Is the power plug disconnected from the socket?

• 

The motor is automatically controlled so that the hot air reaches 

a temperature range suitable for cleaning mattress. The motor power 

will change automatically during operation, but this is not a problem.

• 

The optical sensor will detect when the suction opening is lifted off 

the bedding during cleaning, and the beating rubber blade will stop 

for safety purposes.

• 

Is the dust cup full of dirt? (The dirt may smell depending on the type.)

• 

Was the mesh filter or pleat filter sufficiently dried after washing with water?

(Using the cleaner with wet filters can cause smells.)

• 

The optical sensor may not react when using the cleaner 

on dark-colored (e.g., black or navy) bedding, so the beating rubber 

blade may stop. However, cleaning can be continued in this state.

• 

When cleaning bedding that sits closely against the suction opening, 

the fabric could be sucked up. The function to automatically stop 

the beating rubber blade will activate and cause the rotation to stop.

Turn the power OFF once in this case. 

The function will be deactivated and operation can be resumed.

• 

If the suction opening is removed from the bedding for more than 

one minute, the power will automatically turn OFF. (Auto OFF)

and wash with water.

Is the suction opening blocked with dirt? Remove the blocked dirt.

will be possible once the cleaner cools down.

• 

The dust cup assembly filter is dirty. Remove the dust cup assembly, 

turn the filter knob, and empty the contents.

If the suction opening is blocked, this lamp may turn ON even if the filter 

is not dirty. In this case, press “ OFF ” and resume operation. 

The lamp will turn OFF.

will flicker quickly, and the cleaner will not start.
