How do you use a handheld vacuum?
Using a handheld vacuum is easy with the mini vacuum cleaner by Kobold®. Before you start using the vacuum for the first time, you must ensure that the vacuum cleaner is fully charged.
Charging the hand vacuum:
To charge your hand vacuum, you can either mount the charging unit to a wall or position the dock on a level surface. Once in position and plugged into a power supply, plug the mains cable into the designated charging socket that is located underneath the charging unit. Ensure your vacuum cleaner is switched off before every charge.
After using your hand vacuum for some time, the LED display will flash briefly, telling you that it’s ready to be charged.
Using the hand vacuum:
With two powerful suction modes, and smart LED lights to indicate different settings, you can clean with ease using the Kobold® Handheld Vacuum. By conducting the following simple steps, the mini vacuum cleaner can be used on many types of surfaces to clean up dust, dirt, pet hair, coarse crumbs and other allergens:
- Press the green button on the front of your hand vacuum to turn on and off
- Hold down the green button to activate the boost function
- Release the green button to turn to normal suction mode
Emptying the filter:
Emptying the hand vacuum filter is just as easy as using it! Simply:
- Press the release key on the underside of the nozzle end of the vacuum and remove the dust chamber
- Hold the dust chamber with the nozzle pointing downwards
- Press the release key again to remove the filter unit and empty the content into a bin
- If necessary, clean the dust chamber with a damp cloth, allow to dry, and reassemble
- Ensure the filter unit is aligned with the release key, and hold down on the key, pushing the filter unit into the dust chamber
