A healthy, happy home for a healthy, happy family

Controlling dust mites and allergiesDust mites are microscopic cousins of the spider that thrive in warm human environments, where they feed on skin flakes and pet dander. They flourish on surfaces where this matter accumulates: carpets, soft furnishing and bedding .

Research shows dust mites (and their faeces) are leading contributors to allergies and asthma . Research also shows that regular weekly vacuuming with a vacuum featuring a completely sealed system and a filter can significantly reduce the number of dust mites that occupy your home .


A healthy, happy home for a healthy, happy family

Vacuum cleaning tips for best resultsMinimise mess creation – have a ‘NO shoes inside’ policy to avoid walking in dirt and contaminants .

Pick up those small objects before you start. Don’t be tempted to suck up coins, paper or similar-sized objects – the may block or damage the Vacuum.

Take your time. While your Floor Wizard Vacuum is very efficient, good vacuuming practice takes time, so don’t rush things .

Dust other areas of your home before you vacuum . If you dust after, you will be spreading dust over your freshly vacuumed floors.

Vacuuming in multiple directions helps loosen dirt and contaminants, and helps carpets and rugs from appearing worn .

Make multiple passes over the surface . A single pass could leave embedded dirt in your carpet .

Have a schedule. Once a week is sufficient for most rooms in your home. High-traffic areas will need vacuuming more often. If you have pets that shed hair and dander, daily vacuuming may be needed .

Choose the right attachment: Vacuum head for carpets, rugs and hard floors. Upholstery Brush for furniture and mattresses . Crevice Tool for crevices and hard-to-reach places .

Move your furniture . You don’t have to do this every time you vacuum . However, on occasion, move couches and other furniture to vacuum underneath .

Each time you vacuum, start with an empty Dust Cup. Clean Filters every 3 months . Replace if necessary .

Technical data• Dust Cup capacity: 2.0 litre• Voltage: 230-240V• Rated frequency: 50Hz• Rated input power: 1400W• Maximum vacuum degree: >25kPa• Noise: <78DBA

Motor Protection FeaturesYour Floor Wizard Vacuum features auto cut-off. If the Head, Hose or Exhaust Outlet becomes blocked, the temperature of the motor will rise . The auto cut-off will cut power to the motor to prevent over-heating .

When this happens unplug the Power Cord, allow the motor to cool and check for blockages .

Clean or replace the Filter if necessary

After allowing the motor to cool for 30 minutes plug the Vacuum back in and check to see if the auto cut-off switch has been reset .
