Before using this appliance for the first time, please read this instruction manual carefully and keep it for future reference. Failure to use the appliance in accordance with these instructions releases FLAMA from all liability.

If you pass the appliance on to a third party, ensure this manual is included. Any use not in line with the instructions provided may result in damage to the appliance or personal injury.

This appliance is intended exclusively for domestic use and is not suitable for industrial or outdoor environments.

Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge (including children), must not use this appliance without supervision or instruction from a responsible person to ensure safe and correct operation.

Do not touch the plug or any live parts of the appliance with wet hands to avoid the risk of electric shock.

Do not use damaged chargers or plugs. Contact an authorised customer service centre for support or replacement. (Unauthorised repairs are prohibited.)

Keep ventilation openings and moving parts away from long hair, loose clothing, fingers and other body parts. Do not point the suction tube or accessories towards eyes or ears, and do not insert them into the mouth.

In case of electrical leakage, overheating, or abnormal noises or smells (such as low suction power), immediately switch off the appliance and contact authorised after-sales service.

Only use the charger supplied with the appliance. Using other chargers may result in battery failure or dangerous overheating. If the appliance will not be used for a long period, disconnect it and unplug it from the socket.

After each use, empty the dirty water tank and ensure the suction tubes are clear. Blockages may cause motor overheating and reduce the appliance's lifespan.

Store the appliance in a dry place. Moisture may compromise insulation and shorten the life of electrical components.

Do not immerse the cable, main body, brush or charger in water or wash them directly, as they contain electrical components.

Regularly check that the suction nozzle is free from blockages. Debris build-up may reduce cleaning efficiency.

Ensure the appliance is turned off before replacing the motorised brush.

Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Always contact authorised technical support.

All technical data and information in this manual are the property of our company or a certifying body and are subject to our final interpretation.

SCOPE OF USE

This appliance is suitable for hard indoor flooring, including: vinyl, stone, rubber, marble, granite, terrazzo, solid wood, laminates, bamboo, and flat surfaces such as glossy or ceramic tiles. Effectiveness may be reduced on uneven floors.

Do not use the appliance near or on flammable or explosive materials. Risk of fire or explosion.

Do not use the appliance near open fireplaces or heaters to avoid deformation of the appliance's structure.

Do not vacuum substances at high temperature (e.g. lit cigarettes, matches or hot ashes), very fine materials (lime, cement, sawdust, plaster, ashes, coal), hazardous substances (solvents, detergents), chemical compounds (acids or alkalis), or substances of uncertain physical properties.

Do not use the vacuum to collect unauthorised detergents, kerosene, petrol, alcohol, paint or perfumes, as this may cause short circuits, fires or explosions.

Do not vacuum printer or photocopier toner — risk of fire or explosion.

Avoid vacuuming sharp or solid objects such as broken glass, small toys, pins, clips, stones, plaster or large paper pieces, as they may block or damage the appliance.

Stains with high viscosity or strong colouring agents (e.g. bitumen, paint or pigments) are not covered by this appliance's scope of use.

USE OF CLEANING DETERGENTS

Excessive amounts of cleaning solution in contact with the motor may present a hazard.

Only use cleaning detergents in accordance with the instructions. We recommend using cleaning products provided by our company or an authorised supplier, free from acidic or alkaline substances and environmentally harmful ingredients.

Keep cleaning products out of reach of children. In case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical attention immediately.

Observe local environmental protection regulations when disposing of dirty water and cleaning agents.

Do not dismantle or modify the appliance without authorisation. No components are user-serviceable. Any attempt to modify may result in an accident.

Using a charger with specifications different from those stated may damage the battery and cause injury.

The correct rated voltage is indicated on the label located on the back of the appliance.

If the dirty water tank is full, avoid shaking or tipping the appliance, as water may seep into the motor or internal components.

Take extra care when cleaning stairs to avoid falls.

While operating, avoid lifting or excessively tilting the appliance. If moving the appliance without using it, switch it off.

After use, rest the appliance against a wall to prevent falls or tripping hazards.

Ensure both clean and dirty water tanks are correctly fitted before switching on the appliance.

NOTE – For safety reasons, the appliance does not operate in upright position.

Press the On/Off button to begin operation.

During use, make slow and steady back-and-forth movements to ensure effective cleaning. Avoid vacuuming foamy liquids as this may affect performance.

Keep the handle at least 30 cm above the floor when tilted; otherwise, residual water from the waste tank may enter the tubing.

Press On/Off again to switch off – the appliance will run for a few seconds to rinse the motorised brush.

The appliance includes a pause switch and vertical lock mechanism; placing the main body in upright (rest) position will stop operation.

After use, place the appliance back on the Charging base.

The appliance will clean the tubing and motorised brush – the process takes about 1 minute.

For a deeper clean, use the included cleaning brush to remove debris from the appliance tubes and brush.

Tips:

Ensure the clean water tank is at least 30% full before starting self-cleaning.

After self-cleaning, empty and rinse the waste tank, and clean any debris from the Charging base if necessary.

WASTE TANK CLEANING

Remove the waste tank from the appliance.

Open the lid and empty both liquid and solid contents.

Rinse the tank and solid waste trap with clean water.

Rinse the lid and HEPA filter, and dry completely before reinstalling.
