OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Warning : To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power cord must be disconnected before removing the dust bag, shake-out bag, changing the filters or performing maintenance or trouble-shooting checks.

Assembling Your Vacuum Cleaner – Note: Always remove the power plug from the wall outlet before attaching or removing accessories.
Important : Do NOT use the vacuum without all filters, shake-out bag, and HEPA dust bag in place.

1. Unplug the power cord and remove the flexible hose.
2. To open the canister lid, press on the canister lid tabs on each side of the unit and lift canister lid. (Fig. 1)
3. Pull the tab on the HEPA dust bag holder out slightly and flip upwards. (Fig. 2)
4. Holding the HEPA dust bag in your hand, slide it firmly between the slots in the bag holder. (Fig. 2)
5. The cardboard face to the new bag should rest securely in the dust bag cover guidelines. (Fig. 3)
6. Ensure that the shake-out bag is in place. (Fig. 4)
7. Flip the HEPA bag holder over, pressing the tab on the bag holder until it clicks, then replace the canister lid.
8. The canister lid can be replaced on the unit with the hose opening on the right or left, as per your preference. (Fig. 5)

Attaching the Telescopic Tube to the Flexible Hose Handle

1. Holding the telescopic tube, insert the handle into the telescopic tube receptacle. Push the handle in. (Fig.6)
2.  Push forward on the plastic button and pull the inner tubeoutward to extend for a longer reach. (Fig. 7)
3. To remove the telescopic tube from the flexible hose, pull on the telescopic tube and flexible hose handle to pull it out.

Manual Suction Control

Your vacuum cleaner includes a manual variable suction control on the flexible hose handle. The suction power can be adjusted by moving the suction regulator to the desired position between open and closed. (Fig. 8) Open gives you less suction, closed maximum suction. For example, less suction is required on upholstery and draperies compared to thick carpets, which require maximum suction

Using the Attachments

Air Driven Turbo Brush

The efficiency of your air driven turbo brush depends on the bristle brush rotating at high speed. Strong air suction is needed to accomplish this. In order to ensure that maximum air suction is maintained, please read the following instructions:

1. Change the HEPA dust bag or empty the shake-out bag frequently.
2. Replace the pre-motor and exhaust filters as needed.
3. Ensure that the rotating brush is kept free of hair and string, which may accumulate and decrease brush performance.
4. To attach the air driven turbo brush, insert the telescopic tube into the air driven turbo brush.
5. To adjust the suction control on the air driven turbo brush, slide the suction control for more or less as desired.

Blower Attachments

The blower attachments can be used with the vacuum to pick up very fine dirt particles in tight crevices or spots, or to inflate inflatable items or air mattresses. The blower attachments have air bleed holes. These air bleed holes help relieve some air pressure so that the attachment does not blow off. However, should an increase in air pressure be desired, simply cover one or more of the air bleed holes.

1. Pull up and hold the exhaust tab, with the free hand pull out the exhaust filter cover grill. (Fig. 9)
2. Remove the exhaust filter.
3. To place the power port into the exhaust outlet, align the lower tabs on the blower port with the slots on the exhaust. Pull up on the exhaust tab and push the tab and push the top of the blower port until it snaps into place.
4. To attach the hose to the blower port, align the flexible hose and turn counter-clockwise until it stops. The hose is now securely in place. (Fig. 10)
5. To blow up inflatable items, select the appropriate size blower attachment that will fit into the air valve.
6. Turn the unit on and hold the blower attachment and air valve while the vacuum exhaust is pumping air into the inflatable.
7. To detach the flexible hose, turn clockwise and pull out from blower port

Using the Blower Attachments

The blower attachments are extremely useful for vacuuming in hard to reach crevices and small compartments such as in cars.
Important Note : When blocking the air holes. Grasp the blower attachment firmly so that they do not blow off.
Do not use blower function to clear dust of fragile or delicateobjects unless they are secured or held firmly in place as the blower action is quite strong and may cause damage

Using Your Vacuum

1. Insert the power plug into the wall outlet.
2. Connect the hose, and telescopic tube if desired.
3. Turn the unit on by pressing the switch located near the base of the unit to turn the vacuum cleaner on

Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power cord must be disconnected before removing the dust bag, shake-out bag, changing the filters or performing maintenance or trouble-shooting checks.

Removing & Replacing HEPA Dust Bag

Important Note : DO NOT use the vacuum without all filters, shake-out bag, and with or without HEPA dust bag in place

1. To remove the HEPA dust bag, press on the canister lid tabs on each side of the unit and lift canister lid. (Fig. 11)
2. Pull the tab on the HEPA dust bag holder out slightly and flip upwards.
3. Hold the HEPA dust bag in your hand, slide it out from the slots in the bag holder. Hold carefully to avoid having dust fall out of the HEPA dust bag. (Fig. 12)
4. Replace the HEPA dust bag with a new bag. Do not reuse the same bag.
5. The cardboard face of the new bag should rest securely in the dust bag cover guides. (Fig. 13)

Cleaning & Replacing the Shake-Out Bag

Note : Clean the shake-out bag outdoors when changing the HEPA dust bag.
Optimum performance is achieved by using the HEPA dust bag with the shakeout bag decreasing the need for washing the shake-out bag.

Cleaning & Replacing when used with the HEPA Dust Bag:

1. Replace the shake-out bag, holding the handle at the bottom of the bag, shake outdoors vigorously over a garbage receptacle until there is no more dust.
2. Inspect shake-out bag regularly for tears or damage. Replace shake-out bags if damage or tears are present.

Cleaning the Shake-Out Bag:

1. Remove the shake-out bag, shake vigorously outdoors or over your trash bin until there is no more dust.
2. The shake-out bag is hand washable in lukewarm water.
3. Allow to air dry for 24 hours. The shake-out bag should be replaced when needed. Never replace into the vacuum if still wet.
4. Replace clean shake-out bag in unit and replace the canister lid onto the vacuum

Cleaning the HEPA Pre-Motor Filter

Important – Please Note: The HEPA pre-motor filter will stop most dust particles and airborne allergens from re-entering the air you breathe. The HEPA pre-motor filter will accumulate many fine dust particles that are difficult to see. Be assured that the HEPA pre-motor filter is doing the job. Clean or replace the HEPA pre-motor filter from time to time, when it is visibly dirty or if you notice reduced suction, as described in this section.

1. Remove the shake-out bag from the canister. The HEPA pre-motor filter is located underneath the shake-out bag. Pull up near the tabs on the sides of the HEPA filter. This is a press fit system.
2. Vigorously “Tap Clean” the HEPA pre-motor filter on a hard surface to remove any residual dust that might still be on the HEPA pre-motor filter.
3. You can wash the HEPA pre-motor filter by running it under the tap and allowing the water to run on the dirty side at least once a month or when suction appears to be decreased.
