Frequently Asked Questions - Stormy Car 1517 90000 Eta

How do I empty the dust container?

Press the container lock button (A6) to remove the dust container (B). Open the cover using the cover lock button (B2) and dispose of the dirt. Clean the container with a damp cloth and let it dry before reinserting.

How often should I clean the filters?

It is recommended to clean filters every time you empty the dust container. If you vacuum fine dust, the filter pores may clog faster, requiring more frequent cleaning.

Can I vacuum liquids with this vacuum?

No, this vacuum is designed for dry vacuuming only. Do not vacuum water, liquids, or wet surfaces to avoid damage and risk of electric shock.

What is the function of the turbo brush (C3)?

The turbo brush is for vacuuming carpets and upholstery. It has a rotating brush that agitates dirt. For maintenance, cut tangled hairs with scissors and clean the brush cylinder.

How do I pair the remote control with the vacuum cleaner?

Switch on the vacuum cleaner. Press and hold buttons D2 and D3 simultaneously until suction power indicators flash, then press and hold E1 until the vacuum switches off. The remote should then work.

What accessories are suitable for parquet floors?

Use the parquet nozzle (C4a or C4b) which is specifically designed for delicate hard floors to avoid scratches.

How do I replace the HEPA filter?

Remove the exhaust grid (A10) to access the HEPA filter (A11). Gently shake it out or rinse under lukewarm water. Allow it to dry completely before reinserting. Replace after max 3 washes.

What should I do if the suction power drops?

Check if the dust container is full or if the filters are clogged. Clean or replace the filters, and empty the container. Also check for blockages in the hose or tube.

Is it safe to vacuum animal hair?

Yes, but do not use the turbo brush for animal hair treatment. Use the special nozzle for animal hair (C5) if available. Avoid touching the rotating brush with hands.

How do I maintain the telescopic suction tube?

Clean the telescopic tube (C11) and suction hose (C10) with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling to prevent mold or damage.

• With the remote control you can switch the vacuum cleaner ON or OFF and regulate the suction power. The light indicator E4 comes on every time the remote control transmits a signal (when a button is pressed).

Pairing the remote control with the vacuum cleaner

If the remote control does not communicate with the vacuum cleaner, the following procedure must be applied:

1. Switch on the vacuum cleaner.
2. Press and hold the D2 and D3 buttons simultaneously until the suction power indicator lights start flashing consecutively.
3. Then press and hold button E1 until the vacuum cleaner switches off.
4. The remote control should then perform its function as usual.

V. REMOVING THE DUST CONTAINER AND FILTERS

Caution

• Maximum suction performance can be achieved when the filters are clean and the dustbag is empty.
• Every time you empty the dust container, we recommend that you also clean the filters.
• When you are vacuuming very fine dust, the filter pores might get clogged. This reduces the air flow and the suction performance deteriorates. In such a case, the filters need to be cleaned even though the container is not full yet.

DUST CONTAINER REMOVAL

When taking out the dust container B follow the procedure indicated in Fig. 4. Dispose of dirt contained in the dust container with regular household waste. An emptied and cleaned container is to be put back into the vacuum cleaner in reverse order.

INPUT FILTER REPLACEMENT

To remove the input filter, follow the procedure indicated in Fig. 4. To fit a new input filter in the vacuum cleaner, proceed in reverse order.

OUTPUT FILTERS REPLACEMENT

To remove the input filter, follow the procedure indicated in Fig. 3. To fit a new output filter in the vacuum cleaner, proceed in reverse order.

VI. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Treat surface of the appliance with a soft and damp cloth, do not use coarse and aggressive detergents!

Accessories

After any vacuuming it is recommended to check visually the brushes or collectors for possible impurities. If there are some impurities, remove them.

Cleaning the TURBO nozzle C3 (Fig. 8)

Cut the threads and hairs with scissors. Turn on the vacuum cleaner. The cleaner vacuums the cut hairs and threads. In case hairs or threads got tangled up around the attachment of the brush cylinder and cannot be removed with the above-mentioned steps, it is necessary to remove them with a suitable tool (e.g. tweezers). For simpler and more comfortable maintenance, remove the upper cover by releasing the locking latches on the sides. At the same time, make sure no dirt is stuck on the inner side of the nozzle (i.e. turbine). Release the two arrest latches on the bottom side of the nozzle in the direction of the arrow and remove the cover. Clean the space with a suitable tool (e.g. tweezers). Insert the covers back into the nozzle reversely and close it with by folding it up (you hear an audible click).

Dust container

Clean the dust container with a wet

cloth. Allow all the parts to dry out properly before re-use.

Input and output filters

Rinse the filter A12, B4, B5, B7 under running water. Allow them to dry out properly before their re-use. Shake out the HEPA filter A11 gently, or blow it out. If the HEPA filter is very dirty, you can rinse it under running lukewarm water. Allow it to dry out properly.

Caution

• Do not clean the HEPA filter or the other filters with any aggressive washing or cleaning detergents or hot water.
• In order to maintain the filtering parameters of the HEPA filter, we recommend that you use a dry method of cleaning.
• If you clean the HEPA filter with water, its filtration properties will deteriorate. The filter cannot be washed more than three times. After that, a new filter needs to be purchased.
• If the filters are not cleaned or replaced, it might result in damaging the vacuum cleaner!

Other parts

Clean the telescopic suction tube C11 and suction hose C10 with a wet cloth. Allow all the parts to dry out properly before re-use.

More extensive maintenance or maintenance requiring intervention in the inner parts of the appliance must be carried out by professional service!

Failure to comply with the instructions of the manufacturer will lead to expiration of the right to repair!
