5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

Press the power button located on the main unit to turn the vacuum cleaner on. Press it again to turn it off.

5.2 Suction Modes

The FLAMA 1646FL typically features multiple suction modes (e.g., Standard, Max). Use the mode selection button to switch between modes based on your cleaning needs. Higher suction modes consume more battery power.

5.3 Cleaning Surfaces

• Hard Floors: The motorized floor brush is effective on hard surfaces. The LED lights illuminate dust and debris for thorough cleaning.
• Carpets: The motorized floor brush is also suitable for low-pile carpets. For deeper cleaning on carpets, consider using the Max suction mode.
• Above-Floor Cleaning: Detach the extension tube and use the main unit with the crevice tool for tight spaces or the 2-in-1 brush tool for upholstery, curtains, or car interiors.

5.4 Battery Indicator

The battery indicator lights on the main unit show the remaining battery life. Recharge the vacuum when the indicator shows low battery.

6. Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner.

3. Open the dustbin lid and empty contents into a trash can.
4. Close the lid and reattach the dustbin to the main unit.

6.2 Cleaning Filters
