The Sauber SH-100 Pro Hand Vacuum is a compact and versatile cleaning appliance designed for domestic household use, specifically for removing dry dirt and dust from carpets, flooring, walls, and fabrics. It is not intended for industrial cleaning or for picking up flammable items, combustible liquids, or toxic materials. The vacuum operates in two modes: normal and maximum suction, allowing users to adjust the cleaning power based on their needs.
Function Description:
The SH-100 Pro Hand Vacuum is a cordless device, powered by a rechargeable lithium battery, offering freedom of movement without being tethered to a power outlet. Its primary function is to provide quick and efficient spot cleaning or to reach areas that larger vacuum cleaners might miss. The vacuum features a HEPA filter and a stainless steel mesh filter, which work together to capture dust and debris, ensuring cleaner exhaust air. The dust bin is transparent, allowing users to easily monitor the fill level and know when it needs emptying.
Usage Features:
To operate the vacuum, users press the On/Off Button once for normal mode. A second press activates the maximum suction mode for more demanding cleaning tasks. A third press turns the device off. The vacuum is designed for ease of use, with a simple button interface.
The SH-100 Pro Hand Vacuum comes with several accessories to enhance its versatility:
- Crevice Tool: This attachment is ideal for reaching tight spaces, corners, and crevices where dust tends to accumulate, such as between couch cushions, along baseboards, or in car interiors.
- Dusting Brush: The dusting brush is designed for cleaning delicate surfaces like blinds, bookshelves, lampshades, and keyboards, effectively removing dust without scratching.
The vacuum is charged using a dedicated charging base or by connecting the charger directly to the top of the cleaner. The battery indicator light provides feedback on the charging status, flashing blue when charging and turning solid blue once fully charged. It is recommended to charge the product after each use to maintain maximum performance. For safety, the vacuum cannot be switched on while it is charging.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of the Sauber SH-100 Pro Hand Vacuum. Users should always switch off the cleaner and remove the power plug from the power supply before performing any maintenance tasks or fitting/removing accessories.
Key maintenance steps include:
- Emptying the Dust Bin: The dust bin should be emptied after each use or when the dust reaches the maximum fill line. This is done by pressing the Dust Bin Lid Release Button or by twisting the dust bin anti-clockwise to detach it from the main body of the vacuum.
- Cleaning the Filter Set: The filter set, consisting of the HEPA filter and stainless steel mesh filter, also requires regular cleaning. To access the filters, the dust bin must first be removed by rotating it anti-clockwise to the unlock position. Then, the entire filter set can be removed by turning it anti-clockwise and pulling it off the machine. The HEPA filter can be separated from the stainless steel mesh filter and cleaned with a tissue or water to remove accumulated dust and debris. It is important to ensure the filters are completely dry before reassembling them into the vacuum.
- Charging: The vacuum requires a charging time of 3-4 hours after each use to ensure it is ready for subsequent cleaning tasks. The charger is designed for indoor use only, and the battery should be charged and stored in a dry indoor area with a temperature between 4°C and 40°C.
The manual provides troubleshooting tips for common issues such as the cleaner not starting, reduced suction, or charging indicator light problems, guiding users through potential causes and solutions. It also lists spare parts with their corresponding part numbers, facilitating easy replacement of components like the filter set, charger adaptor, and dust bin if needed. The device is designed with non-replaceable battery cells, and users are advised not to attempt to open or repair the battery themselves.
