Instructions for Use

Before First Use

Before using the Quick Vac Lite for the first time, clean it with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the Quick Vac Lite in water or any other liquid.

Using the Telescopic Extension Tube

The Quick Vac Lite comes preassembled. If there are any hard to reach or narrow areas, the telescopic extension tube is ideal. The accessory attachment nozzle needs to be fitted into position on the air inlet (1), followed by the telescopic extension tube (2) and lastly, the required cleaning attachment (3).

[Diagram: Shows the main unit, extension tube, and nozzle being connected in sequence.]

Using the Floor Brush

1. Fit the accessory attachment nozzle onto the air inlet, followed by the telescopic extension tube.
2. Push the floor brush attachment onto the end of the telescopic extension tube.
3. Adjust the telescopic extension tube to the required length by pressing the telescopic extension tube button down and sliding out the tube.
4. Select which position on the floor brush is required for the floor type by pressing the switch forwards or backwards. Switching it forwards lifts the brushes for use on carpet and switching it backwards lowers the brushes for cleaning hard floors.

[Diagram: Shows the floor brush with a switch. One image shows the switch forward (brushes up) for carpet. Another image shows the switch backward (brushes down) for hard floors.]

Using the Crevice/Brush Tool

1. Fit the accessory attachment nozzle onto the air inlet, followed by the telescopic extension tube, if using.
2. Push the crevice/brush tool onto the end of the telescopic extension tube or onto the end of the accessory attachment nozzle if the telescopic extension tube is not being used.
3. Select which attachment is to be used by rotating the head to either the crevice or the brush setting.
4. Turn on the Quick Vac Lite by pressing the ‘ON/OFF' switch down.

Note: The crevice tool is ideal for removing dust and dirt from folds in fabrics, radiators, corners, recesses or other places that are hard to reach. The small brush is good for cleaning curtains, shelves, books and other delicate objects.

Emptying the Dust Tank

1. To turn the Quick Vac Lite off, press the ‘ON/OFF' switch down.
2. Unplug the Quick Vac Lite from the mains power supply.
3. Remove the dust tank by pressing the dust tank release switch and pulling the dust tank away from the Quick Vac Lite.
4. To empty the dust tank, release the dust tank hatch by pressing the dust tank empty lever down whilst holding it over a bin or rubbish bag. Shake the Quick Vac Lite dust tank gently to remove any remaining dust.
5. To close the dust tank again, simply push the lid closed until it locks back into place.

Care and Maintenance

Wipe the external surface of the Quick Vac Lite with a soft, damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly. Do not use any detergents or harsh cleaning agents to clean any part of the Quick Vac Lite. Ensure that the filter is kept clean and is cleaned after every removal of the dust tank. To clean the inside of the dust tank, it is possible to remove the centre filter.

Cleaning the Removable Filter

1. The removable filter can only be accessed when the dust tank is open. Remove the dust tank by pressing the dust tank release switch and pulling it away from the Quick Vac Lite. Remove the lid from the dust tank by rotating it anticlockwise and lifting it off.
2. Pull the filter housing away from the dust tank by using the handle. When the filter housing has been removed from the dust tank, the removable filter can be taken out of the filter housing.
3. Shake off the removable filter until the majority of the dust has been removed, then wash the removable filter under clean, warm water and allow it to dry thoroughly.
4. Once the removable filter has dried fully, slot it back into the filter housing and replace the filter housing into the dust tank.

Note: Do not clean the removable filter using detergent. Note: Do not use external heat sources, such as a radiator to dry the removable filter.

Connection to the Mains

Please check that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with your supply voltage.

Important

As the colours in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, please proceed as follows:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

• Blue Neutral (N)
• Brown Live (L)

FOR UK USE ONLY - Plug fitting details (where applicable).

The wire coloured BLUE is the NEUTRAL and must be connected to the terminal marked N or coloured BLACK.

The wire coloured BROWN is the LIVE wire and must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured RED.

On no account must either the BROWN or the BLUE wire be connected to the EARTH terminal (⏚).

Always ensure that the cord grip is fastened correctly.

The plug must be fitted with a fuse of the same rating already fitted and conforming to BS 1362 and be ASTA approved.

If in doubt consult a qualified electrician who will be pleased to do this for you.

Non-rewireable mains plug

If your appliance is supplied with a non-rewireable plug fitted to the mains lead and should the fuse need replacing, you must use an ASTA approved one (conforming to BS 1362 of the same rating).

If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician who will be pleased to do this for you.

If you need to remove the plug - DISCONNECT IT FROM THE MAINS and then cut it off the mains lead and immediately dispose of it safely. Never attempt to reuse the plug or insert it into a socket outlet as there is a danger of an electric shock.
