How To Use

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. B)
Fix the charging base within reach of an electrical outlet, as illustrated, using the screws and
plugs supplied. Plug in and place the product in position. Always mount in an upright (handle
up) position.
NOTE: Avoid damaging the cord while fixing the base to the wall or when removing or
replacing the product from the base.
RECHARGING (FIG. C)
From new, the rechargable cells of the product need a minimum charge time of 16 hours to
ensure full power. We suggest you fully discharge the product when it is used for the first time
as this will help the cells recharge faster. The switch must be in the off ("O") position, the
product will not charge if it is in any other position. While charging, the product may get warm,
this is perfectly normal and safe. It can remain on charge indefinitely without damage or
danger. It is not possible to "overcharge" the battery cells with the charger provided.
OPERATION (FIG. D)
This product is for dry pick-up only.
To start, slide the On/Off switch forward (i.e. "O"= Off, "I" = On). To stop, slide the switch back.
Always return the product to the charging base immediately after use so that it will be ready
and fully charged for the next use. Ensure that the product is fully engaged on the charging
base.
CLEANING THE PRODUCT (FIGS . E-I)
WARNING: Never use the Dustbuster without its filters.
NOTE: The filters are re-usable, do not confuse them with disposable dust bags, and do not
throw them away when the product is emptied. We recommend that you replace the filters
every 6-9 months depending on frequency of use.
•
FIG. E Remove the dust bowl by pressing the dust bowl release button and pulling the bowl
down and out. To replace the bowl, place it back onto the handle and click firmly into posi-
tion.
FIG. F • Empty the dust from the bowl and wash if necessary (see Fig. H).
•
FIG. G To remove the filter twist it in a clockwise direction. Shake or lightly brush any loose
dust off the filter.When replacing, always attach secondary (paper) filter first, followed by pri-
mary (plastic) filter on outside.
FIG. H • Wash the filter regularly using warm, soapy water and ensure that it is completely
dry before using it again. The cleaner the filters are, the better the product will perform. It is
very important that the filter is correctly in position before use. The dust bowl can also be
washed in warm soapy water. Ensure that it is dry before re-attaching.
IMPORTANT: Maximum dust collection will only be obtained with clean filters and an empty
dust bowl. If dust begins to fall back out of the product after it is switched off, this indicates
that the bowl is full and requires emptying.
•
FIG. I Never immerse the product in water. A damp cloth and soapy water should be used
to clean the exterior of the motor section. Always ensure the product is completely dry before
re-use or storing.
ECONOMIC USAGE
• Your product is very economical to charge. While it is charging it uses less than half the
amount of electricity used by a light bulb.
•
When fully charged, the average effective usage times are between 8-10 minutes.
•
It may take several chargings before these times can be achieved.
