Operating Instructions

General Use

To turn the vacuum on, slide the power switch to the 'ON' position. To turn it off, slide the switch to the 'OFF' position. The vacuum is designed for both wet and dry cleaning tasks.

Dry Cleaning

For dry debris such as crumbs, dust, or pet hair, ensure the wet pick-up nozzle is removed (if attached) and the filter is clean and dry. Position the nozzle over the debris and activate the vacuum. Move the vacuum slowly over the area to ensure thorough cleaning.

Wet Cleaning

For liquid spills, attach the wet pick-up nozzle (if included in your accessory kit). Ensure the dust container is empty before picking up liquids. Do not exceed the maximum liquid fill line indicated on the dust container. After picking up liquids, always empty and clean the dust container and filter immediately to prevent odors and maintain performance.

Maintenance

Emptying the Dust Container

For optimal suction performance, empty the dust container after each use or when the debris reaches the 'MAX' fill line. To empty:

1. Ensure the vacuum is turned off.
2. Press the release button to detach the dust container from the main body.
3. Carefully remove the filter assembly.
4. Empty the contents of the dust container into a waste bin.
5. Reassemble the filter and dust container, ensuring they click securely into place.

Cleaning the Filter

The washable filter should be cleaned regularly to maintain suction power. For best results, clean the filter after every 5-10 uses, or more frequently if vacuuming fine dust.

1. Remove the dust container and filter as described above.
2. Tap the filter gently over a waste bin to dislodge loose dirt.
3. Rinse the filter under running water until the water runs clear. Do not use hot water or detergents.
4. Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it into the vacuum. Using a wet filter can damage the motor.
