Product Information

The VCB15 is an electrical vacuum cleaner manufactured by Grepool. It comes with a telescopic pole assembly and a rear impeller for debris capture. The cleaner has a filter bag and a transparent suction head part that can be easily detached for cleaning. The battery life of the cleaner is approximately 30 minutes after full charging. The charger provided with the cleaner should be used for charging and should be kept in a well-ventilated area away from sunlight, children, heat, and ignition sources.

Product Usage Instructions

Charging:
The charging of the cleaner must be done indoors, in a well-ventilated area away from sunlight, children, heat, and ignition sources. Use the original charger provided only. Make sure the cleaner and charger are clean and dry before setup. Charge the cleaner for at least 3 hours prior to the first use.

Set Up for Operation:
To release the handle, press down the side pin and pull out the handle. Insert the end (with one side pin) of the Pole Connector into the cleaner until its single side pin is secured in the Hand Locking Hole of the cleaner. Slide and align the side holes of the telescopic with the side pins of the Pole Connector. To release the telescopic pole, press down two sides simultaneously and pull out the pole.

Cleaning:
After using the electric cleaner, take the transparent body off the electric cleaner (following the OPEN-CLOSE direction, rotate to OPEN direction 90 degrees), and take the garbage out of the transparent body, and then clean it. Take out the rear part of filter bag, and take out the filter bag, and get out the garbage, and then clean the filter bag.

Troubleshooting:
If the cleaner does not capture the debris, it may be due to battery running out or impeller jamming. If garbage flows out from the transparent suction head part, it may be due to a damaged filter sock. If garbage flows out from the rear filter bag, it may be due to a broken impeller. If the handle/pole connector cannot be secured in assembly, it may be due to a broken side pin. If the cleaner cannot be recharged, it may be due to a dead battery or an out- of-order charger. Refer to the manual for possible remedies.

Always make sure the cleaner is powered off when servicing and contact the dealer for the replacement of parts or batteries. Using the wrong charger will damage the cleaner/battery and void the warranty.

CAUTION!

How to judge whether the battery is destroyed or the impeller is jammed?

1. The impeller suddenly is choked after it worked in a very short time. Turn off the button, and connected the electric cleaner to the civil electricity by means of the charger. lf the Green LEO is on, it proves that the battery is destroyed (the solution is referring to the step of how to replace the destroyed battery group); if the Red LEO is on, start the power of P1111 to see whether the impeller will be rotating or not. lf not, it proves that the impeller is jammed. (The solution is referring to how to resolve the problem that the impeller is jammed).
2. The Green LEO indicator is on after it is charged. Start the power, whereas the impeller does not work; turn off the button.
   • Connect the charger, and press the button to check whether there is a sound of impeller operation. If it produces a “Kaka” sound, it proves that the impeller is jammed(the solution is referring to how to resolve the problem that the impeller is jammed).
   • Connect the charger, and press the button to check whether the impeller works normally. Turn off the button, and if the Green indicator is on, pull the charger off the P1111 electric cleaner. Start the power again. lf the impeller still does not work, it proves that the battery is destroyed.
   • Using the voltmeter to judge whether the battery is destroyed or the impeller is an obstacle. Firstly charging the battery for more than 1O minute. Pull the battery out the P1111 electric cleaner, and measure the voltage of the battery. lf it is “O”, the battery is in dysfunctional; if it is not “O”, it proved that the impeller is jammed.
3. Directly rotate the impeller until it can be moved smoothly(Referring to how to resolve the problem that the impeller is jammed), and have the battery full of electricity. The battery is destroyed if the impeller does not rotate.
