Operating Instructions

3-in-1 Functionality

Your Tower VL30 EVO offers versatile cleaning modes:

• Stick Vacuum Mode: For general floor cleaning on carpets and hard floors. Attach the extension pole and motorised floor head.
• Handheld Mode: Ideal for cleaning cars, stairs, upholstery, and small spills. Detach the main unit from the extension pole and attach the crevice tool or brush tool directly.
• Extended Pole Mode: For reaching high areas like ceilings, curtains, or cobwebs. Use the main unit with the extension pole and a suitable attachment (e.g., brush tool) without the floor head.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner.

Emptying the Dust Bin

Empty the 1-litre dust bin regularly, ideally after each use or when the MAX fill line is reached.

1. Ensure the vacuum cleaner is switched off.
2. Locate the dust bin release button, usually near the main unit.
3. Press the button to detach the dust bin.
4. Position the dust bin over a waste bin and open the bottom flap to release collected debris.
5. Close the flap and reattach the dust bin to the main unit until it clicks securely.

Cleaning the HEPA Filter

The HEPA filter removes 99.95% of fine particles. Clean it regularly to maintain suction power.

1. Ensure the vacuum cleaner is switched off and the dust bin is removed.
2. Carefully remove the HEPA filter from its housing within the dust bin or main unit.
3. Tap the filter gently over a waste bin to dislodge dust and debris. Do not wash the HEPA filter with water unless specified by the manufacturer.
4. If washable, rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting. Do not use a dryer or direct heat.
5. Reinsert the dry HEPA filter and reattach the dust bin.

1. Ensure the vacuum cleaner is switched off and disconnected from the power source.
2. Detach the motorised floor head from the extension pole.
3. Locate the brush roller access cover, usually on the underside of the floor head. Open it using a coin or screwdriver if necessary.
4. Remove the brush roller. Use scissors to cut away any tangled hair or threads.
