Operating Your Kambrook Handheld Vacuum

Before first use

Remove any promotional material 

from the handheld vacuum.
When unpacking the handheld 

vacuum, check to see you have 

received all the required components, 

such as the turbo brush, crevice tool 

and small brush before discarding  

the packaging.

 

WARNING:

 Before 

first use, charge your 

handheld vacuum for at 

least 24 hours. Make sure 

that the power On/Off  

switch is turned to the 

‘OFF’ position before  

charging otherwise the 

handheld vacuum will 

not charge.

Mounting the Wall Bracket

The charging base can be mounted 

vertically to your wall or can be 

placed horizontally on a flat surface.

To mount the charging base:

1.  Choose a convenient position on 

the wall which is within 1m of an 

electrical power outlet.

2.  Place the charging base vertically 

parallel with the wall in the 

desired location (see Fig.1).

Fig. 1

3.  To correctly align the wall bracket 

with the wall, using a pencil, mark  

both the centre of the top screw 

hole and bottom screw hole 

located on the charging base.

4.  Using a drill, drill a 5mm diameter 

hole through the centre of the 

top screw hole and bottom  

screw hole where the pencil 

marks are located on the wall. 

5.  With a washer first inserted onto 

each screw, fix the two screws 

into the holes at least 23mm long 

into the wall.

6.  Put the charger head into the 

bracket hole from the back side 

and then hang the bracket on 

the fixed screws.

7.  Slide the handheld vacuum 

onto the wall bracket, ensuring 

the handheld vacuum head is 

pointing downwards alongside 

the wall (see Fig.2). 

NOTE: 

Ensure the charging base 

is mounted on the wall so that 

the handheld vacuum head is 

pointing downwards alongside 

the wall when the handheld 

vacuum is placed on the 

charging base.
