How to use

Connect the 6 m power cable to a suitable outlet and attach the 2 m suction hose with the detachable handle. Select the appropriate nozzle or brush for the surface: use the soft-bristled side of the suction brush for sensitive dashboard areas and the hard-bristled side for heavily soiled zones. For crevices and between seats, fit the extra-long crevice nozzle. For wet cleaning, ensure the cartridge filter and fleece bag are correctly installed if recommended by the manufacturer, then vacuum liquids cautiously following safety guidelines.

Recommendations

Use the supplied cartridge filter for mixed wet and dry cleaning to avoid frequent filter changes. Store nozzles on the machine head to keep accessories accessible. For persistent stains in upholstery, pre-treat with a suitable textile cleaner before vacuuming. Do not use the vacuum on flammable liquids or in explosive environments.
