Setup and Assembly

1. Unpacking

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts listed below are present:

• Vacuum Cleaner Unit (Drum and Motor Head)
• Flexible Hose
• Telescopic Metal Wand
• Floor Nozzle
• Crevice Tool
• Dusting Brush
• Cloth Filter (pre-installed or separate)

2. Assembly Steps

1. Attach the Flexible Hose: Insert the larger end of the flexible hose firmly into the suction inlet on the main vacuum unit until it clicks into place. For blowing function, insert the hose into the air outlet port.
2. Connect the Telescopic Wand: Attach the smaller end of the flexible hose to the wider end of the telescopic metal wand.
3. Attach the Floor Nozzle: Connect the desired cleaning attachment (e.g., floor nozzle) to the narrow end of the telescopic wand.
4. Install the Cloth Filter: Ensure the cloth filter is properly installed inside the drum for dry vacuuming. For wet vacuuming, remove the cloth filter.

Operating Instructions

1. Dry Vacuuming

• Ensure the cloth filter is securely in place.
• Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (220V).
• Press the power switch (usually located on the motor head) to turn on the vacuum cleaner.
• Begin vacuuming the desired surface. The powerful suction will effectively pick up dust and debris.
• When finished, turn off the power switch and unplug the appliance.

2. Wet Vacuuming

This vacuum cleaner is capable of picking up liquids. Follow these steps for wet cleaning:

• Important: Remove the cloth filter before wet vacuuming to prevent damage.
• Ensure the drum is empty and clean.
• Plug in the vacuum cleaner and turn it on.
• Carefully vacuum up spills or liquids. Do not exceed the maximum liquid fill line indicated inside the drum.
• After wet vacuuming, empty the drum immediately and clean it thoroughly to prevent odors and mold.

3. Blower Function

The vacuum cleaner also features a blower function, useful for clearing debris from hard-to-reach areas or blowing leaves.

• Locate the air outlet port on the motor head (opposite the suction inlet).
• Insert the flexible hose firmly into the air outlet port.
• Turn on the vacuum cleaner. Air will now be expelled from the end of the hose/attachments.

Maintenance and Care
