Remarks and Precautions

Battery Usage

• If the vacuum does not work after recharging, replace the battery. If it still doesn't work with a new battery, contact a Samsung service center.
• When purchasing a battery from a Samsung service center, verify the authentic Samsung logo and battery name (VS20T75 series: VCA-SBT90 / VS15T70 series: VCA-SBT90E).

CAUTION

• Do not disassemble the battery or wall mount.
• Do not apply heat to the battery or dispose of it in fire.
• The battery is designed exclusively for this appliance; do not use it for other electronic devices or purposes.
• Removing the battery during use may cause the appliance to malfunction.
• For safety reasons, if the battery is removed while the vacuum motor is running, it may not function for 30 seconds after reinstallation.
• Battery charging time and usage duration may decrease with increased use. Replace the battery when it no longer charges or depletes quickly.
• Use only the manufacturer-provided wall mount and batteries.
• Before inserting the battery, ensure it is inserted in the correct direction.
• Dispose of used batteries in designated collection boxes for recycling.
• If you do not plan to use the vacuum for an extended period, detach the battery.
• When installing the battery, insert it until it clicks. This indicates it is securely fixed. Otherwise, it may fall and cause injury or damage.
• Do not slide, drop, or shock the battery.
• Do not disassemble the battery and avoid short-circuiting the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.
• Battery leaks may occur due to intensive use or extreme temperatures. If liquid contacts your skin, rinse the affected area with water immediately. If it contacts your eyes, rinse with clear water for at least 10 minutes and consult a doctor.
• To protect the motor and battery, the vacuum cannot operate at temperatures below 5°C or above 45°C.

Operation

NOTE

• If excessive force is applied to a brush or a foreign object is lodged in the rotating brush (drum), the brush may stop to protect the motor or vacuum. Turn off the vacuum, remove the foreign object, and turn it back on. If it doesn't turn on, turn it off and on again.
• Static electricity may occur due to humidity, temperature, or floor type. If this happens repeatedly, contact a Samsung service center.
• Fully charge the battery:
• Before first use of a new battery or after prolonged non-use.
• When the battery level indicator is low and blinking.

• If you do not plan to use the vacuum for an extended period or will be away from home, unplug the wall mount and remove the battery. Batteries slowly discharge when not charged or in use.
• When the battery level is low, charge it. Prolonged low battery levels can degrade battery performance.
• Gently clean reusable microfiber cushions of the double motorized mop by hand with cleaning soap.
• If microfiber cushions are exposed to heat or fabric softener, they may be altered, reducing performance.
• Reusable microfiber cushions can be machine washed. However, boiling temperatures may alter or discolor the cushion, reducing performance.
• Use genuine Samsung Electronics microfiber cushions specifically for the double motorized mop.
• If the double motorized mop is used without microfiber cushions, any appliance malfunction will not be covered by warranty, and repair costs will be charged.
• When purchasing additional double motorized mops with reusable microfiber cushions, contact a Samsung service center.
• When purchasing additional disposable cleaning wipes, check the model name: VCA-SPA90.

CAUTION

• When the rotating brush (drum) inside a brush is operating, do not touch the brush. Otherwise, your hand may get caught, causing injury.

Maintenance

NOTE

• Sometimes, brush wheels may scratch the floor. Before using the vacuum, check the condition of the brush wheels.
• If foreign objects are present on the brush wheel and cannot be easily removed, contact a Samsung service center.
• If the internal part of the double motorized mop is obstructed by a large foreign object, the rotation speed will decrease or the appliance will stop rotating.

CAUTION

• Storing the vacuum in direct sunlight for extended periods may cause deformation or discoloration. After cleaning, dry parts in the shade.
• Do not clean the vacuum brush with water. Doing so may cause deformation or discoloration.
• Before cleaning the wall mount, unplug it.
• If you notice a gradual decrease in suction power or abnormal overheating, replace the ultra-fine particle filter.
