    Operation

18. If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:

    • Clean the exterior of the fan with a damp cloth. Make sure that the Turbine DOES NOT come into contact with water.

    • Assemble the appliance fully and check that the Turbine is NOT damaged. Use the appliance only if the HEPA Filter is installed; or, the Sponge filter is installed with 1000 ml of water placed in the Dust / Water container. This is especially so if the surroundings to be vacuumed is extremely dusty. Failure to do so will only send the dust back out after being suctioned. DO NOT use other filters except the ones provided by the manufacturer.

    • Ensure that the turbine is tightly secured by the Barrel clips to the Dust / Water container before switching on the appliance. Failure to do this could cause a risk of injury to persons and would defeat the utility of the appliance.

    • Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its proper functioning.
      DO NOT:

    • cover the appliance during functioning;

    • obstruct totally nor partially the air outlet with anything that may reduce the suction, such as dust, lint, hair, etc.;

    • insert objects or body parts (including clothing and hair) inside the Turbine to avoid personal injury or damage to the machine when the appliance is in operation;
