Check for blockages in the hose, wand, or floor head. Also ensure the dust container is not full and the filters are clean. Wash the foam filter every 3 months.

How often should I clean the filters?

The foam filter should be washed every 3 months. The HEPA filter should be replaced every 12 months or when dirty.

Recharging information

- Before using for the first time charge the vacuum cleaner for at least 14 hours. The recommended duration for each subsequent charge is 14 hours to maintain maximum performance from the internal battery.

NOTE: The LED indicator will illuminate during charging.

• To maintain peak performance - We recommend discharging the Vacuum battery fully at least once a month and then charging for the full 14 hours.
• Recommendation for efficient cleaning - Please keep the usage time to no more than 10 minutes each time.
• The air vents must not be blocked at any time. Blocking the vents may cause overheating which will damage the motor.
  • We recommend you clean the dust filter
  after each use.
• Do not use on liquids.

IMPORTANT

We strongly recommend following our easy Care and Cleaning Instructions. This will optimise the performance of your hand vacuum and prolong its operating life.

Emptying your Cleaner

Note: Always switch 'OFF' before opening your hand-held vacuum cleaner.

1. Press the release button down and detach the dust compartment.

1. Remove the filters from the dust compartment and empty the container.

1. Gently tap out each of the filter to dislodge any dust and debris. A soft brush can be used to gently remove any dirt and dust from the filter.

To clean the filter more thoroughly, you can rinse them with cold or tepid water.

Ensure the filter parts are correctly fitted together, before putting back into the dust compartment. This will make the task easier. Maximum dust collection will only be obtained with clean filter/s and an empty dust compartment replacing back into the vacuum.
