Product Overview

The Proscenic P8 is a cordless stick vacuum cleaner designed for domestic household use. It offers versatile cleaning for various surfaces and is equipped with a rechargeable battery for convenient operation.

Key Components: The appliance typically includes a main motor unit with a dustbin, a wand for extended reach, various cleaning tools (e.g., crevice tool, brush tool), and a floor head, often with a motorised brush bar. A docking station is provided for charging and storage.

Operation

Ensure the appliance is used and stored upright. Tipping it over may release dirt and debris.
Do not operate while checking for blockages.
For domestic indoor and car use only. Do not use while the car is in motion.
The appliance features carbon fibre brushes. Handle with care to avoid minor skin irritation; wash hands after contact.

Docking Station Installation

Mount the docking station securely using appropriate hardware for your wall type. Ensure no pipes (gas, water, air) or electrical cables are behind the mounting area. Installation must comply with local regulations. Protective clothing and eyewear are recommended.

Cleaning Floors

General: Before cleaning, consult manufacturer's recommended instructions for your flooring.
Carpet/Hard Floors: The brush bar may damage certain floor types or cause carpets to fuzz. If fuzzing occurs, use without the motorised floor tool and consult your flooring manufacturer. Ensure the floor tool and brushes are free from foreign objects before cleaning highly polished floors to prevent scratches.
Stairs: Exercise extra care when cleaning stairs.
Waxed Floors: The cleaner head's movement may create uneven lustre. Wipe with a damp cloth, polish with wax, and allow to dry.

The appliance has one washable filter.
Remove the filter by lifting it from the top of the appliance.
Wash regularly with cold water until water runs clear.
Squeeze and twist with both hands to remove excess water.
Lay on its side to dry completely for at least 24 hours.
Do not put the filter in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave, or near a naked flame.

Clearing Blockages

Disconnect from charger before checking for blockages. Do not pull the 'ON' trigger.
Turn the appliance OFF before checking. Failure to do so may result in injury.
Beware of sharp objects.
To access floor tool blockages, remove the base plate by loosening a screw with a coin.
If obstruction persists, remove the brush bar using a coin to unlock a fastener. Remove obstruction.
Replace brush bar and secure firmly.
Wash hands after handling carbon fibre brushes.
Refit all parts securely before use.
Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.

Blockages – Thermal Cut-Out

The appliance has an automatic thermal cut-out. If large items block tools/nozzle, the appliance may overheat and shut off. Allow 1-2 hours to cool down before checking filter or blockages. Clear any blockage before restarting. Ensure appliance is disconnected from charger before checking for blockages.

Charging and Storing

The appliance switches OFF if battery temperature is below 3°C (37.4°F) to protect the motor and battery. Do not charge or store below this temperature.
To prolong battery life, avoid immediate recharging after full discharge; allow to cool for a few minutes.
Avoid using the appliance with the battery flush to a surface to help it run cooler and prolong battery life.
