Frequently Asked Questions - 640-268 Melissa

How do I replace the dust bag?

Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Open the lid by pressing the button under the edge. Remove the old dust bag, dispose of it carefully. Insert a new dust bag ensuring it faces the correct direction, then close the lid until it clicks.

What should I do if the bag change indicator stays red after replacing the bag?

Check if the hose or nozzle is clogged. Also examine the exhaust filter for dirt. Clean or replace the filter if needed. Do not use the vacuum if the indicator remains red as it may damage the motor.

How often should I clean or replace the motor filter?

Clean the motor filter at least twice a year or whenever it appears dirty. Remove it from the holder, shake or gently wash in warm water, and let it dry completely before reinstalling. Replace it if worn.

When should I replace the exhaust filter?

Replace the exhaust filter after 4 to 6 months of use, or sooner if it becomes soiled or suction power decreases. Remove the exhaust grille, take out the filter, replace it, and snap the grille back.

Can I use the vacuum cleaner to pick up water or wet substances?

No, the vacuum is designed for dry use only. Using it on wet surfaces or to suck up liquids can damage the appliance and pose an electric shock risk.

How do I adjust suction power?

Open or close the air vent on the handle. Closing the vent gives full suction for carpets; opening it reduces suction for curtains or delicate items.

What should I not vacuum up?

Avoid vacuuming matches, hot ashes, cigarette butts, sharp objects, fine dust (e.g., plaster), flammable materials, or vapors from solvents.

How do I rewind the power cord?

Switch off and unplug the vacuum. Press the automatic cord rewind button on the left side of the carrying handle while holding the plug to prevent it from whipping.

Can I use the vacuum on stairs?

Yes, but take extra care due to the risk of falling. Ensure the vacuum is stable and the cord does not become a tripping hazard.

Where can I find spare parts or accessories?

Contact the retailer where you purchased the vacuum or visit the manufacturer's website at www.adexi.eu for spare parts, accessories, and technical support.

PREPARING THE APPLIANCE

IMPORTANT! Before using the appliance, open the lid (4) and make sure the motor filter (14) and the dust bag have been fitted to the appliance. Also check that the exhaust filter (15) is in place in the exhaust port (17). See Replacing filter and dust bag below.

1. Attach the hose (8) to the appliance by inserting the hose connector (9) in the hole on the hose connector port (5) on the top of the appliance, until you hear a click.
   To remove the hose, press the buttons on the side of the hose connector and pull the hose out.
2. Assemble the two-component tube (10), joining the two parts
3. Attach the handle of the hose (7) to one end of the tube and attach the floor nozzle (12) to the opposite end of the tube

USING THE APPLIANCE

1. Pull the cord out of the appliance. The cord may not be pulled out further than the yellow mark. Plug in and switch on the power.
2. Press the On/Off button (2) to switch the appliance on and off.
3. Suction strength can also be adjusted by opening and closing the air vent (6) on the handle.

When the valve is closed, full suction is achieved. This is the normal setting.
When the vent opens, more air is allowed in, reducing the suction power at the floor nozzle. This function is ideal for cleaning curtains and other light items which can easily get sucked into the nozzle at maximum suction strength.

1. The floor nozzle brushes have two settings which can be selected using the brush function button (11) on top of the nozzle.

When cleaning hard surfaces (stone flooring, tiles, etc.), the nozzle brushes should be extended.
When cleaning carpets and rugs, the brushes should be retracted into the nozzle.

1. If the bag change indicator (3) indicates that the bag is full or if suction force is significantly reduced, the bag must be replaced (see section Replacing Dust Bag, below). If the indicator continues to indicate that the bag is full after you have replaced it, this may be due to one of the following:

o The hose or nozzle is clogged.
o The exhaust filter is dirty.

Investigate and resolve the problem. Do not use the appliance if the indicator indicates that the dust bag is full. This may cause irreparable damage to the motor.

1. NOTE! Switch off the appliance on the On/Off button, disconnect the plug from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool off for approx. 1 hour. Clean the filters and replace the dust bag (see the sections on replacement of filters and dust bag below), before using the appliance again.

Tips

If you need to take a break during vacuum • cleaning, you can slide the floor nozzle into the storage bracket (18) on the back of the appliance.

The small crevice and brush nozzle (13) can be used with and without brushes, as they can easily be extended or withdrawn. The nozzle can be stored in the storage space on the back of the appliance when it is not in use.

You can lift and carry the appliance using the carrying handle (1). Never pull or lift the appliance by the cord.
