Function Description:
The WD30BV1 is a versatile cleaning appliance capable of both dry vacuuming and wet vacuuming, as well as a blower function. For dry vacuuming, it uses a dust bag and a HEPA filter to capture dirt and debris. For wet vacuuming, the dust bag must be removed, and the HEPA filter should be fitted. The blower function allows for cleaning hard-to-reach areas or clearing leaves from garden beds by connecting the suction hose to the blower connection. Additionally, the vacuum features a 240V power outlet with a maximum output of 1000W, enabling users to connect a power tool and use the vacuum as an extractor simultaneously.

Usage Features:
The vacuum cleaner is designed for ease of use and efficiency.
- Assembly: The assembly process involves connecting the hose handle to the first chrome tube, then connecting the first tube to the second, and finally attaching the desired cleaning accessory. The rear wheel housing set is inserted and secured with screws, followed by pushing in the small castor wheels. The hose end is then inserted into the hose inlet, and the cleaner is started by pressing the on/off switch.
- Variable Suction Control: A regulator on the hose handle allows users to adjust suction power. Closing the regulator increases suction for hard floors, while opening it reduces suction for long pile carpets or rugs.
- Dry Vacuum Cleaning: For dry cleaning, ensure the HEPA filter and a dust bag are properly fitted. The dust bag should be replaced when full. The vacuum can be operated in position "I" or "II" if using the power outlet.
- Wet Vacuum Cleaning: Before wet vacuuming, the dust bag must be removed, and the HEPA filter must be fitted. After wet cleaning, the tank should be emptied using the drain port and wiped clean with lukewarm water. Wet pick-up accessories should be washed periodically.
- Blower Function: To activate the blower, connect the suction hose to the blower connection.
- Power Outlet: The integrated 240V power outlet allows for simultaneous use with a power tool, turning the vacuum into an extractor. The vacuum powers on when the power tool is activated, provided the vacuum switch is in the "II" position.
- Accessories: The WD30BV1 comes with a range of accessories to tackle different cleaning tasks:
- Gulper Advance Floor Tool: Features ball bearings for smooth gliding and a lip seal for optimal suction, with a rubber bumper bar to protect skirting boards.
- Wet and Dry Floor Tool: Ideal for liquid spills.
- Crevice Tool: For reaching tight spaces like radiators, crevices, corners, and baseboards.

Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of the WD30BV1.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the cleaner from the mains power supply before any maintenance work.
- Canister and Filter Access: Release the locking latches to remove the canister lid. Unlock the locking knob to remove the HEPA filter.
- Dust Bag and Tank Cleaning: Remove the dust bag when full. Empty and thoroughly clean the tank with lukewarm water.
- HEPA Filter Cleaning: The HEPA filter should be washed carefully with lukewarm water and allowed to air dry for at least 24 hours before re-fitting.
- Exhaust Filter Replacement: The exhaust filter should be replaced every six months.
- Auto Clean Button: This feature helps maintain filter efficiency. While the vacuum is powered, block the hose inlet completely and press the Filter Auto Clean Button 2-3 times.
- Cord and Plug: In case of damage to the cord or plug, it must be repaired by a qualified technician.
- General Care: Avoid operating the vacuum near hot surfaces. Do not immerse electrical parts in water. Store the appliance indoors in a cool, dry place.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides guidance for common issues:
- Suction weakens or cleaner runs hot: Check for a clogged filter (brush dirt or change filter), air leak (check fittings and tank seal), or obstruction in the hose or floor tool.
- Misting in the exhaust air: Indicates a saturated filter, which should be removed along with the filter mesh.
The manufacturer recommends annual servicing by a qualified technician to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Using unapproved or non-recommended consumables will void the warranty.
