Important Safeguards For 

All Electrical Appliances 

•  Fully unwind the power cord before use.
•  Connect only to a 230V or 240V power outlet.
•  Do not let the power cord hang over the 

edge of a bench or table, touch hot surfaces 

or become knotted.

•  To protect against electric shock do not 

immerse the power cord, power plug or 

housing in water or any other liquid.

•  The appliance is not intended for use by 

persons (including children) with reduced 

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, 

or lack of experience and knowledge, 

unless they have been given supervision or 

instruction concerning use of the appliance 

by a person responsible for their safety.

•  Children should be supervised to ensure that 

they do not play with the appliance.

•  It is recommended to regularly inspect the 

appliance. To avoid a hazard, do not use 

the appliance if power cord, power plug or 

appliance becomes damaged in any way. 

Return the entire appliance to the nearest 

authorised Kambrook Service Centre for 

examination and/or repair.

should be performed at an authorised 

Kambrook Service Centre.

•  This appliance is for household use only.  

Do not use this appliance for anything other 

than its intended use. Do not use in moving 

vehicles or boats. Do not use outdoors. 

Misuse may cause injury.

•  The installation of a residual current device 

(safety switch) is recommended to provide 

additional safety protection when using 

electrical appliances. It is advisable 

that a safety switch with a rated residual 

operating current not exceeding 30mA be 

installed in the electrical circuit supplying 

the appliance. See your electrician for 

professional advice.

•  Do not place this appliance on or near  

a heat source, such as hot plate, oven  

or heaters.

Do not use with any opening blocked. Keep 

free of dust, lint, hair, or anything that may 

reduce airflow.

cord or charging base, or after the 

appliance has malfunctioned or been 

damaged in any manner. Immediately 

cease use of the Handheld Vacuum 

and return the entire unit to the nearest 

authorised Kambrook Service Centre for 

examination, adjustment or repair.

•  Before first use, the Handheld Vacuum must 

be charged for at least 24 hours. Ensure that 

the power On/Off switch is turned to the 

‘OFF’ position before charging, otherwise the 

Handheld Vacuum will not charge.

•  Any maintenance other than cleaning dust 

canister and filters should be performed at 

an authorised Kambrook Service Centre.

•  Dirty and clogged filters may result 

in reduced suction performance. It is 

recommended that filters are cleaned after 

every use to ensure maximum efficiency 

from your Handheld Vacuum. If filters are left 

unclean it may result in reduction of suction 

power. Follow the cleaning instructions 

provided in this book.

•  Keep the Handheld Vacuum clean. 

Follow the cleaning instructions provided
