Overview

The Dreame M12 is a versatile wet and dry vacuum cleaner designed for comprehensive floor cleaning. It functions primarily as a floor washer, capable of both wet and dry vacuuming, and can also convert into a handheld vacuum for more targeted cleaning tasks.

Function Description

The Dreame M12 operates in several modes to adapt to different cleaning needs. By default, it powers on in Auto Mode, where it intelligently adjusts its suction power based on the cleaning situation, making it suitable for general floor washing. For scenarios where only liquid vacuuming is required, the Suction Mode can be selected. In this mode, the appliance vacuums water without dampening the brush roller, and no water is dispensed from the clean water tank.

When converted into a handheld vacuum, the device defaults to Standard Mode, providing effective cleaning for various surfaces. For more intensive handheld cleaning, a Turbo Mode is available, offering increased suction power.

A key feature of the Dreame M12 is its One-Touch Self-Cleaning function. After completing a cleaning task, the appliance can be placed back on its charging base to initiate a self-cleaning cycle. This function ensures the brush roller and internal components are cleaned, simplifying maintenance. It's important to note that self-cleaning requires the appliance to be charged and have a battery level of at least 15%, with sufficient water in the clean water tank.

The device is equipped with a display screen that provides real-time information. This includes the current Suction Mode, Battery Status Indicator, and Dirt Level Indicator, which changes color based on the amount of dirt detected. The screen also shows Error Messages if the appliance is not working properly, such as insufficient water in the clean water tank, a full used water tank, a blocked tube, or a stuck/not installed brush roller. A Voice Prompt Button allows users to activate voice prompts, adjust volume, and access language settings.

Usage Features

Setting up the Dreame M12 is straightforward. The handle is inserted vertically into the main body until a click is heard, securing it in place. The storage box can then be installed onto the charging base. Before first use, the appliance should be fully charged by placing it on the charging base, which should be positioned against a wall on level ground and connected to a power source. The display screen will indicate the charging status and battery level.

To use as a floor washer, the Clean Water Tank needs to be filled. This involves pressing the release button, removing the tank, opening its cover, filling it with clean water, and then re-installing it until it clicks into place. For enhanced cleaning performance, 10ml of officially-approved detergent can be added to a full clean water tank, shaken gently, and evenly. It's crucial to only add officially-approved cleaners.

To begin cleaning, the user gently steps on the brush cover and reclines the appliance backward. The Power Switch starts operation, and the Mode Switch allows toggling between Auto and Suction modes. While operating, the appliance should not be reclined more than 140° to prevent water leakage. It's also advised not to lift, move, tilt, or lay the appliance flat during operation to avoid used water flowing into the motor. If the appliance is in an upright position during work, the current task will be suspended.

After cleaning, the Used Water Tank must be emptied. This is done by pressing the release button, removing the tank, taking off the cover, pouring out the used water, and then re-installing the tank.

The Dreame M12's versatility extends to handheld vacuuming. To convert, the handvac release button is pressed to detach the handvac. The dust cup assembly and other attachments are then installed onto the handvac until a click is heard. The handheld vacuum is started by briefly pressing the handvac Power Switch, and the handvac mode switch allows switching between Standard and Turbo modes.

The device comes with various attachments for different cleaning scenarios:

  • A 2-in-1 crevice nozzle is provided for cleaning corners, stairs, sofas, coffee tables, and other narrow spaces.
  • A storage mount is available for storing the dust cup assembly and the 2-in-1 crevice nozzle when not in use.
  • A storage box is included for organizing the cleaning brush, filter, and spare brush roller.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of the Dreame M12. Before any care or maintenance, the appliance should be turned off, and the power switch should not be touched. Parts should be replaced with those from the manufacturer or its service agent. For extended storage, the appliance should be fully charged, unplugged, and stored in a cool, low-humidity environment away from direct sunlight, with recharging every 3 months to prevent over-discharge.

Cleaning the Used Water Tank and Filter:

It is recommended to clean the Used Water Tank after each use and replace the filter every 3 to 6 months.

  1. Remove the Used Water Tank by pressing its release button.
  2. Take out the filter from the tank cover, remove the cover, and pour out the wastewater.
  3. Rinse the Used Water Tank and its cover with water. The provided cleaning brush can be used to clean the inner wall of the tank.
  4. Close the tank cover and re-install the Used Water Tank, ensuring it clicks into place. The filter, if dirty, should be rinsed with water and completely dried before re-use.

Cleaning the Tube and Dirt Sensor:

After removing the Used Water Tank, the tube and dirt sensor should be wiped with a wet cloth.

Cleaning the Dust Cup Assembly:

Cleaning the dust cup after each use or when the dust reaches the MAX line is recommended, with filter replacement every 3 to 6 months.

  1. Press the dust cup release button to remove the cup.
  2. Take out the filter and cyclone assembly from the dust cup, then empty the cup. Note: The cyclone assembly should not be rinsed with water to avoid electric shock or injury.
  3. Gently tap the filter or clean it with the cleaning brush. Rinse the filter and the dust cup with water.
  4. Completely dry the filter and dust cup before re-assembly.

Cleaning the Brush Assembly:

Cleaning the brush assembly as needed is advised, with alternating use of the two provided brush rollers and replacement every 3 to 6 months.

  1. Press the brush roller cover release buttons inwards on both sides to remove the cover. Then, press the brush roller release button, and the handle of the brush roller will pop out. Pull the handle to remove the brush roller.
  2. Clean any tangled hair and debris from the brush roller using the provided cleaning brush. Rinse the brush roller with clean water and dry it completely.
  3. Wipe the suction inlet with a dry cloth or wet tissue. Do not rinse the brush assembly with water.
  4. After cleaning, re-install the brush roller and its cover, ensuring they click into place.

The Dreame M12 is designed to be user-friendly with its intuitive controls and clear display. In case of any issues, the display screen will show an error message, and a troubleshooting table in the manual provides guidance for common problems and their solutions. For persistent issues, customer service can be contacted. The product contains a built-in lithium-ion battery that must be removed by qualified technicians and disposed of at an appropriate recycling facility when the appliance is scrapped.
