Before You Begin

This cleaner is designed for domestic household cleaning of DRY dirt and dust from carpets, flooring, walls, and fabrics. It is not suitable for industrial use, which will void the manufacturer's warranty.

Please read these instructions thoroughly to ensure you get the best performance from your cleaner. Keep this manual in a handy place for future reference.

Important: Always switch off and unplug the cleaner from the electricity supply before cleaning, maintenance, or when not in use. Ensure the cleaner is connected to an AC supply matching the rating plate voltage. Use only for its intended purpose.

3. [sharp object warning] Before turning on the vacuum cleaner, remove any large or sharp objects from the floor or cleaning surface to prevent damage to the filter.
