IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER

WARNING

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before picking up or carrying the appliance.  Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch or energizing appliance that has the switch on invites accidents.

• Do not touch nozzle when the vacuum cleaner is on. Danger.

• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any openings blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that  may reduce air flow.

• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

• Do not operate the vacuum cleaner or charger if it has been  damaged in any way. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped  into water, call the Eureka Customer Service HELPLINE at 1-800-282-2886

• To avoid excessive heat and damage to the unit or battery, the vacuum cleaner will not operate while charging.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
  A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may  create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.’

• Do not pull or carry the charger by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• This charger is not intended for use by travelers.

• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current- carrying capacity for the charger.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not handle charger or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

• Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• DO NOT MUTILATE OR INCINERATE BATTERIES. THEY BECOME DANGEROUS AT HIGH TEMPERATURES.

• Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. If the liquid gets on the skin, (1) seek medical attention, (2) wash quickly with soap and water, and (3) neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

• This product is functioning at temperature range within 400F – 104%.

• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 2660F may cause explosion.

• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.

• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.

• The terminals on both the vacuum cleaner and battery should be kept free and clean of objects. Do not insert metal objects inside the terminals.

• This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

• Do not use without filters in place.

• Use extra care when cleaning stairs.

• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.

• Store vacuum cleaner and charger indoors in a cool, dry area.
  To avoid electric shock and/or cleaner damage, do not expose to weather elements.

• Keep your work area well lit. Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.

• Overcharging, short circuiting, reverse charging, mutilating or incinerating the cells and the batteries must be avoided.

• If a cell or a battery has leaked or vented, it should be replaced immediately using protective gloves.

• If and when necessary, these cells or batteries must be  replaced with identical new ones from the same manufacturer.
  If a cell or a battery to be replaced is connected with other cells or batteries in series, it is recommended that the other cells or batteries be replaced with new ones at the same time.

• Reverse polarity installation of the cell or the battery in the end product must be avoided.

What comes in the carton

Charging the stick vacuum cleaner

Easy assembly

How to use the stick vacuum cleaner

Ensure the stick vac is fully charged and assembled before using. Always take care when vacuuming stairs.

1. There are two power settings on the stick vac:
Max mode (this has a higher suction power but a shorter running time, approx 15 mins) and Eco mode (lower suction power with a longer running time, approx 30 mins).
The stick vac will always start in Max mode. The run time may vary depending on the surface being cleaned.

How to maintain your vacuum cleaner

Dust cup- Empty after each use

REMOVING AND CLEANING THE DUST CUP AND FILTERS

REMOVING AND CLEANING THE FLOOR NOZZLE AND ROLLER BRUSH

Before starting any cleaning, ensure the stick vac is not charging and is switched off and remove the floor nozzle from the rest of the stick vac.

If the roller brush becomes tangled during use, the automatic thermal cut out will shut off the stick vac. If that happens, please follow below steps.

CLEARING A BLOCKAGE

Ensure the stick vac is not plugged into the main power supply and is switched off before
dismantling the vac.

The stick vac would only become blocked if the dust cup has exceeded the ‘Max’ level, the filters
are clogged up or a large object has been sucked up.

1. Check the dust cup (O) and empty if necessary.
2. Check the 2 filters (M) and (Q) in the unit, remove any debris/dust and wash if necessary.
3. If the floor nozzle (l) or crevice tool (P) were in use, detach them from the hand vacuum (E) or extension pole (G).
4. Detach the extension pole (G) and look down it to see if there are any blockages. If there are, use the handle of a broom to clear the obstruction. Take care not to damage the pole in the process.
5. Check the roller brush for any hair or thread which may have become wrapped around the roller. Cut away with a pair of scissors. To do this safely, remove as shown in the ‘Removing and cleaning the floor nozzle roller brush’ section of this manual. Every time you empty the dust cup, check the filter assembly and tap gently over the household bin to remove any excess dust.
6. Once empty close the lid until it clicks shut.

STORING THE CORDLESS STICK VAC

Your stick vac can be stored safely and securely by hanging from the wall mount (T) supplied with your product or by removing all the attachments and stowing together in a cupboard. Either way will help avoid the product falling over and causing damage.

Always turn off and unplug from the mains supply before storing.

1. Remove any attachments if the stick vac was last used with them on.
2. Store the stick vac and accessories away safely in a dry place.
