This document provides instructions for the BLACK+DECKER FEJ520JF and FEJ520JFS Dustbuster® hand-held vacuum cleaners, designed for household vacuum cleaning purposes. It covers safety guidelines, operational procedures, and maintenance tips to ensure safe and effective use of the appliance.
The BLACK+DECKER Dustbuster® is a versatile hand-held vacuum cleaner designed for general household cleaning tasks. It features a powerful motor and a range of attachments to tackle various cleaning challenges, from quick spills to more extensive floor cleaning. The appliance is equipped with a rechargeable battery, offering cordless convenience. Its design allows for both handheld use and conversion into a stick vacuum with the floor extension tube and head, making it adaptable to different cleaning needs. The vacuum also incorporates a "smart tech" multi-LED display that provides visual feedback on the appliance's status, including charging, filter condition, and BOOST mode activation.
Switching On and Off: The appliance operates with a simple on/off power switch. A single press turns the unit on in a low power mode, which conserves battery life. Pressing the button again activates BOOST mode for increased cleaning performance. A third press turns the product off.
Pull Out Crevice Tool: For reaching tight spaces and corners, the vacuum includes a pull-out crevice tool. To use it, extend the tool until it clicks into place. A push-in brush can be fitted onto the crevice tool for dusting and upholstery cleaning. To retract the crevice tool, press the release button, allowing it to return to its normal position.
Floor Extension Tube: The floor extension tube transforms the hand-held unit into a stick vacuum. The nozzle of the hand-held unit slides into the floor extension tube until an audible 'click' confirms it's securely in place. The tube also features a flip-down brush, which is useful for cleaning difficult-to-reach areas on floors.
Floor Head: The floor head attaches to the end of the floor extension tube, again with an audible 'click' to ensure a secure connection. This attachment is designed for efficient floor cleaning.
Floor Sense Feature: A unique floor sensing feature allows the appliance to automatically adjust its cleaning mode. When it detects thick pile carpet, it switches from low speed to BOOST mode to provide greater cleaning performance without manual intervention.
Charging: The appliance can be charged either as a single hand-held unit or while attached to the floor extension. To charge, the charger is placed into the charging port, and then plugged into an electrical outlet. The LED charging indicator will illuminate to show that charging is in progress. The multi-LED display provides detailed information on the battery's state of charge, filter status, and BOOST mode activation. The battery icon illuminates when charging is required, and the LED display indicates the current charge level.
Wall Mounting: For convenient storage, a wall bracket is provided. The wall mount can be attached to a wall, ensuring the fixing method is suitable for the wall type and the weight of the appliance. When mounting, ensure the location is within reach of an electrical outlet for charging the vacuum while it's on the bracket.
Multi LED Display: The multi-LED display offers crucial feedback:
Cleaning the Filters: Regular filter cleaning is essential for maintaining optimal performance. The process involves:
Replacing the Filters: Filters should be replaced every 6 to 9 months, or sooner if they appear worn or damaged. Replacement filters are available from BLACK+DECKER dealers. Pre-scented filters are also available. Worn-out filters should be disposed of at a local recycling center. The replacement process involves removing the old filters as described in the cleaning section and fitting new ones.
Removing and Clearing Hair from the Beater Bars: To maintain the effectiveness of the floor head, hair and debris should be regularly cleared from the beater bars.
General Maintenance:
Safety Precautions: Always read the manual carefully before operating the appliance. Do not use the appliance to pick up liquids or flammable materials. Avoid using it near water or immersing it. Never pull the charger lead to disconnect it; keep the lead away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. If any part is damaged or defective, do not use the appliance and have it repaired by an authorized agent. Regularly check the charger lead for damage. The appliance/battery must be charged in a well-ventilated area. Children aged 8 and above, and persons with reduced capabilities, can use the appliance under supervision and after understanding the hazards involved. Children should not play with the appliance or perform cleaning and user maintenance without supervision.
