Cleaning Modes and Usage
The ERICAT Cordless Vacuum Cleaner offers dual-use functionality, allowing it to be used as a traditional stick vacuum or a handheld unit. It is suitable for various surfaces, including hard floors, and is effective for pet hair.
- Stick Vacuum Mode: Use with the extension rods and floor brush for cleaning large floor areas. The flexible brush head can reach under furniture and into dark areas.
- Handheld Vacuum Mode: Detach the extension rods and attach the brush or dual-purpose suction nozzle directly to the main machine. This mode is ideal for cleaning sofas, car interiors, keyboards, and tight gaps.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner.
Emptying the Dust Cup
The vacuum cleaner features a 700ml clean dust cup. To maintain strong suction and prevent fine dust from returning to the air, empty the dust cup regularly. The triple dust filter system separates large debris and fine dust effectively.

Cleaning the Filter Element
The high-density filter element is crucial for preventing secondary air pollution. Wash the filter regularly to maintain strong suction power. The screen component of the filter is detachable and washable, reducing the need for frequent consumables replacement.
- Remove the filter element from the dust cup.
- Separate the screen from the filter element.
- Rinse both the screen and the filter element under running water until clean.
- Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling and placing them back into the vacuum cleaner. Ensure they are thoroughly dry to prevent mold or damage.
