The Anko VC8273-L-9 is a handheld vacuum cleaner designed for domestic cleaning tasks, offering both dry and wet vacuuming capabilities. This compact and portable appliance is intended for indoor use only, providing a convenient solution for quick clean-ups around the home.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Anko VC8273-L-9 is to effectively remove dust, dirt, and small debris from various surfaces. It operates as a handheld unit, making it ideal for reaching tight spaces, upholstery, car interiors, and other areas where a larger vacuum cleaner might be cumbersome. Its dual capability for dry and wet suction allows it to handle both solid particles and liquid spills, expanding its versatility for different cleaning scenarios. The vacuum is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery, providing cordless operation for enhanced mobility.

Usage Features:

The vacuum cleaner is designed for straightforward operation. To turn the device on, the user simply slides the On/Off switch forward. The "O" position signifies OFF, and "I" signifies ON. To stop operation, the switch is slid back. For optimal performance and battery life, it is recommended to return the product to its charging base after each use.

The Anko VC8273-L-9 comes with several attachments to enhance its cleaning capabilities:

Crevice Tool: A built-in crevice tool is integrated into the nozzle. For dry vacuuming, this tool can be flipped down to access narrow gaps and edges.
Rubber Wiper: For wet suction tasks, a rubber wiper attachment is provided. This wiper is designed to be pushed onto the nozzle, ensuring a tight fit, after the crevice tool has been folded away. This allows the vacuum to efficiently pick up liquids.
Brush Attachment: A separate brush attachment is included for general cleaning. To use the brush, the crevice tool should be flipped down, and the brush attachment then pushed onto the crevice tool, ensuring it is securely fixed. This brush is suitable for agitating and lifting dirt from surfaces like upholstery or carpets.

The charging process is simple: the charger is plugged into a wall outlet, ensuring the supply voltage matches the charger's rating. The vacuum cleaner must be switched off during charging. An indicator light flashes during charging and turns to a steady green once fully charged. When the battery level is high, the indication lights remain green, turning red when the battery level is low. The indicator will flash for approximately 20 seconds before the vacuum cleaner automatically turns off due to low battery. For the first use, it is advised to charge the vacuum for 6 hours and then completely discharge it. Subsequent normal charging time is 5 hours. To maintain optimum battery life, periodic charging (2 or 3 times a month) is recommended, even if the device is not used for an extended period.

Maintenance Features:

Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the vacuum cleaner's optimal performance and longevity. The Anko VC8273-L-9 features easy-to-maintain components:

Emptying the Dust Cup: The dust cup should be emptied regularly to prevent a decrease in suction power. To do this, the user presses the dust cup release button and pulls out the dust cup. The collected debris can then be disposed of.
Cleaning the Filter: The cloth filter is an essential component that requires regular cleaning. After removing the dust cup, the filter can be pulled out. Both the filter and the dust cup should be washed under rinsing water. After washing, they must be left to dry for a full 24 hours. It is critical to ensure that both the filter and the dust bin are thoroughly dried before being re-fitted into the unit. This prevents moisture-related issues and maintains hygiene.
Filter Importance: The manual emphasizes that filters must be cleaned regularly. This is vital for maintaining the best suction performance, preventing the appliance from overheating, and avoiding damage to the vacuum cleaner. The cloth filter must always be in place when operating the handheld vacuum cleaner, especially for both dry and wet vacuuming.

Safety and Disposal:

The device includes important safety guidelines, such as always switching off and removing the charger before cleaning or maintenance. It also warns against using the appliance outdoors or exposing it to weather, and never using it without the filters in place. For end-of-product-life battery disposal, the batteries should be fully discharged and removed from the cleaner. This involves disassembling the ergonomic handle, removing screws, disconnecting cables, and extracting the batteries, which should then be taken to a recycling station. The vacuum cleaner should only be used with the provided battery charger (WJA-Y081750400W) to prevent electrical failure or fire. Non-rechargeable batteries should not be recharged.
