Frequently Asked Questions - RCT122 Turbo FAKIR

How do I empty the dust container?

Press the release button on the dust container and lift it off. Hold over a trash bin and press the bottom flap to empty. Ensure the filter is clean before reattaching.

How often should I clean the HEPA filter?

Clean the HEPA filter every 3 months or when the suction power noticeably decreases. Rinse under lukewarm water and let it dry completely for 24 hours before reinserting.

The vacuum has reduced suction. What should I check?

First, empty the dust container. Then check the filters (HEPA and pre-motor) for clogging. Also inspect the hose, wand, and brush roll for blockages. If issues persist, contact Fakir support.

Can I use the vacuum on hardwood floors?

Yes, but use the floor brush in the appropriate setting or switch to a hard floor nozzle if available. Avoid using the turbo brush on delicate surfaces.

What does the 'Turbo' feature mean?

The 'Turbo' indicates a motorized turbo brush that rotates to deep-clean carpets and remove pet hair more effectively. It is powered by the suction airflow.

How do I replace the brush roll?

Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Remove the brush roll cover by pressing the tabs. Lift out the old brush roll, clean the compartment, and insert a new one. Close the cover securely.

Is the vacuum bagless or with bags?

The Fakir RCT122 Turbo is bagless. It uses a cyclonic system to separate dust from air, so there is no need for replacement bags.

The vacuum shuts off during use. Why?

This is likely due to overheat protection. The vacuum automatically shuts off if it becomes too hot. Check for blockages and ensure filters are clean. Wait 30 minutes before restarting.

Where can I order spare parts?

You can order spare parts from the Fakir website or authorized service centers. Common parts include HEPA filters, brush rolls, and accessories. Use the model number RCT122 Turbo.

How do I clean the turbo brush?

Unplug the vacuum. Remove the turbo brush from the hose. Use scissors to cut away any tangled hair or threads wrapped around the brush roll. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry before reattaching.

Operating Instructions

INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNTED CHARGING BASE

It is recommended that the charging base should be mounted on a wall to provide a convenient storage and charging point for the cleaner.

1- Find a suitable indoor wall location near a mains power socket but out of the reach of children. Do not mount the charging base in direct sunlight or close to a heating source. Ensure that there are no hidden electrical wires or pipes in the chosen location.
2- Position the charging base as shown in figure 1.
3- Mark the location of the mounting holes and drill two suitable holes.
4- Make sure that the charging adaptor lead is threaded through the slot in the charging base. See figure 2. Excess lead can be stored at the rear of the charging base.
5- Screw the charging base to the wall.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

1- Before the first use, the battery must be charged for 15 hours. Before the first charge, the battery should be fully discharged. Operate the On/Off switch until the motor stops. Make sure that the On/Off switch is returned to the Off position. The battery will not charge with the switch in the On position. New batteries, or a battery that has been stored uncharged for some time, may not initially accept a full charge. This is normal. It will charge fully after several charge and discharge cycles. The battery should always be charged at ambient air temperatures of between 40 and 400 C.
2- Locate the cleaner in the charging base, making sure that the charging socket on the cleaner is correctly located with the charging pin on the charging base. See figure 3.
3- Plug the charging adaptor into the mains supply. The charging indicator LED will light to show that the battery is accepting the charge. See figure 4.

CHARGING THE BATTERY - continued

4 Whilst charging, the charging adaptor will become warm. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. The cleaner may be stored in the charging base. However, ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply when charging is complete (maximum 15 hours).

NOTE

After fully charging the battery, the average effective use of the cleaner is approximately 10 minutes. This will reduce to 8 minutes if the rotating brush head described on page 9 is used.

USING THE CLEANER

1 Lift and pull the cleaner from the wall mounting base. See figure 5.
2 Push the On/Off switch forward to switch On. See figure 6. The cleaner will start.
3 Perform the cleaning operation.
4 Pull the On/Off switch back to switch Off. See figure 6.
5 Return the cleaner to the wall mounting base.

CAUTION!

Do not use the cleaner to pick up liquids as this will severely damage the motor.

Do not touch the motorised brush head while it is rotating as this could cause personal injury.

1 To connect the rotating brush head, remove the cleaner from the wall mounting charging base.
2 Ensure that the cleaner is switched Off.
3 Push the brush head firmly into the air intake. See figures 7 and
8. Ensure that the two pins on the brush head are correctly located in the two sockets on the air intake.
4 To remove the brush head pull it firmly out of the air intake.

The rotating brush head is designed for cleaning short pile carpets

and rugs. It should not be used for cleaning long pile carpets.

NOTE:

Picking up cotton, hair and other threads may clog the brush head

by twisting around the brush head spindle. If this happens remove

the brush head from the cleaner and remove the thread from the spindle.

Cleaning and Maintenance

CLEANING THE DUST BOWL AND FILTER

The performance of the cleaner is dependant on the condition of the dust bowl and the filter. The dust bowl should be emptied and cleaned regularly. The filter should be regularly removed and washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly.

NOTE:

The filter requires more frequent cleaning if fine dust is vacuumed regularly. Ensure that both the dust bowl and the filter are completely dry before refitting them to the cleaner.

1 To empty the dust bowl and remove the filter, press down on the dust bowl release button.
2 Pull the dust bowl away from the motor housing. See figure 11.
3 Pull the filter out of the dust bowl. See figure 12.
4 Empty and clean the dust bowl.
5 Wash the filter in warm soapy water. Allow to dry completely before refitting. Do not attempt to force-dry with any heat source.
6 Always replace the filter and refit the dust bowl before switching on and using the cleaner.

Cleaning and Maintenance

There are no other user-serviceable parts inside this vacuum cleaner.

Refer to authorized Fakir Service if internal maintenance is required. Any worn, or damaged parts should be replaced by qualified personnel.

Environmental protection

When the batteries are no longer required, they must be disposed of in an environmentally protective way.

Run the cleaner completely down and then

remove the batteries from the cleaner. To remove the batteries, undo the battery hatch at the rear of the cleaner. The battery packs contain SLA battery. They are recyclable. Take them to your service agent or a local recycling centre to be disposed of properly. Do not incinerate battery packs as they may explode when exposed to fire. Do not attempt to open the battery packs. Recycle unwanted materials instead of disposing of them as waste. All tools, accessories and packaging should be sorted, taken to a recycling centre and disposed of in a manner which is compatible with the environment.
