Frequently Asked Questions - AS3190 SOLAC

How to empty the dust container of the SOLAC AS3190 vacuum cleaner?

Unplug the appliance. Pull up the handle of the container (8) while pressing the extraction button (16). Place the container above a trash can, then press the automatic opening button (17) to empty it. Close the bottom cover (18) by tilting it forward and pressing until it clicks. Put the container back in place by pushing until it clicks.

How to clean the HEPA filter (21)?

Unplug the appliance. Remove the container (7) then pull the tab of the HEPA filter (21) outward. Shake the filter over a trash can, tapping it lightly until no more dust falls out. Do not wash it in a washing machine. Put it back by pushing it in until it clicks.

How to clean the cyclone metal filter (19)?

Unplug the appliance and empty the container. Remove the cyclone metal filter (19) by turning the piece counterclockwise until the open lock, then pull backward. You can wash it with water. Let it dry completely before putting it back. To reassemble, align the arrow with the open lock, turn clockwise while pressing until the closed lock.

What to do if the container filling light (22) turns on?

This may indicate that the container is full or an object is blocking the hose. Unplug the vacuum, remove the hose, then plug it back in. If the light goes off, the obstruction is in the hose or accessory: clean them. If the light stays on, empty the container and clean the filters.

How to adjust the suction power?

You have two adjustments: electronic with the regulator (2) on the appliance, and mechanical by opening or closing the device on the handle (11). Adapt the power according to the surface (carpet, hard floor, etc.).

How to use the multi-use brush (14)?

The brush is retractable to adapt to surfaces. Press with your foot on the button (15) to change the position: retracted bristles for hard floors (wood, parquet), extended bristles for carpets and rugs.

How to store the vacuum cleaner after use?

Turn off and unplug the appliance. Wind the cord by pressing the button (1) while holding the plug. Place the vacuum in vertical position and hang the telescopic tube hook (13) in a slot located at the bottom of the appliance (Fig. 1). Accessories can be stored on the support.

Can I vacuum liquids or ashes with this vacuum cleaner?

No, it is strictly forbidden to vacuum incandescent ashes, embers, sharp objects or liquids. This would damage the appliance and pose a risk of fire or electric shock.

How to clean the air outlet filter (5)?

Once to twice a year, lift the carrying handle (3) and open the grille (4) by pulling up the lower tab until it clicks. Remove the filter, shake it well or wash it if very dirty. Let it dry completely. Put the filter back and close the grille by pressing until it clicks.

OPERATION:

• Check that the dust container (7) and filters (5, 19 and 21) are fitted correctly. To do so, see the sections on Cleaning the dust container and cleaning the filters.
• Insert the flexible tube (10) into the suction opening (9) and align the slots in the suction opening with the tabs on the flexible tube until you hear a click. To remove the tube, gently press the flexible tube buttons and pull it out.
• Before using the vacuum cleaner, prepare the accessories for the surface to be cleaned. They snap together with a gentle turn. The heads can be placed directly on the flexible tube (10) or, for out-of-reach surfaces, fit the telescopic metallic tube (12).
• The suction brush (14) on these models can be used for all types of floors, carpets, rugs, etc. Depending on the area to be vacuumed, the brush can be retracted, if necessary. To change the cleaning position of the brush, press the brush button (15) with your foot. We recommend cleaning hard floors, wood and parquet with the fibre brush activated, and cleaning carpets and rugs with the fibre brush hidden.

• This model also includes a suction head for narrow spaces, grooves and corners (25), a head for upholstered surfaces (23) and a special furniture brush (24). These accessories fit directly onto the flexible tube (10) or onto the telescopic metal tube (12).

• The vacuum cleaner can now be plugged in. To do so, pull out the cord and press the button (6) to switch it on. A yellow mark on the cable indicates the ideal length of the cable.

• The suction power can be adapted to the surface to be vacuumed. The suction power can be adjusted mechanically by opening or closing the mechanism on the handle (11) or by means of the electronic power regulator (2).
• Never wash the HEPA filter or any of the other filters in the washing machine.
• If you wish, use the handle (3) to carry the vacuum cleaner while using it to get into difficult places. The protective rubber wheels, the carrying handle and the vacuum cleaner's compact size make it extremely easy to move around.
• When finished, switch the appliance off by pressing button (6). Unplug it and press button (1) to wind up the cord. Hold the cord plug in your hand to prevent it from banging against the vacuum cleaner housing.
• For storage, place upright and insert the clip on the telescopic tube (13) into one of the slots on the bottom of the vacuum cleaner. (Fig. 1)

CLEANING THE DUST CONTAINER:

NOTE: Before starting to clean the container, make sure you have unplugged the appliance.

• Once you have finished using the appliance, we recommend cleaning the container (7), the metallic cyclone filter (19) and the HEPA filter (21).
• The dust container should be emptied when the dust collected in the container reaches maximum capacity level (20). The container full pilot light (22) may come on at times if something becomes lodged in the flexible tube, suction opening or accessory. To find out if that is the case, unplug the vacuum cleaner, remove the flexible tube, and turn the vacuum cleaner on again. If the pilot light does not come on, clean the flexible tube and its attachment.
• When you need to empty the dust container, disconnect the appliance and proceed as follows:
• To remove the dust container (7) pull up the container handle (8) while pressing the container removal button (16) (fig. 2)
• Place the container over the rubbish bin.
• To open the container, press the automatic opening button (17) and empty the dust into the rubbish bin (fig. 3).
• To close the container, move the bottom cover of the container (18) forward and press it upwards until you hear a click that indicates that the container cover is closed correctly (fig. 4).
• Place the dust container back in the vacuum cleaner and push the container flush against the bottom until you hear a click, which means it is in the correct position (fig. 5).

CLEANING THE CONTAINER'S METALLIC CYCLONE FILTER (19) AND ANTI-ALLERGIC HEPA FILTER (21)

Before starting to clean the filter, make sure you have unplugged the appliance.

1. Empty the container before cleaning the HEPA filter (21).
2. To clean the HEPA filter (21), remove the container and pull out the HEPA filter tab (fig. 6).
3. Shake the HEPA protective filter (21) in the rubbish bin, banging it lightly against the sides of the bin until no more dust falls out.
4. Remove the metallic cyclone filter (19) located at the back of the container, turn the wheel counter-clockwise until it stops turning and is aligned with the open lock sign (approx. 90^ ) and pull back on the wheel (fig. 7). You can wash the filter with water. Let the filter dry completely before placing it back in the container.
5. To reinsert the filter, align the arrow with the open lock sign and turn clockwise, as shown in the drawing (fig. 8), while pushing the wheel inwards until the arrow is aligned with the closed lock sign. Once the filter is placed back in position, make sure it is securely fixed to the back of the vacuum cleaner container. Otherwise, incorrect placing of the filter will impede correct operation of the vacuum cleaner.

Important: Never use the vacuum cleaner if the metallic cyclone filter and HEPA filter are not correctly fitted in the container.

CLEANING THE AIR OUTLET FILTER (5)

• The air outlet filter (5) should also be cleaned once or twice a year. To do so, lift the carrying handle (3) and open the air outlet filter grille (4) by pulling the lower tab of the grille (4) upwards until you hear a click (fig. 9) and remove the filter. Shake the filter well, or wash it if very dirty, and allow it to dry completely.
• Important: Never use the vacuum cleaner without the air outlet filter.
• Put the filter and grille back in place. To do so, lift the carrying handle (3) and align the tabs on the air outlet filter cover with the holes located at the top of the vacuum cleaner; press down on the filter grille tab (4) until you hear a click (fig. 10).
