Operating Instructions
Dry Vacuuming
- Ensure the dry filter is properly installed and the dirt tank is empty.
- Select the appropriate nozzle for the surface (e.g., floor brush for hard floors/carpets, crevice tool for tight spaces).
- Turn the power switch to the "ON" position.
- Move the nozzle slowly over the surface to be cleaned, allowing the vacuum to pick up dust and debris.
- After use, turn the power switch to "OFF" and unplug the unit.
Wet Vacuuming (Spill Slurping)
- Remove the dry filter and ensure the foam filter is in place.
- Ensure the dirt tank is empty before starting.
- Select the appropriate wet nozzle (if provided) or use the standard floor nozzle.
- Turn the power switch to the "ON" position.
- Slowly move the nozzle over the liquid spill to suction it into the tank. Do not overfill the tank.
- The vacuum will automatically stop suctioning when the tank is full to prevent overflow.
- After use, turn the power switch to "OFF", unplug the unit, and immediately empty the liquid from the tank.

Maintenance
Emptying the Dirt Tank
- Always unplug the vacuum cleaner before emptying or cleaning.
- Release the latches on the side of the unit and lift off the motor head.
- Carefully empty the contents of the stainless steel dirt tank into a waste bin or drain.
- Rinse the tank with water if necessary and wipe dry before reassembling.
Filter Cleaning
- Dry Filter (HEPA Filter): Tap the filter gently to dislodge dust. For thorough cleaning, rinse under cool running water. Allow to air dry completely (24-48 hours) before reinstallation. Do not use the vacuum with a wet filter.
- Foam Filter (Wet Vacuuming): Rinse under cool running water and squeeze out excess water. Allow to air dry completely before storage or next use.
General Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior of the vacuum cleaner with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Check hoses and attachments for blockages regularly and clear them if found.
