.

Replacement dust bags may be purchased fromour Helpline or Website. It is important that onlygenuine Morphy Richards replacement dust-bagsare used, otherwise the performance of thecleaner could be seriously impaired.

NOTE: It is very important the dust bag is fittedthe correct way around.

The red safety-lock mechanism ensures that thedust bag compartment lid can never be closedwithout a dust bag fitted. A dust bag must befitted to allow the lid to close.

The dust bag

Dust bag full indicator


After use, the product may be stored vertically.Make sure the cord is fully rewound and thetelescopic tube (17) is retracted to the minimumsize. Attach the floor nozzle parking hook into theslot on the bottom of cleaner to hold thehose/tube assembly.

The guarantee may be invalidated if the motor isdamaged due to: using the appliance withoutthe filters installed; not cleaning the filters; ornot replacing damaged filters.

Cleaning the motor protection filter Whenever the dust bag is changed, the motorprotection filter must be checked and cleaned.This is especially important if there has been aleak/tear in the dust bag and dust has enteredthe dust bag compartment.

This filter is located inside the dust bag / filterscompartment, next to the dust bag (to access,see point 1 of ‘Changing the dust bag’ on page8).

1. Pull the tab at the top of the filter cage to openthe cage and access the filter.

2. To clean, shake the filter thoroughly.

After 5 dust-bag changes, the filter must bereplaced with a new filter. If the filter is notcleaned and regularly replaced the performancewill be impaired.

IMPORTANT: Never use the cleaner without themotor protection filter fitted.

5. Return the motor protection filter to its housingand replace back into the vacuum cleaner,ensuring the motor protection filter cage issecurely in place.

Changing the exhaust filter The exhaust filter must be checked every timethe dust bag is replaced. We recommendchanging after every five dust bag changes.

This filter is located inside the dust bagcompartment, above the motor protection filter(to access, see point 1 of ‘Changing the dust bag’on page 8).

To replace, lift the filter from its location and thenrefit the new filter.

The product has lost suction powerCheck the settings of the suction power dial (10)and the hose handle suction control (14).

Check the dust bag, if fine dust has been suckedup, eg. talcum powder or plaster dust, this willquickly block the pores of the dust bag so thedust bag will need to be replaced even though itmay not appear full.

Check the motor protection filter. Clean or replaceas necessary.

Check the hose, tube and nozzles for anyblockage. Operate the product with/without eachitem to note if there is any difference in thesuction/sound caused by hidden blockages, eg.in the hose. Clear the blockage to restore fullsuction power.

The floor nozzle seems hard to push orsticks to the floor Check the pedal on the combination floor nozzle(19) is set for the correct floor type, ie. brushes upfor carpets, brushes down for hard-floors.

Check the suction power dial (10) is set to theappropriate setting.

The wheels do not seem to rotate See ‘Stair-lock wheels’ on page 7.
