Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner.
1. Emptying the Dust Tank
The vacuum features a 500 ml capacity dust tank. Empty the tank after each use or when it reaches the MAX fill line. To empty, detach the dust tank from the handheld unit and dispose of the contents into a waste bin. Reattach securely.
2. Cleaning the Jalisco Brush
Periodically check the Jalisco brush head for tangled hair or debris. To clean, remove the brush from its housing (refer to the product diagram for specific release mechanisms) and carefully cut away any tangled hair or fibers. Reinsert the brush securely.
3. Filter Cleaning
The Parallel Cyclone System uses a disk filter. Regularly clean the filter to maintain suction power. Remove the filter from the dust tank and tap it gently to dislodge dust. If necessary, rinse the filter with water. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinserting it into the vacuum cleaner.
4. Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid completely draining the battery frequently. Store the vacuum in a cool, dry place. If storing for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged.
