Maintenance - Black+Decker HWVI225J01 Instruction Manual

• Do not fill the dust bowl (3) beyond the end of the
intake chute.
WET AND DRY PICK UP
• For everyday spills of dry material, use your appliance
without the squeegee accessory.
• CAUTION: Your product is designed for light spills
only.
• This vacuum can also be used to pick up everyday
liquid spills. Use the squeegee accessory on non-
absorbent, hard surfaces. On absorbent surfaces,
such as carpet, your appliance will pick up wet spills
better without the accessory.
• For best performance on hard surface wet pickups,
insert squeegee into the bowl nozzle opening.
• For best results when using this accessory, hold the
appliance at an angle of 45° and pull it slowly towards you.
• Do not fill the bowl beyond the end of the intake chute.
If there is any liquid in the bowl, do not turn the unit
upside down, sideways, point the nozzle upward, or
shake the vac excessively.
• After picking up liquid substances clean the vac and
filter immediately. Mold and mildew may form if the
unit is not properly cleaned after wet pickups.
• If charging in a vertical position, be sure to empty all
liquid contents to avoid damage to your appliance.
OPTIMIZING THE SUCTION FORCE
In order to keep the suction force optimized, the filter must
be cleaned regularly during use.
EMPTYING AND CLEANING THE PRODUCT.
WARNING:
Never use the vac without its filter.
NOTE:
The filter and foam insert are reusable, do not
confuse them with a disposable dust bag, and do not throw
them away when the product is emptied. We recommend
that you replace the foam insert every 6-9 months
depending on frequency of use.
• Figure E - Remove the dust bowl by pressing the bowl
release button and pulling the bowl straight off.
• To replace the dust bowl, place it back onto the handle
until it "clicks" firmly into position.
• Figure F - While holding the dust bowl over a
wastebasket or sink, pull out the filter and foam insert
to empty the contents of the bowl.
• Figure G - Empty the dust from the bowl and wash if
necessary.
• Figure H - The dust bowl can be washed in warm
soapy water. Wash the filter and foam insert regularly
using warm, soapy water and ensure that they are
completely dry before using again. The cleaner they
are, the better the product will perform.
• Ensure that the dust bowl, filter, and foam insert are
dry before reattaching.
• It is very important that the filter is correctly in position
before use.
IMPORTANT:
Maximum dust collection will only be
obtained with a clean filter 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.
REPLACING THE FILTER
The foam insert should be replaced every 6 to 9 months
and whenever worn or damaged. Replacement filter is
available from your Black+Decker dealer.Visit www.
blackanddecker.com to locate dealers.
• • Remove the old filter as described above.
• • Fit the new filter as described above.

MAINTENANCE

Bowls and filters can be washed thoroughly; however, use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the main part of

RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (other
than those listed in this manual) should be performed
