resistant to water action.
6. DO NOT vacuum mud, gypsum material, wall powder, blade, kindling, clumps of hair,
large pieces of paper and other items such as sharp metal objects as that may make
the air inlet or outlet, brushes & strainers get blocked and the motor gets burned. An
indication of blockage may manifest as an abnormal sound or poor suction. If these
small particles were absorbed, please disconnect the power cord and remove them
from the Dustbin, air inlet or outlet, brushes & strainers immediately.
7. The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out of
the reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources of
danger.
8. Avoid carrying out operations which are NOT specified in this manual (such as

power adapter is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock hazard.
11. Before charging the appliance make sure the rating (voltage and frequency)
corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance, and
that the wall socket is properly grounded.
12. DO NOT power the appliance using multiple sockets. If possible, avoid the use of

How to clean s
WARNING: The appliance must NEVER be used without the Preliminary Strainer and the
Efficient Strainer contained within the Dustbin. Always place them back after cleaning
them. When the suction power decreases, the strainers might be clogged. Using the
appliance with a clogged strainer puts additional strain on the motor. Prompt removal of
dust and dirt not only improves the efficiency of the appliance but only extends its working
life.
1.
Cleaning of side brushes
a.
Wash the Left & Right side brushes with detergent, rinse them under running
water and dry them naturally after use. If they are damaged and cannot work
normally, please replace them.
Note:
When attaching side brushes, please attach the corresponding “L” and
“R” side brushes to the position “L” and “R” at the top of the appliance
respectively.
2.
Cleaning the Dustbin and Strainers
a.
After you press the finger sign on the Swiveling Cover, the Cover will pop-up
automatically.
b.
After taking out the Dustbin, extract and remove any foreign matter trapped in the
Suction channel of the appliance.

c.
Remove the Efficient Strainer.
d.
Remove the Preliminary Strainer.
e.
Invert the Dustbin until all dust is removed.

f.
Clean the Dustbin, Preliminary Strainer and Efficient Strainer fully. The Efficient
strainer should be cleaned after using it for 15 – 30 days. The maximum service
life of the Efficient Strainer is 24 months. The Efficient strainer shall not be
cleaned with a brush but shall be blown with a dryer or knocked slightly by virtue
of an external force to make dust fall down. DO NOT wash it with water.
g.
Assemble the Dustbin, Preliminary Strainer and Efficient Strainer in the correct
sequence. Please ensure that the two strainers are assembled well to avoid
damage to the appliance.
Note
Please clean the Dustbin and the Suction channel after every use.
After its components are washed with water, dry them dried
naturally but NOT under strong sunlight. Once fully dried,
reassemble the components in the appliance.
