USEFUL TIPS
While charging, ensure that the indicator light is on.
Before being used for the first time, the appliance should be charged for 10 hours in order to
guarantee full vacuuming power.
The appliance may be left on the charging base without any risk. The charger will heat up
slightly this is quite normal. However, it is preferable to disconnect the charger from the power
supplier if the unit is unattended for a long period of time (eg. whilst on holidays)
Check the condition of the filter regularly, and ensure that it is firmly in place. If the appliance
loses suction power or makes an abnormal noise, check that the vacuum inlet is not blocked or
that the permanent washable filter is not blocked or full.
In cases of abnormal operation, such as motor over heating. Stop the appliance to correct the
problem (e.g. blockages in the vacuum inlet or accessory). If vacuumed dust fall on the floor,
check to see if the filter is full.

OPERATION
1. To connect the charger to the base unit,
slot the power jack in the hole from the
bottom of the base. Turn 90°until the
power jack is locked into place. Fit the
cable into the slot on either side of the
base. Fig 1
2. Sit the unit to into the charging base as
shown in Fig 2 and plug in the adapter to
a power socket and switch on.
3. The indicator will light up to show the unit is charging Fig 3.
This light will always remain on whilst sitting in the charging
base. Allow the unit to charge for 10 hrs before initial use.
4. Once charged, remove the unit by gently lifting out of the
base.
5. Push the power switch to the “ON” position to operate as shown in Fig
4.
6. If vacuuming liquids, empty the dust compartment if you have
vacuumed dust.
7. Hold the vacuum vertically keeping the nozzle downward and check
the liquid level. To prevent the liquid from leaking, do not tilt the nozzle
upward.
8. It is recommended to empty the dust compartment immediately when the liquid level reaches the
“MAX” line. If the compartment contents exceed this level, permanent damage to the vacuum
can result.
