Double Insulation
The charger of this appliance is double insulated. Double insulation means that all the external metal
parts are electrically in sul ated from th e mains power supply. This is don e by p laci ng in sul ated
barriers between the electrical and mechanical components so as to making unnecessary for the tool
to be earthed. Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating
this tool. The insu lation s ystem i s f or added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power supply corresponds
to the voltage on the rating plate. Never attempt to replace the charger unit with a regular mains plug.
Symbols on the Charger
Your charger may contain the following symbols:
Your charger is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required.
Fail safe isolating transformer. The mains supply is electrically separated from the transformer output.
The charger automatically shuts off if the ambient tem perature becomes too high. As soon as th e
ambient temperature has decressed, the charger will resume operating.
The charger is intended for indoor use only.
Read the manual carefully before using the appliance.

Slide the on/off switch backward to position O to turn off the appliance.
Wet Pick-up (Fig. C & H)
For best performance on non-absorbent hard surface wet pickups, insert squeegee (10) into the bowl
inlet (4) (Fig. C).
Hold the appliance at an angle of 45º and pull it slowly towards you.
On absortbent surfaces, such as carpet, your appliance will pick up wet spills better without the accessory.

turn the unit up side down, sideways, point the nozzle upward, or shake the appliance excessively.
After picking up liqu id substances, clean the appliance and filter immediately. Mold and mildew may
form if the unit is not prop erly cleaned after wet pickups.
Always return the product to the charging base immediately after use so that it will be ready and fully charged
for the next use. Ensure that the product is fully engaged on the power supply plug.
Maintenance
Filter (Fig. I & J)
We recommend that you replace the filter every 6-9 months and whenever worn or damaged. Replacement
filters (cat. No. VF72) are available at extra cost from your local dealer.
Unplug the vacuum.
Press the release button (2) and remove the dust bowl (3) (Fig. I). Remove the filters (13 & 14).
To refit the filters, place the soft filter (13) into the hard filter (14) (fig. J).
Refit the dust bowl onto the appliance. Make sure the dust bowl clicks into place (Fig. I).
Caution: The use of any non-recommended accessories may be hazardous.
Cleaning (Fig. I, K, L & M)
Note: The filter is re-usable, do not confuse them w ith disposable dust bags, and do not throw them away
when the product is emptied.
Important: Maximum dust collection will only b e obtained with clean filter and an empty dust bowl. If dust
begins to fall back out of the product after it is switched off, this indicates that the bowl is full and requ ires
emptying.
Unplug the vacuum before cleaning.
Press the release button (2) and remove the dust bowl (3) (Fig. I).
While holding the bowl over a wastebasket, pull out hard filter and foam filter to remove. Empty the dust
bowl and wash if necessary (Fig. K & L).
Wash the filter regularly using warm, soapy water (Fig. L) and ensure that it is completely dry before using
it again. The cleaner the filter are, the better the product will perform. It is very important that the filter is
correctly in position before use. The dust bowl can also be washed in warm soapy water. Ensure that it is
dry before re-attaching.
Never immerse the product in water. A damp cloth and soapy water should be used to clean the exterior
of the motor section. Always ensure the product is completely dry before re-use or storing (Fig. M).
