Frequently Asked Questions - VP-4320 Concept

How do I empty the dust container?

Press the release button on the dust container and pull it out. Hold it over a trash bin and press the bottom latch to empty. Rinse the container with water and let it dry before reinserting.

How often should I clean the HEPA filter?

Clean the HEPA filter at least once a month. If you notice reduced suction, clean it more frequently. Rinse under running water and let it air dry completely for 24 hours before reinserting.

The vacuum has no suction. What should I check?

First, check if the dust container is full and empty it. Next, inspect the filters for clogs and clean them. Also examine the hose and attachments for blockages. If the problem persists, check for a full bag or a blocked brush roll.

Can I use the vacuum on hardwood floors?

Yes, the VP-4320 is suitable for hardwood floors. Use the brush nozzle without the rotating brush or select the appropriate setting to avoid scratching. The adjustable suction helps prevent damage.

How do I change the brush roll?

Unplug the vacuum. Turn the vacuum over and remove the cover of the brush roll housing. Lift out the old brush roll, remove any hair wrapped around it, and insert the new one. Replace the cover securely.

What does the thermal protection do?

The thermal overload protection automatically shuts off the vacuum if it overheats, preventing damage. If this happens, turn off the vacuum, unplug it, and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before restarting.

How long is the power cord?

The power cord is 6 meters long, allowing a generous cleaning radius. For longer reach, use an extension cord rated for the vacuum's power.

Is the HEPA filter washable?

Yes, the HEPA filter is washable. Rinse it under lukewarm water without detergent. Squeeze gently and let it air dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. Do not use a hairdryer.

Can I vacuum liquids with this model?

No, the VP-4320 is designed for dry vacuuming only. Using it to pick up liquids can damage the motor and void the warranty. Use a wet/dry vacuum for liquids.

Where can I buy spare parts?

Spare parts such as filters, brush rolls, and accessories are available from authorized Concept dealers or online through the official Concept website. Use only genuine parts for optimal performance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Assembling the vacuum cleaner

NOTE

Always turn off the unit and disconnect the plug from the mains outlet prior to mounting or removing accessories!

Accessories

1. Wet vacuuming nozzle

Serves as a spatula for vacuuming of liquids

1. Slot nozzle

The combined slotted adapter is designed for vacuuming areas with difficult access, such as radiators, slots, corners, pedestals, spaces between upholstery, and so on.

1. Nozzle with a brush

This nozzle is designed for furniture, upholstery, books, lamps, and so on.

Charging the accumulator

Before the first use, or after the accumulator is depleted, let the unit charge for about 5.5 hours.

To charge the accumulator, place switched off unit in the charging base, connect the power cord, and connect the adaptor to wall outlet.

If you want to preserve the accumulator's service life, charge it only after it is depleted.

The service life is about 150–200 charging cycles.

Note: Charging indicator glows red if the unit is in the charging base, and the connected adaptor is connected to a wall outlet.

The time of operation of the unit after the accumulator is fully charged is about 11 minutes.

Using the vacuum cleaner

NOTE

The unit can be used for both dry and wet vacuuming.

Prior to using the vacuum cleaner, please make sure that the filter and the water separator have been installed properly.

1. Take the unit out of the charging base.

2. Turn the unit on using the switch

3. Use the wet vacuuming nozzle for wet vacuuming: it works as a spatula, and the unit sucks liquid when moving backwards. Move the unit very carefully to prevent the liquid getting into the motor. Do not shake or turn over the unit. The water separator just prevents the liquid from being sucked inside the motor, but it doesn't protect the motor from liquids (Fig. 1).

The maximum volume of sucked liquid is about 150 ml. When a larger volume is sucked in, the liquid starts running out of the nozzle.

1. Release the switch after use, and the unit will turn off.

Checking the dust receptacle content level

If the suction power is decreased, or the dust receptacle is full, empty it and clean the filter

MAINTENANCE

As a preventive measure, we recommend emptying the dust receptacle and cleaning the filter of the vacuum cleaner after each use.

Emptying the dust receptacle

1. Disconnect the charging adaptor from the wall outlet.

2. Hold the unit with the dust receptacle pointing downwards.

3. Release the dust by pressing the pawl.

4. Take out the water separator, and empty the dust receptacle.

5. Follow the reverse procedure to put back the water separator and filter, and install the dust receptacle.

Cleaning and replacing the permanent filter

This filter can be cleaned by mechanical shaking and cleaning with a soft brush. A heavily fouled filter can be washed after this step and cleaned with a soft brush in lukewarm water. Do not use detergents. It is important to let the wet parts dry thoroughly. A wet filter would be damaged if used for vacuuming! Do not use a hair dryer for drying!

Note: Wet cleaning can cause more wear and tear of the filter, and a correspondingly shorter service life.

- The filter should be cleaned or replaced whenever it is visibly fouled, or when the suction power decreases. The filter should be checked after each use of the vacuum cleaner.

- Never use the vacuum cleaner without a properly installed filter and water separator to avoid damage to the appliance.

- A suitable filter type is available at your local retailer, or it can be ordered from the manufacturer.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The vacuum cleaner and its accessories can be cleaned with a wet cloth. Do not immerse the power cord, charging adaptor, or appliance into water or any other liquid. Do not use aggressive substances for cleaning, such as solvents or abrasives!

The customer must submit proof of having concluded a purchase contract for the product by producing the receipt.

While fi ling their complaint, the customer must indicate the noted defect and identify the preferred complaint application method.

Complaints processing

As long as the noted defect may be removed, the user has the right to have the defect duly removed free of charge on a timely basis.

On returning the product (withdrawing from the contract) the customer must return any accessories and documents supplied along with the product.

The customer does not have the right to keep the defective parts and components of the product replaced as part of a repair of the product.

This shall be without prejudice to any other rights the customer may have in relation to the purchase of the product.
