Setup
- Unpack the Appliance: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Inspect for Damage: Check the vacuum cleaner and all accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
- Assemble the Dust Cup and Filter: Ensure the dust cup and HEPA filter are securely installed in their designated positions. The filter should be placed with the "UP" side facing upwards.
- Connect Power: Plug the 5-meter long power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (120V~, 60Hz). The appliance is corded and requires continuous power during operation.
Operating Instructions
- Power On: Press the power button located on the handle to turn on the vacuum cleaner. The LED screen will illuminate.
- Select Mode: Use the mode selection buttons on the LED screen to choose between "Strong" and "Soft" suction settings. The screen will also display the "Dust Index" in real-time, indicating the level of dust on the surface.
- Activate UV Light: The UV light will automatically activate when the two pressure sensors on the bottom of the unit are pressed against a flat surface. This ensures safe operation and prevents accidental UV exposure.
- Utilize Hot Wind: The 149℉ hot wind function will activate automatically during operation to help dry and fluff fabrics.
- Cleaning Surfaces:
- For mattresses, pillows, and cribs: Move the vacuum cleaner slowly and evenly across the surface. The high-frequency tapping and powerful suction will work to dislodge and remove dust mites and allergens.
- For couches, sofas, and stuffed toys: Apply the same slow, even motion. The smart dust sensor will help you identify areas that require more attention.
- For carpets (short pile only): Use the vacuum cleaner to pick up surface dust and pet hair. Note that it is not suitable for long velvet or long fluff carpets.
- Monitor Dust Index: The LED screen's dust index will change from "Dirty" (higher numbers) to "Clean" (lower numbers, ideally "00") as the surface becomes cleaner.
- Power Off: Press the power button again to turn off the vacuum cleaner when finished.
