BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE
• Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the
vacuum as they may damage the vacuum and
the filters.
• Do not use to pick up toxic substances,
flammable or combustible liquids, such as
gasoline, or operate in the presence of explosive

of the bowl should be placed in a liquid.
Do not immerse the entire vacuum in any liquid.
• Do not operate in the presence of explosives
and/or flammable fumes or liquids.
• Do not unplug the charger by pulling on the
cord. Never carry the charger or base by the
cord or yank to disconnect from an outlet;
instead, grasp the charger and pull to
disconnect. Do not pull cord around sharp
edges or corners.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire, electrical shock or injury:
• Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children. Do not
allow this vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy.
• Do not use without bowl and filters in place.
Clean bowl, pre-filter, filter cover, and foam filter

food items.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock,
do not put unit or charging base in water or
other liquid.
• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of
a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
The vacuum should be placed or mounted away
from sinks and hot surfaces.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking,
such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

• The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. Only plug the charger into a
standard electrical outlet (120V/60 Hz).
• Use only the charger supplied with this unit to
recharge this vacuum.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only
FilterStream™ DirtTamer™ accessories and filters.
• This product contains a sealed lead acid battery.
Do not incinerate the battery as it will explode at
high temperatures. Always dispose of the
battery in accordance with your state’s laws.
• Leaks from a battery cell can occur under
extreme conditions. If the battery liquid gets on
skin, wash immediately with water. If it gets in
your eyes, immediately flush your eyes with a
mild solution of baking soda and water and seek
medical attention.
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any
other product.
• Never handle the plug or vacuum with wet hands.
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or charger.
If this unit has been dropped into water, or if it

in opposite directions (the tool will expand like
an accordion) and insert the larger end into the
Bowl Nozzle. The wand is then ready for
cleaning hard to reach areas (e.g. ceiling

position to operate. Slide the On/Off Switch to
the “Off” position between cleaning tasks to

PICKING UP LIQUIDS OR WET DEBRIS
Use your vacuum to pick up liquids or wet debris.
For ideal performance, we recommend the use of
the Foam Filter for liquid debris.
(a) For liquid pickups, insert the Squeegee into
the Bowl Nozzle and pull the Squeegee
through the liquid.
PICKING UP DRY DEBRIS
Use your vacuum for picking up dirt, dust, food
crumbs, etc. from counters, bare floors, rugs,
automobile interiors, upholstered furniture, etc.
After dry pickups, empty and clean the Bowl and
Foam Filter before picking up liquid or wet spills.
Note: If using a HEPA Filter in place of the Foam
Filter, shake loose, or brush off any dust or debris
from the HEPA Filter if you notice any build-up.
DO NOT WASH OR RINSE THE HEPA FILTER,
as this may damage the HEPA material.
(b) Do not fill the Bowl beyond the end of the
Pre-Filter (about 9 oz. of liquid). If there is any
liquid in the Bowl, hold the Bowl Nozzle down
to avoid leakage. Tipping the Bowl Nozzle up
may cause the liquid to enter the fan area.
(c) After picking up
perishable spills (e.g.
milk, juice, etc.),
empty your vacuum’s
Bowl and Pre-Filter
If the HEPA Filter accidentally gets wet from
vacuuming wet spills, remove the HEPA Filter,
pat it dry with a paper towel, and allow it to
