The manufacturer is NOT responsible for possible damages caused by the inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.

3. This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame, ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air). Items containing these substances should never be placed in the appliance, and never be used to clean the appliance in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.

4. This appliance must NOT be used for vacuuming burning, smoking, toxic, volatile or flammable substances. The appliance must NOT be used to clear sewers. An explosion may occur if the appliance suctions sewer gases. Sewer gases inhalation may lead to unconsciousness and death.

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 mediately.

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. The installation/assembly of the appliance will be made in accordance with the indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to persons, animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered responsible.

9. Place and use the appliance on a horizontal, stable and heat-resistant surface.

10. Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and power adapter (consisting of the adapter, plug and cable). In case you are not sure, contact a qualified person. If the 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.

How to clean

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 bottom of the appliance respectively.

2. Cleaning the Dustbin and strainers
   a. After you press the finger sign on the Swiveling cover, the cover will open 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.
   • If the Preliminary strainer and the Efficient strainer are damaged, replace them to avoid affecting the efficiency of the appliance.

2. Cleaning the Duster cloth
Remove the duster cloth, rinse it clean and dry it in the air.

3. Cleaning of Sensor lens & Electrodes
a. Use a cleaning tool or a piece of soft cloth to wipe the Sensors & Electrodes slightly. See positions indicated in the diagram below:
