4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On/Off

• Power Cord: Pull out the power cord to the desired length (up to 6 meters). Do not pull beyond the yellow mark. Insert the plug into a suitable power outlet.
• Switch On: Press the On/Off button located on the main unit to start the vacuum cleaner.
• Switch Off: Press the On/Off button again to turn off the appliance.
• Cord Rewind: After use, unplug the cord from the outlet. Press the cord rewind button to automatically retract the power cord. Guide the cord with your hand to prevent whipping.

4.2 Suction Power Control

The VALBERG CYCLOCLEAN features mechanical suction power regulation. This is typically controlled by an air flow regulator on the hose handle or a slider on the main unit. Adjust the slider or opening to increase or decrease suction power as needed for different surfaces (e.g., lower suction for delicate fabrics, higher for hard floors).

4.3 Using Accessories

• Combination Floor Nozzle: Use the foot switch on the nozzle to switch between hard floor mode (brushes extended) and carpet mode (brushes retracted).
• Crevice Tool / Brush: Detach the floor nozzle and telescopic tube from the hose handle. Attach the crevice tool for narrow spaces or the brush for dusting delicate surfaces.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner. Always unplug the appliance before performing any maintenance.

5.1 Emptying the Dust Reservoir

The dust reservoir has a capacity of 1.8 liters. Empty it regularly, ideally after each use or when the MAX fill line is reached, to maintain strong suction.

1. Locate the dust reservoir release button/latch on the main unit.
2. Press the button and carefully remove the dust reservoir from the main unit.
3. Position the reservoir over a waste bin. Open the bottom lid of the reservoir to release the collected dust and debris.
4. Close the lid securely and reattach the dust reservoir to the main unit until it clicks into place.

5.2 Filter Maintenance (HEPA 10 Filter)

The HEPA 10 filter helps to trap fine dust particles and allergens. It requires regular cleaning to prevent clogging and maintain suction efficiency.

• Pre-Motor Filter: This filter is usually located between the dust reservoir and the motor. Remove it and tap off loose dust. It can often be rinsed under cold running water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
• HEPA 10 Exhaust Filter: This filter is typically located at the rear or side of the vacuum cleaner. Remove it and gently tap off any accumulated dust. Do not wash the HEPA filter unless explicitly stated in the product's specific instructions (which are not provided here, so assume dry cleaning only). Replace the HEPA filter periodically as recommended by the manufacturer (general recommendation is every 6-12 months, depending on usage).

Note: Refer to the specific diagrams in your product's physical manual for exact filter locations and removal procedures.

5.3 General Cleaning

• Wipe the exterior of the vacuum cleaner with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Check the floor nozzle for tangled hair or debris and remove them.
