ABOUT YOUR DUSTTAMER DELUXE®

The revolutionary DustTamer
Deluxe®,the world’s first dusting
appliance, makes dusting faster,
easier and cleaner!

there’s no more brushing of

duster and conveniently suction
off the dust on-the-spot with
the cordless, rechargeable
vacuum chamber!
To ensure that only clean, dust
and allergen free air re-enters
your home, DustTamer Deluxe®
utilizes a 2-stage HEPA filtration
system that captures 99.97% of
dust and allergens.
Your DustTamer Deluxe®D4200
comes complete with a handy 22”
duster, a washable/ reusable
stainless steel pre-filter, and a
certified HEPA filter.

BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE
8
Your DustTamer Deluxe®uses a
cordless, rechargeable vacuum
chamber to suction dust off your
DustTamer®Duster. When fully
charged, your vacuum chamber
will have enough power to clean
your Duster approximately 50
times.
To charge your DustTamer
Deluxe®, please follow these steps:
1. Open the Battery/AC Adapter
Compartment by depressing
the purple Compartment Latch
at the rear of the unit and
sliding the Battery/AC Adapter
Compartment out of the
Vacuum Chamber. (see figure 1)
2. Upon first use of the
DustTamer Deluxe®, remove
the white plastic tab marked
“Remove Before Use”.
3. Remove the supplied AC
Adapter from the Battery/AC
Adapter Compartment and
connect it to the AC Adapter
Jack located at the rear bottom
of the Vacuum Chamber and
plug the AC Adapter into a wall
outlet. (See figure 2)

Fig.

9
Important: Before first use,
charge your DustTamer
Deluxe®for at least 24 hours.
Note 1: To maintain a charge
keep the AC Adapter and
Vacuum Chamber plugged into
a standard wall outlet at all
times. When charging, the AC
Adapter may be warm to the
touch. This is normal.
Note 2: The Battery/AC
Adapter compartment can be
removed from the unit and
charged separately for added
convenience.
The Vacuum Chamber can be
left in one location during
dusting, (bringing the Duster
back to it for cleaning) or you
can carry the Vacuum
Chamber with you from room
to room for extra convenience.
Note 3: As with many
rechargeable products, we
recommend that the AC
Adapter not be plugged into
the wall outlet when the unit is
in use (i.e. while cleaning the
Duster with suction action).

2-STAGE FILTRATION SYSTEM
10
Traditional dusting tools push
allergy causing dust from one
spot to another or into the air.
With its 2-stage HEPA filtration
system, DustTamer Deluxe®
overcomes this problem.
Stage 1: A reusable, washable
Stainless Steel Pre-Filter
Screen traps larger dust
particles for clean and
easy removal when full
(see “Maintenance”
section of this manual for
emptying instructions).
Stage 2: An included
FilterStream®certified
HEPA Filter captures
99.97% of microscopic
dust particles, pollen,
bacteria and other
allergens down to 0.3
microns in size. 1

Your DustTamer Deluxe®includes
a professional quality 100%
Lambswool Duster made in
Australia.
Lambswool dusters are the choice
of cleaning professionals because
they are:
Fast - the large head covers large
areas quickly
Superior at Dust Pick Up -
lambswool has natural dust
grabbing fibers, electrostatic
action and lanolin oil that attracts
and holds dust like a magnet
Incredibly Soft & Versatile -
won’t scratch delicate items; great
for small figurines or
large tables
Reusable - saves time and money!
LAMBSWOOL DUSTER • DUSTING
DUSTING
The included Lambswool Duster
is ideal for cleaning any areas
where dust accumulates:
• Venetian blinds
• lamps
• louvered doors
• fine furniture
• collectibles
• televisions/stereo equipment
• plant leaves
• computer monitors/keyboards
• automobile dashboards
For helpful dusting & cleaning
tips, see our handy DustTamer®
Cleaning Tips booklet included
with your DustTamer Deluxe®.

Duster in and out of the
Vacuum Chamber a few times
(see Figure 6). The
combination of the Dust
Agitation Ring (which loosens
dust with a twisting action) and
suction will most effectively
remove dust from the
Lambswool Duster. The
Vacuum Chamber suction will
run for approximately 8
seconds, then will
automatically turn off to
conserve battery power.
During the above cleaning
cycle, dust and allergens are
being suctioned away and
captured in the Stainless Steel
Pre-Filter and the HEPA Filter
(see figure 7). Only clean,
allergen free air is recirculated
into your home.
If you want to clean the Duster
again, simply remove the
Lambswool Duster from the
Vacuum Chamber and reinsert it,
thereby activating the Infrared
Dust Wand Sensor and turning
the suction on again.
Your Lambswool Duster is now
clean and ready to dust another
room in your house.
CLEANING LAMBSWOOL DUSTER WITH VACUUM CHAMBER
12
1. Your DustTamer Deluxe®
Vacuum Chamber can be
conveniently carried from
room to room operating on
battery power.
2. The number of times you
clean your Lambswool Duster
in the Vacuum Chamber will
be determined by the amount
of dust you pick up. Rooms
with heavy dust accumulation
may require several cleanings,
whereas small rooms or quick
touch-up dusting may only
require one cleaning.
Note: To keep your Lambswool
Duster free of dust and allergens,
we recommend periodic cleaning
of your Lambswool Duster in
the Vacuum Chamber, even if
dust isn’t visible on the
Lambswool Duster.
To clean your Lambswool
Duster in the Vacuum Chamber,
simply follow these steps:
a. Slowly insert the Lambswool
Duster into the Vacuum
Chamber. The Infrared Dust
Wand Sensor will detect the
Lambswool Duster and
automatically start the suction
action. (see figure 5)
b. Once the suction has started,
slowly move the Lambswool

MAINTENANCE
16
The Stainless Steel Pre-Filter
Screen can be cleaned by
emptying the dust in the trash, or
preferably, in the sink under
running water (see figure 12) to
ensure that dust particles are not
reintroduced to the household.
Thoroughly dry the Pre-filter after
cleaning to prevent moisture from
getting on the HEPA Filter.
3.Cleaning HEPA Filter
To remove the HEPA Filter
from the Lower Vacuum
Chamber Housing, insert your
thumb and middle finger into
the semi circular depressions
on either side of the filter and
pull outward. Use your finger
to lightly clean the paper
surface of the HEPA Filter,
clearing off any dirt, dust, and
hair. You can also gently tap
the HEPA Filter on the edge of
the garbage can or sink face
down for additional cleaning.
(see figure 13)
Note: Do not wash the HEPA
filter. Water will permanently
damage the filter.

4.Cleaning Vacuum Chamber
Cleaning Interior: Remove any
dust that may build up inside
the Vacuum Chamber with a dry
cloth.
Cleaning Exterior: Clean the
Vacuum Chamber’s exterior
with a damp cloth
Warning: Never immerse the
Vacuum Chamber in water
This may damage the electrical
contacts and circuitry in the
Upper Vacuum Housing.

17
Note: Make sure that all parts
are dry before putting them
back together.
5. After cleaning, insert the
HEPA Filter back into the
Lower Vacuum Chamber
Housing, and the Stainless
Steel Pre-Filter back into the
Upper Vacuum Housing. A light
“click” is heard when firmly
seated. (see figure 14)
6. The Vacuum Chamber is put
back together by connecting
the rectangular slot on the rear
of the Upper Vacuum
Chamber to the rear
protruding tab on the Lower
Vacuum Chamber Housing
Then lower the Upper Vacuum
Chamber Housing onto the
Lower Vacuum Chamber
Housing until an an audible
“click” is heard.
