Setup

Before using your vacuum cleaner, ensure all components are present and assembled correctly.

2. Attach Handle: Insert the handle into the main body of the vacuum cleaner until it clicks securely into place.
3. Connect Hose: Attach the flexible hose to the designated port on the vacuum cleaner. Ensure it is firmly connected to prevent loss of suction.
4. Insert Dustbin: Ensure the 3L dustbin is correctly seated and locked into position.
5. Attach Accessories: Store any included accessories (like the turbo head or crevice tool) on the vacuum cleaner's onboard storage points for easy access.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe operation of your vacuum cleaner.

Powering On and Off:

Switching Between Floor and Hose Suction:

Your vacuum cleaner features an adjustable suction type for different cleaning needs.

• Floor Cleaning: For general floor cleaning (carpets and hard floors), ensure the suction selector is set to 'FLOOR'. The main brush head will engage.
• Hose Cleaning: For cleaning upholstery, stairs, or hard-to-reach areas, switch the selector to 'HOSE'. This diverts suction to the flexible hose.

Using Attachments:

• Turbo Head: Attach the turbo head to the end of the hose for effective cleaning of textile surfaces like sofas, pet beds, and car interiors.
• Crevice Tool: Use the crevice tool for narrow spaces, corners, and edges.
• Dusting Brush: Ideal for delicate surfaces, curtains, and shelves.

2. Locate and remove the HEPA filter from the dustbin assembly.
3. Tap the filter gently over a trash can to remove loose dust.
