Frequently Asked Questions - 640-166 Melissa

How do I empty the dust cup?

Press the release button on the dust cup and lift it off. Hold over a trash bin and open the bottom lid to empty. Avoid inhaling dust.

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the HEPA filter every 3 months or when the suction power drops. Rinse with water and let it dry completely before reinstalling.

Why is the vacuum not picking up dirt?

Check if the dust cup is full, the filter is clogged, or the hose is blocked. Also ensure the nozzle is set correctly for floor type.

Can I use this vacuum on hardwood floors?

Yes, but use the hard floor setting or turn off the rotating brush if available. The included combination nozzle works on both carpets and hard floors.

How do I change the filter?

Open the filter cover, remove the old filter, insert a new one (compatible with Melissa 640-166 HEPA filter). Close the cover securely.

What should I do if the vacuum overheats?

The vacuum has a thermal cut-off. Switch it off, unplug, and let it cool for 30 minutes. Check for blockages before restarting.

How long is the power cord?

The power cord is 5 meters long. It rewinds automatically by stepping on the cord rewind button.

Where can I buy spare parts?

Spare parts like filters, hoses, and nozzles are available online at Melissa's official website or through authorized retailers.

Can I use the vacuum without the filter?

• Do not use the appliance to vacuum up matches, hot ashes, cigarette butts, hard or sharp objects, wet or damp substances, combustible materials (petrol, solvents, etc.) or vapour from these.
• Do not cover the appliance's suction or exhaust port. Ensure that you keep clothing, hair and body parts away from the nozzle and moving parts of the vacuum cleaner.

PREPARING THE VACUUM CLEANER

• Attach the hose (4) to the vacuum cleaner by inserting it into the hose connector (7) until you hear a click. To remove the hose, press the buttons at the side of the hose and pull it out of the hose connector.
• Fit the telescopic tube (3) into the other end of the hose, and attach the floor nozzle (1) to the end of the tube.
• Y ou can adjust the length of the telescopic tube by pushing the locking mechanism (2) down and pulling on the bottom section of the tube until it reaches a suitable length. When parking, shorten the tube as far as possible.
• The vacuum cleaner's combination nozzle (19) is used for particular vacuuming tasks (see under Use). Remove the floor nozzle and fit the combination nozzle to the end of the telescopic tube.

USE

• Pull the cord (15) out of the vacuum cleaner. The cord must not be pulled out any further than the red mark. Plug in and switch the power on.
• P r ess the on/off button (12) to start and stop the vacuum cleaner.
• While in use, the suction strength can be regulated by opening and closing the air valve (5) on the handle at the end of the hose.
• The suction strength can also be adjusted electronically using the button for controlling suction strength (13). Suction strength increases when the button is turned towards "Max", and reduces when it is turned towards "Min".

• The nozzles are to be used as follows:

Floor nozzle Floors (brushes out)

Carpets (brushes in)

Combination nozzle Radiators, corners, skirtings, etc.

Combination nozzle Furniture, curtains, extended (19a) drapes, books, frames, etc.

• The floor nozzle has two settings. When cleaning hard surfaces (parquet flooring, flooring tiles, etc.), the nozzle brushes should be extended. When cleaning carpets and rugs, the brushes should be retracted into the nozzle. Press the brush change button (1a) to switch between the two settings.
• If, during vacuuming, you need to pause to move furniture etc., you can place the floor nozzle in the parking holder (14) using the fixture on the back of the nozzle.

FILTERS

This vacuum cleaner is not equipped with a dust bag. The dust/dirt is sucked up into the transparent dust container (8) instead. Once the dust is in this container, it whirls around so that it does not block suction. The air sucked in is cleaned by means of a washable permanent filter in the dust container, a motor protection filter and an exhaust filter.

Important!

You must never vacuum without all three filters or when a filter is damaged. If you do, dust may penetrate into the interior of the vacuum cleaner and damage the motor.

Emptying the dust container and cleaning the permanent filter

It is easy to see when the transparent dust container needs emptying.

1. Turn off the vacuum cleaner, and remove the plug from the wall socket.
2. Check whether the dust container is full, using the window (18).
3. Remove the dust container from the vacuum cleaner by pressing the release button (9) and lifting the handle on the dust container (see image on the right).

1. Take the dust container to a dustbin.
2. Turn the upper section of the dust container anticlockwise, so the downward-pointing arrow on the far left of the upper section lines up with the arrow on the lower section.
3. Lift the upper section off the lower section, and empty the container.

1. Turn the permanent filter clockwise, remove it from the upper section and tap it gently. (We recommend that you do this while holding the filter in a bag).

2. Brush the filter with a small brush or wash it in lukewarm water without any detergent or similar.

3. Allow the filter to dry completely, replace it on the upper section by turning it clockwise, refit the upper section on the lower section, and insert the dust container back into the vacuum cleaner. Press down until you hear a click.

Motor protection filter

The motor protection filter is the detachable filter pad located beside the dust container. It should be removed from time to time and, after brushing off any dust, cleaned using water and a small amount of mild detergent. Allow the filter to

dry completely and replace it.

Exhaust filter

This exhaust filter should also be cleaned regularly to maintain suction power. Press the release button on the filter holder on the back of the vacuum cleaner. Remove the filter and clean it, or replace the filter. If you use water to clean the filter, it

must be completely dry before being replaced in the vacuum cleaner.

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

• You can lift and carry the vacuum cleaner using the carrying handle (10). Never pull or lift the vacuum cleaner by the cord.
• Before putting the vacuum cleaner away, rewind the cord. Switch off at the socket, unplug, and press the automatic cord rewind button (11) until the cord is fully rewound.
• T o save space, the vacuum cleaner can be stored upright on its end cover.

CLEANING

• Clean the vacuum cleaner by wiping it with a damp cloth.
• You must not use any form of solvent, or strong or abrasive cleaning agent.
• Make sure all filters are kept clean (see above). Replace the filters once they become worn or can no longer be cleaned.
