This document serves as an instruction manual for a Hoover handheld vacuum cleaner, designed for domestic cleaning tasks.
Function Description:
The device is a handheld vacuum cleaner primarily intended for dry cleaning. It is equipped with a motor that generates suction to pick up dust and small debris. The vacuum cleaner features an On/Off switch for operation, a removable crevice tool for reaching tight spaces, a suction inlet, a power nozzle for general cleaning, a dust bin flap for easy emptying, a charging plug, a dust brush for delicate surfaces, and a dust bin open trigger. The appliance is designed for ease of use and portability, making it suitable for quick clean-ups around the home.
Important Technical Specifications:
The manual does not explicitly list detailed technical specifications such as motor power, battery type, or capacity. However, it implies that the device is powered by a rechargeable battery, as it mentions a "charging plug" and the need to "insert Power Plug into mains power supply socket" for charging. The appliance is designed for domestic use and should not be used for industrial purposes or for picking up flammable liquids, hot ashes, or sharp objects.
Usage Features:
- Power On/Off: The device is turned on by moving the switch to the 'ON' position and off by moving it to the 'OFF' position.
- Charging: Before first use, the appliance should be charged for 24 hours. Subsequent charging takes approximately 12 hours. The charging plug (F) is inserted into the charging inlet (G) on the appliance, and the power plug is connected to a mains power supply socket.
- Emptying the Dust Bin: To empty the dust bin, the dust bin flap (E) is opened by pressing the dust bin open trigger (H). The contents can then be emptied into a waste receptacle. It is recommended to empty the dust bin after each use.
- Attachments:
- Removable Crevice Tool (B): This tool is inserted into the dust cup to clean corners and hard-to-reach areas.
- Dust Brush (D): This brush is fitted onto the dust cup to clean keyboards and other delicate surfaces.
- Power Nozzle (C): This attachment is ideal for deep cleaning textile surfaces (e.g., sofas) and pet hair removal. It should be moved steadily backwards and forwards. To prevent the brush from stopping, the power nozzle should not be kept stationary while the brush is rotating. To clean the power nozzle, it can be detached from the container, and any hair/threads collected on the brush can be removed with scissors if necessary.
