peel the black foam filter out of the cover and wash in warm water, make sure it is dry before re fitting

The other filter is found inside the dust box and is the hepa filter. This filter has been designed to catch microscopic dust particles so will need to be dusted out regularly and washed in warm water from time to time. We recommend that you replace this hepa filter at least once per year to ensure that you continue to get the maximum suction from the cleaner. Filters can be purchased by clicking on the spares section of this web site.

Start by removing and emptying the dust box. Press the release button at the top of the dust container and take to your dustbin or a bin bag. Press the catch at the top and the flap at the bottom will open releasing  the dust. Shake the container to remove all of the dust inside.

Switch the cleaner on and press the brush control switch to 'on' - Push the button indicated in the picture with the green arrow. (the brushes will only spin if switched on)

Look through the clear window to see if the brushes are rotating. If they are not turning round, the cleaner will not pick dirt and debris up and this may be due to the belt breaking or a build up of debris around the brushes.

Before doing any further checks please UNPLUG the cleaner from the electricity supply.

To get to the belt turn the cleaner over and prize out the 2 little roller wheels as shown. The screws for the brush cover are found underneath the wheels. Flick them out with a flat screwdriver.

use a screwdriver to push out the wheels there are 2 - one on each side, keep these somewhere safe.

Using a standard Phillips head screwdriver loosen the 2 screws found in the wheel recess.

Once the two screws have been removed pull the brush cover off. Check the belt has not broken (shown on the left in the above picture) If its broken replace with a new belt which can be purchased from the spares section on our website or ringing our dedicated spares team. Clean any build up of hair or threads around the brushes which will stop your Velocity cleaner from picking up effectively so remove anything tangled up in there.

The mid way setting will switch the cleaner on but only give suction, push it down to the bottom setting to switch on the brushes. A build up of hair and debris tangled up around the brush roll will stop the cleaner picking up or may completely jam the brush and prevent it from turning.

Check the floor brush is not blocked

If the cleaner is not picking up with the floor nozzle then the reason for this is it may have become blocked. Take the floor brush off the extension tube and examine it for any debris that may have got stuck in it. Look in the tubing and the hole in the bottom of the nozzle to see if it is blocked up. If it is then clear out any debris and try again. If the brushes on it are worn or the litter picker strip is worn away then the pick up with the brush may be poor. To purchase a new one please look on the spares pages of our website.

To keep the cleaner working efficiently and effectively the filters will need to be cleaned regularly. There are 2 filters on the cleaner the first of which is inside the dust box. Start by removing the dust container from the product by pressing the release button on the top of the container, place over your dust bin or bin bag and press the catch on the bottom of the container that will open the flap and allow the dust to escape. Give the container a shake to help release all of the dust and dirt.

bin off empty

Once the container is empty put your hand up inside the container, grasp the bottom of the filter and twist anti clockwise to release the filter and remove from the bottom of the dust container.

Once removed from the dust container, slide the mesh screen off the hepa filter  and give them both a good dusting with a brush. The hepa filter is designed to capture microscopic dust particles and allergens, for best results wash it in warm water and allow 24 hours for it to dry thoroughly before re fitting. We recommend you replace this filter once per year and you can easily purchase new filters from the spares section on our web site. Why not have a spare ready to pop in the cleaner when the original is drying out after washing? That way you can continue your house work straight away!

The second filter is the exhaust filter which can be found at the rear of the cleaner where the warm air escapes. Unclip the cover, peel the foam filter out and rinse under warm water. Ensure that it is dry before popping it back in to the cleaner. Keeping both filters clean and regular replacements will make your cleaner pick up effectively and deliver a good suction power.

To check the hose for a blockage simply remove it from the cleaner, hold it upright and drop a coin down through the hose from the top. If the hose is blocked the coin will not drop out of the hose.

If the coin appears at the other end then its unlikely the hose is blocked.

drop a coin down the hose

If the coin remains inside the hose then there is something stuck inside the hose. This will reduce the suction power and the cleaner will not pick up. Push a broom handle down the hose to carefully push out the obstruction or blockage.
