Frequently Asked Questions - Duetta C3-100 IMETEC

How do I switch between stick vacuum and mini-vacuum mode?

To use the mini-vacuum, press the release buttons (5) on the stick to detach it. Attach the desired accessory. For stick mode, ensure the mini-vacuum is clicked into place on the stick body.

How often should I clean the filters?

Clean the dust container and filters after every use to maintain suction. The cyclone filter (8D) and motor filter (8E) should be shaken or brushed clean. Rinse under water if needed, but let them dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting.

What should I NOT vacuum with this appliance?

Do not vacuum burning ashes, cigarette butts, liquids, sharp objects (nails, glass), fine powder (cement, toner), or anything that could damage the motor or filters.

Why does the vacuum cleaner switch off during use?

The vacuum has a protective motor thermostat that shuts off if it overheats (e.g., due to a clogged dust system or obstruction). Turn it off, let it cool for a few hours, and remove any blockages before restarting.

How do I empty the dust container?

Detach the mini-vacuum, press the release key (8A) to remove the dust compartment (8B). Empty the contents, then clean the filters (8C, 8D, 8E) as described in the manual.

What does the combination brush do?

The combination brush (7) has a switch: bristles lowered for hard floors, bristles retracted for other surfaces like carpets or rugs.

How do I wind the power cord?

Turn the upper cable hook (2A) downwards to unwind the cable. After use, wind the cable around both hooks (2A and 2B) and secure the plug with the clamp.

Is the vacuum suitable for pet hair?

Yes, the combination brush and accessories can handle pet hair on hard floors and upholstery. Regular cleaning of the brush and filters is recommended to prevent clogs.

What is the warranty period?

The appliance is guaranteed for 2 years from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects. Proof of purchase is required for service.

Can I use the vacuum without the filters?

No, using the vacuum without the motor protection filter can damage the motor and void the warranty. Always ensure filters are correctly installed.

DISPOSAL

The packaging of the appliance is made of recyclable materials. Dispose of it in accordance with the environmental protection regulations.

Pursuant to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the appliance must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its useful life.

The user must therefore take the appliance to an appropriate recycling centre for electrical and electronic equipment. Alternatively, instead of handling the disposal, the user can hand over the appliance to the retailer when a new, equivalent one is purchased. The user can hand over electronic products measuring less than 25 cm to retailers of electronic products having a sales area of at least 400 m ^2 free of charge and with no obligation to buy. Appropriate separate collection for the subsequent procedure for the decommissioned appliance for recycling, which includes treatment and environmentally friendly disposal helps prevent adverse effects on the environment and health and promotes reusing and/or recycling materials that the appliance consists of.
