Frequently Asked Questions - Beno Eta

How do I assemble the vacuum cleaner?

Connect the hose to the suction vent until it clicks. Attach the telescopic tube to the hose handle. Then attach desired nozzle (floor, crevice, etc.) to the tube. Adjust tube length by pressing the lock pin and sliding.

How do I replace the dust filter?

Press the lid lock to open the lid. Lift the filter lock and remove the old dust filter. Insert a new filter by sliding the front part into the holder until it clicks. Close the lid; it will lock only if filter is properly inserted.

When should I replace the micro-filters?

Replace the suction micro-filter and exhaust micro-filter after about 5 dust filter changes. To replace, open the respective compartments and pull out the old filter, then insert a new one.

Why does the vacuum cleaner have reduced suction?

Possible causes: dust filter full, micro-filters clogged, suction control set to minimum, or nozzle/hose/tube blocked. Check and clean or replace filters, set control to maximum, and clear blockages.

How do I use the floor nozzle on hard floors?

If the floor nozzle has a retractable brush, pull it out by switching the flap when vacuuming hard floors to avoid scratching. For carpets, retract the brush.

What does the full filter indicator mean?

When the colored field is permanently displayed on the indicator with the floor nozzle lifted at maximum suction, the dust filter must be replaced. Ignore changes during vacuuming.

How do I store the vacuum cleaner?

Store the vacuum cleaner at a dry place away from heat sources. You can disassemble accessories or leave them attached and hang them on the back or bottom of the vacuum cleaner. Set floor nozzle to carpet position to protect bristles.

Can I vacuum wet surfaces?

No. Do not vacuum wet or moist floor coverings. Moisture can damage the aggregate and voids warranty. Use only for dry vacuuming.

How do I wind the power cord?

Press the cord rewinding button. Hold the plug to prevent lashing. If the cord is twisted, straighten it first. If it doesn't retract fully, pull out about 50 cm and press the button again.

What should I avoid vacuuming?

Avoid sharp objects, hot ashes, flammable items, grease, and fine dust like cement or plaster. These can damage filters or the vacuum cleaner. Also do not insert body parts or objects into openings.

- Do not vacuum wet or moist floor coverings, do not use the vacuum cleaner for outdoor areas! When moisture gets into the aggregate, there is a risk of its damage and disabling it. This defect is not covered by the warranty.

- Vacuum cleaning of some carpet types may result in generating static electricity. No static electricity discharge is dangerous to health.

- Do not vacuum sharp objects (e.g. glass, shatter), hot, flammable, explosive items (e.g. ash, hot cigarette butts, gasoline, thinners and aerosol vapours) or greases (e.g. fats, oils), caustic agents (e.g. acids, solvents). Vacuuming these objects may lead to damage of the dust filters, or the vacuum cleaner.

- Do not insert fingers or other things to input and output vents of the appliance. If the openings/elements for air flow are clogged (e.g. the hose), turn the appliance off and clear the clogging.

- The vacuum cleaner is not suitable for vacuuming substances that can harm the human health.

- Pores of the dust filter may be clogged when vacuum cleaning very fine dust (e.g. fine sand, cement dust, plaster). Thus, air permeability will be reduced and the suction performance will drop. In this case the dust filter + micro-filters must be changed, even if the dust filter is not full yet.

- Always switch off the vacuum cleaner first and unplug the power cord from power supply and only then replace the dust filter and the micro-filters, clean the vacuum cleaner or its accessories.

- The power cord is marked with colour codes. The yellow strip indicates the ideal cord length, the red strip indicates the maximum cord length. Do not apply force to unwind the cord beyond the red mark.

• Do not run over the power supply cord when using the vacuum cleaner and do not unplug it from the socket by pulling the power cord.
• When winding the cord, hold the plug to prevent the cord from lashing around, causing possible injury.
