Important Care Advice
The EPV1100 is also a powerful highly efficient vacuum cleaner.The powerful suction will remove
the smallest particles of dust and dirt. To prevent the unit from overheating and to maintain
efficiency the filter MUST BE cleaned regularly.
The waste chamber is transparent to enable you to see accumulated dirt and debris.
When this happens the efficiency of the motor unit is reduced and the waste chamber
must be emptied and the filter assembly cleaned.
A blocked filter will restrict airflow to the motor which can start overheating. This will become
apparent as the noise of the motor will become higher pitch. If this happens stop the unit and then
clean the filter.
As a safety precaution the motor is designed to cut out in the event of overheating.
Please allow the unit to cool sufficiently for up to one hour before restarting.
Emptying the waste chamber and caring for your filter
Disconnect the EPV1100 from the power socket-outlet. Depress the waste chamber release
button (Fig. 13). While holding the release button, separate the chamber from the main body
(Fig. 14), and empty the waste from the chamber by pressing the release button (Fig. 15).
Filter cleaning – we recommend the filter is checked and cleaned each time the waste
chamber is emptied.
The filter has 2 separate parts, an outer pre-filter basket and a pleated filter which fits inside this
basket. The pre-filter will collect larger particles and prevent these from becoming lodged in the
grooves of the pleated filter.
To clean the filter separate the two parts, the pleated filter should easily separate from the
pre-filter, then gently shake, tap or brush the pleated filter to remove dust particles and debris
from the grooves (Fig. 16). The outer pre-filter can be brushed or tapped to remove debris around
the filter (Fig. 17).
Both parts of the filter assembly are suitable for gentle washing in warm (not hot) water. Do not
use detergent. Allow both the pleated filter, and external pre-filter to dry naturally for 24 hours
before refitting to the EPV1100. Ensure all parts have fully dried before reassembly. Only use the
EPV1100 with both parts of the filter assembly in place.
