The Russell Hobbs UV Pro is designed for use on soft furnishings such at
mattresses, sofas, rugs and upholstery. It’s purpose is to tackle the
allergens such as dust mites, bed bugs, bacteria and pollen - all things
that may worsen the symptoms of asthma, eczema and other
irritations.
The UV-C light attacks the DNA of bed bugs, dust mites and bacteria
such as E-Coli, which prevents them from reproducing and spreading,
effectively sterilising your mattresses and soft furnishings
3. Ensure the two large wheels on the underside of the product are in
contact with a flat surface, such as a mattress, then slowly move the
vacuum cleaner back and forth over the surface.
Important: The UV light will only activate if both large wheels are in
contact with the surface being vacuumed. This function is indicated
by the LED lights on the front of the unit.

How to empty the dust container

the dust container over a bin to
