Operating Instructions
General Operation
- Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Turn the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position to start the vacuum cleaner.
- After use, turn the switch to 'OFF' and unplug the appliance.
Dry Vacuuming
For dry debris, ensure the cartridge filter is correctly installed. Use the appropriate nozzle for the surface. The floor brush is ideal for larger areas, while the crevice nozzle is for tight spaces.
Wet Vacuuming
When vacuuming liquids, ensure the cartridge filter is installed. The vacuum will automatically stop suction when the tank reaches its maximum liquid capacity. Turn off the vacuum, unplug it, and empty the tank before continuing.
Blower Function
To use the blower function, disconnect the flexible hose from the intake port and connect it to the exhaust port (usually located on the back or side of the motor head). Turn on the vacuum to use it as a blower for clearing debris from surfaces.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your vacuum cleaner.
Emptying the Tank
- Turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner.
- Release the quick-release latches on the sides of the motor head.
- Lift the motor head off the tank.
- Carefully empty the contents of the tank into a suitable waste receptacle.
- Clean the inside of the tank with a damp cloth if necessary.
- Replace the motor head and secure the latches.
Filter Cleaning and Replacement
The high-efficiency cartridge filter is washable. Clean it regularly to maintain suction power.
- Remove the cartridge filter from the motor housing.
- Tap the filter gently to dislodge dry dust.
- For thorough cleaning, rinse the filter under running water.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before re-installing it. Do not use the vacuum with a wet filter for dry vacuuming.
- Replace the filter if it is damaged or excessively worn.
Accessory Cleaning
Clean all accessories (hose, tubes, nozzles) after each use to prevent blockages and maintain hygiene. Rinse with water and allow to dry completely.
