• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Ultenic U16 Flex.

6.1 Emptying the Dustbin

• Close the dustbin lid and reattach it to the main body until it clicks.

6.2 Cleaning Filters

The Ultenic U16 Flex features a 6-layer filtration system, including an H11 HEPA filter. Regular cleaning of filters is crucial for maintaining suction power and air quality.

• Remove the dustbin and then carefully remove the internal filters (metallic filter, cyclone, pre-motor HEPA filter).
• Tap the filters gently to remove loose dust.
• Rinse the washable filters under cold running water until the water runs clear. Do not use detergents.
• Allow all filter components to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reassembling. Do not use a dryer or other heating devices.
• Reassemble the filters and dustbin in reverse order.

6.3 Cleaning the Brush Head

The anti-tangle brush system helps prevent hair from wrapping around the roller, but occasional cleaning may still be necessary.

• Ensure the vacuum is off and disconnected from power.
• Release the brush roller from the brush head (refer to the brush head diagram for specific release mechanism).
• Remove any tangled hair or debris from the brush roller and the brush head cavity. A pair of scissors may be used carefully to cut through stubborn tangles.
