WET VACUUMING
Caution! Always remove the dust bag when you commencing
wet vacuuming.
1. When picking up small amounts of liquid the HEPA filter
may be left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of liquid we recommend
that the HEPA filter should be removed. If the HEPA filter
is not removed, it will become saturated and misting may
appear in the exhaust.
3. When the liquid in the drum reaches a predetermined
level, the float mechanism will rise automatically to cut off
air-flow, the indicator light turn on at the same time. When
this happens, turn off the vac, unplug the power cord, and
empty the drum.
4. After using the vac to pick up liquids, the HEPA filter must
be cleaned and dried to reduce the risk of possible mildew
and damage to the filter.
5. The sponge filter should be cleaned and dried if necessary,
the removal method is shown in (Fig. L).
6. When the drum full, turn anticlockwise the water lid and
empty the water (Fig. M).
DRY VACUUMING
Caution! Never dry-vacuum without the filter assembly
installed.
1. For dry –vacuum using, there are two filtering methods:
a. Dust bag;
b. HEPA filter. For mass dust cleaning, we advise to use
dust bag. For a bit but tiny dust cleaning, we advise
to use HEPA filter. Since the HEPA filter have better
filtering performance but will low down the air flow.
2. The device has dirt full and block indication function, the
light turns on that means the air route way is blocked. In
this case, user should switch off the device and check:
a. Is the hose or accessories blocked by large dirt?
b. Is the filter blocked by dirt?
User should take actions:
a. Clean the dirt in the hose or other accessories.
b. Change or clean the dust bag/HEPA filter.
BLOWING FUNCTION
The device has blow function, if necessary, fix the hose
connector to the exhaust of the device (the same method with
inlet connection), then fix the accessories to use (Fig. N).
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Warning! Before storing the vacuum, the dust drum and
filter should be emptied and cleaned.
f
The cord should be wrapped around the device (Fig. O), the
accessories should be stored in the storage base (Fig. P).
The vac should be stored indoors.
f
To clean the device casing switch off and disconnect the
plug from the mains socket.
f
Never expose the vacuum cleaner to the effects of the
weather (rain, etc.). No parts may be washed in a dish
washer.
f
The casing, dust collecting chamber and filter chambers
of the vacuum cleaner can be wiped with a damp cloth if
required. No liquid must enter the vacuum cleaner in the
process. Never use strong cleaning substance (scouring
liquids, thinners), since these will corrode the plastic
surface. Only place the plug back in the mains socket
when you have made sure that all the parts are thoroughly
dry.
f
Hair and fluff may gather on the running wheels and on
the floor nozzle of the vacuum cleaner in time. You should
remove these to ensure that handling of the vacuum
cleaner is always easy.
f
Lubricating or oiling of the roller bearing is not
recommended, because this will cause dirt and fluff to
stick even better.
