Power Cord, 2-Wire Polarized Cord
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the charger is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

This vacuum is equipped with two filters. These filters
capture fine dust particles and protect the motor from dirt.
Accumulated dirt will be collected on the filters and may
restrict motor performance. It is important to replace the
filters regularly.
How to Clean the Dust Container Filter
1. To access the filter, remove the filter assembly by
removing the dust container lid. Turn the lid counter-
clockwise until it clicks (Fig. 5).
2. Lift out the filter assembly and disassemble (Fig. 6).
3. Wash the dust container filter in cold water and thoroughly
air dry before replacing.
4. Replace the filter and replace the dust container into
the vacuum.
How to Replace the Exhaust Filter
The exhaust filter is located underneath the dust container.
1. Remove the dust container.
2. Remove the exhaust filter cover by turning the lid counterclockwise until it clicks (Fig. 7).
3. Remove the exhaust filter and replace with a new filter (Fig. 7).
4. Replace the filter cover and the dust container into the vacuum.
Note: The exhaust filter cannot be washed or re-used.

The hand-held turbo nozzle (13) and crevice tool
with dust brush attachment (21) may be stored in
the designated spaces (14 & 25 respectively) on
the sides of the vacuum cleaner.
When finished cleaning, switch off the appliance
and remove the plug from the mains supply and

(20/22).
If the cleaner overheats, a motor protection
thermostat will automatically switch the motor
off. If this happens, switch the cleaner off,
unplug from the power supply and leave the
cleaner to cool for at least 60 minutes. Check
the airways for blockages, empty the dust
canister and clean the filters before restarting.
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.

PROTECCIÓN TÉRMICA DEL MOTOR
Esta aspiradora está equipada con un protector térmico diseñado para proteger
la misma del sobrecalentamiento debido a la restricción del flujo de aire (es decir,
una obstrucción en la manguera). En caso de que ocurra esto, el protector térmico
apagará el motor de manera automática para evitar cualquier daño potencial.
NOTA: Para determinar si el protector térmico apagó la aspiradora, verifique la luz
delantera. Si la luz delantera está encendida y el motor está apagado, el protector
térmico apagó el motor de manera segura. Si tanto la luz delantera como el motor
están apagados, existe otro motivo (es decir, una desconexión) por el cual se apagó
laaspiradora.
Cómo Restablecer el Protector Térmico
1. Desenchufe la aspiradora.
2. Permita que la aspiradora se enfríe durante al menos 30 minutos.
3. Verifique que no haya obstrucciones, vacíe el contenedor de polvo y limpie
losfiltros.
4. Conecte la aspiradora a la corriente y comience a usarla.
Si la aspiradora no enciende, envíela a un distribuidor Simplicity autorizado para
recibir mantenimiento.

Afin de réduire le risque de décharge électrique, ce chargeur est équipé d’une fiche à
courant alternatif polarisé (une fiche ayant une broche plus large que l’autre). Cette
fiche entre dans la prise uniquement dans un sens. Il s’agit d’un dispositif de sécurité.

Cet aspirateur est équipé de deux filtres. Ces filtres capturent
les fines particules de poussières et protègent le moteur de
la saleté. La saleté accumulée est recueillie par ces filtres et
peut limiter la performance du moteur. Il est important de
remplacer les filtres régulièrement.
Comment nettoyer le filtre du réservoir à poussières
1. Pour accéder au filtre, retirez l’assemblage du filtre en enlevant
le couvercle protecteur du réservoir à poussières. Tournez
le couvercle dans le sens opposé des aiguilles d’une montre
jusqu'à ce que vous entendiez un clic d'enclenchement (Fig.5).
2. Soulevez l’ensemble du filtre et démontez-le (Fig.6).
3. Nettoyez le filtre du réservoir à poussières à l’eau froide et
laissez-le sécher complètement à l’air avant de le remettre
en place.
4. Replacez le filtre et le réservoir à poussières dans
l’aspirateur.
Comment remplacer le filtre d’évacuation
Le filtre d’évacuation est situé en dessous du réservoir à poussières.
1. Retirez le réservoir à poussières.
2. Enlevez la protection du filtre d’évacuation en tournant le couvercle dans le sens inverse
des aiguilles d’une montre jusqu’à ce vous entendiez un clic d'enclenchement (Fig.7).
3. Enlevez le filtre secondaire usagé et remplacez-le par un filtre neuf (Fig.7).
4. Replacez le filtre et le réservoir à poussières dans l’aspirateur.
Remarque: Les filtres d’évacuation ne peuvent pas être lavés ou réutilisés.

The hand-held turbo nozzle (13) and crevice tool
with dust brush attachment (21) may be stored in
the designated spaces (14 & 25 respectively) on
the sides of the vacuum cleaner.
When finished cleaning, switch off the appliance
and remove the plug from the mains supply and
wind the cord around the cord storage cleats
(20/22).
If the cleaner overheats, a motor protection
thermostat will automatically switch the motor
off. If this happens, switch the cleaner off,

PROTECTION THERMIQUE DU MOTEUR
Cet aspirateur est équipé d’un protecteur thermique conçu pour protéger l’aspirateur
contre la surchauffe due à un débit d’air restreint (en cas d’obstruction du tuyau). Si
cette situation se produit, le protecteur thermique éteint automatiquement le moteur
afin d’éviter tout dommage potentiel.
REMARQUE: Pour déterminer si le protecteur thermique a éteint l’aspirateur, vérifiez le
témoin lumineux. Si le témoin lumineux est allumé et que le moteur est éteint, alors le
protecteur thermique a éteint le moteur. Si le témoin lumineux et le moteur sont éteints,
l’aspirateur s’est arrêté pour une autre raison (p.ex.: câble débranché).
Comment redémarrer le protecteur thermique
1. Débranchez l’aspirateur.
2. Laissez l’aspirateur refroidir pendant au moins 30minutes.
3. Vérifiez qu’il n’y a pas d’obstruction, videz le réservoir à poussières et nettoyez les
filtres.
4. Branchez l’aspirateur et démarrez l’utilisation.
Si l’aspirateur ne s’allume pas, renvoyez-le à un revendeur Simplicity agréé pour le
soumettre à un entretien.
