1 Push the hose connector (12) fully into the hose inlet (4) on the vacuum cleaner. To remove, squeeze the release buttons and pull out. 2 The metal telescopic tube (17) may be adjusted in length by pressing down the telescopic tube release button (16). When cleaning floors, the telescopic tube should be fully extended and the tube extension (18) should be fitted between the hose handle (15) and the telescopic tube. Attach the required accessory to the end of the telescopic tube. 3 Always pull out the power cord to its maximum length. Plug the appliance into the mains supply. Push the On/Off button (9) to start the motor. IMPORTANT: Ensure that the appliance is never left unattended whilst it is switched on. Close Open 4 The suction power can be adjusted using the suction power dial (10) or the suction control (14) on the hose handle (15). Closed: full suction Open: reduced suction 5 During short breaks in cleaning, the metal telescopic tube (17) can be held in an upright, ‘standby’ position. Rotate the combination floor nozzle (19) or the turbo nozzle (21) until the lug on the neck can be fitted into the tube standby slot on the rear of the appliance, whilst you move furniture for instance. 6 When you have finished vacuum cleaning, switch off the appliance. Remove the plug from the mains supply and rewind the power cord using the automatic cable rewind button (11). WARNING: When using the automatic cable rewind button, always hold the plug as the power cord will rewind quickly. VC700006 MUK Rev 1.qxp_Instruction Book 03/11/2014 14:49 Page 5

The crevice tool (23) or the upholstery nozzle (24) may be fitted directly to the hose handle (15) or at the end of the tube extension (18) or metal telescopic tube (17). The upholstery nozzle (24), crevice tool (23) and dusting brush attachment (22) are all stored on-board. Lift the tool store cover to access. To use the dusting brush, attach to the end of the crevice nozzle. Unwind the power cord and plug in to the mains outlet as in step 3 of ‘Operating / Assembly’, page 5.

Always use the extension tube (18) with the telescopic tube (17) when cleaning floors. The extension tube (18) may also be used between the tools and hose handle to increase the reach of 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 switch down, to lift the brushes for use on carpets. Turbo nozzle (21) (certain models only) The turbo nozzle (21) is especially useful for cleaning hairs, fluff and fibre from carpets. Always set the suction to maximum when using the turbo nozzle. 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 wrapped around the rotating brush and may impair its performance. To remove these hairs and fibres, first switch off the cleaner, remove the turbo nozzle from the telescopic tube or hose handle, turn the turbo nozzle upside down and then carefully cut through the fibres to allow them to be pulled from the brush. IMPORTANT: When the turbo nozzle is attached to the cleaner, keep the nozzle on the floor. Make sure people and pets do not come into contact with the rotating brush. Also keep the brush away from loose fabrics etc which may be pulled-in and entangled by the brush. Rotating the suction power dial (10) anti-clockwise reduces the suction power for the cleaning of delicate objects and fabrics. Turn clockwise for maximum suction for flooring. The centre ECO setting may be used for general cleaning, eg. furniture and upholstery. The suction power may also be controlled in use by using the hose handle suction control (14). To increase safety when the cleaner is used on stairs, the wheels will not rotate backwards when the front of the cleaner is lifted. However, users should always keep hold of the cleaner when cleaning stairs. When the cleaner is horizontal, the wheels will rotate in both directions.

switched on at maximum, this indicator shows red, the bag is full and must be replaced. The dust bag full indicator (5) senses when the air-flow is restricted and it may show red intermittently during use if the hose-end or nozzle is temporarily blocked, this is normal. If the indicator shows consistently red and the dust bag does not appear full, check the nozzles, hose and tube for potential blockages. Changing the dust bag 1. Open the dust bag compartment lid (3) by pressing the open button (2) and lifting the lid up until it locks into the open position. 2. Lift the dust bag holder handle and then lift the holder with dust bag from the cleaner. 3. To remove the dust bag from the holder, slide the cardboard collar side-ways. 4. Fold over the flap to cover the hole in the dust bag. 5. Dispose of the dust bag in your normal household waste. 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 same side as the red safety lock, when the holder is refitted into the cleaner. 2. Slide the holder with bag, into its location slots at the front of the cleaner. Replacement dust bags may be purchased from our Helpline or Website. It is important that only genuine Morphy Richards replacement dust-bags are used, otherwise the performance of the cleaner could be seriously impaired. NOTE: It is very important the dust bag is fitted the correct way around. The red safety-lock mechanism ensures that the dust bag compartment lid can never be closed without a dust bag fitted. A dust bag must be fitted to allow the lid to close. The dust bag Dust bag full indicator VC700006 MUK Rev 1.qxp_Instruction Book 03/11/2014 14:49 Page 8

Make sure the cord is fully rewound and the telescopic tube (17) is retracted to the minimum size. Attach the floor nozzle parking hook into the slot on the bottom of cleaner to hold the hose/tube assembly. The guarantee may be invalidated if the motor is damaged due to: using the appliance without the filters installed; not cleaning the filters; or not replacing damaged filters. Cleaning the motor protection filter Whenever the dust bag is changed, the motor protection filter must be checked and cleaned. This is especially important if there has been a leak/tear in the dust bag and dust has entered the dust bag compartment. This filter is located inside the dust bag / filters compartment, next to the dust bag (to access, see point 1 of ‘Changing the dust bag’ on page 8). 1. Pull the tab at the top of the filter cage to open the cage and access the filter. 2. To clean, shake the filter thoroughly. After 5 dust-bag changes, the filter must be replaced with a new filter. If the filter is not cleaned and regularly replaced the performance will be impaired. IMPORTANT: Never use the cleaner without the motor protection filter fitted. 5. Return the motor protection filter to its housing and replace back into the vacuum cleaner, ensuring the motor protection filter cage is securely in place. Changing the exhaust filter The exhaust filter must be checked every time the dust bag is replaced. We recommend changing after every five dust bag changes. This filter is located inside the dust bag compartment, 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 then refit the new filter. The product has lost suction power Check the settings of the suction power dial (10) and the hose handle suction control (14). Check the dust bag, if fine dust has been sucked up, eg. talcum powder or plaster dust, this will quickly block the pores of the dust bag so the dust bag will need to be replaced even though it may not appear full. Check the motor protection filter. Clean or replace as necessary. Check the hose, tube and nozzles for any blockage. Operate the product with/without each item to note if there is any difference in the suction/sound caused by hidden blockages, eg. in the hose. Clear the blockage to restore full suction power. The floor nozzle seems hard to push or sticks to the floor Check the pedal on the combination floor nozzle (19) is set for the correct floor type, ie. brushes up for carpets, brushes down for hard-floors. Check the suction power dial (10) is set to the appropriate setting. The wheels do not seem to rotate See ‘Stair-lock wheels’ on page 7. Problems?

Unplug from the mains supply before cleaning. The vacuum cleaner, especially the dust canister and all accessories, can be cleaned using a damp cloth or a non-abrasive domestic cleaner and wiped dry. To keep the underside of the combination floor nozzle (19) clean, vacuum it at regular intervals using the crevice tool (23).
