Craftsman CMXEVBCV1660L Instruction Manual

To assemble the vacuum, start by attaching the hose to the inlet located on the main unit. Secure the extension wands to the hose and fit the desired nozzle or attachment to the end of the wand. Ensure all components click into place for a secure fit.
If the vacuum loses suction, check for clogs in the hose, wand, and attachments. Also, inspect the filter and clean or replace it if necessary. Ensure the dust container is not full and is properly attached.
To clean the filter, remove it from the vacuum unit. Tap it gently to dislodge loose debris. If the filter is washable, rinse it under warm water and allow it to dry completely before reinserting it into the vacuum.
Regular maintenance includes emptying the dust container, cleaning or replacing filters, checking for clogs, and inspecting hoses and attachments for damage. Perform these tasks after every few uses for optimal performance.
To replace the hose, detach the old hose by twisting it counterclockwise at the connection point. Attach the new hose by aligning it with the inlet and twisting it clockwise until it is secure.
Unusual noises can be caused by blockages, loose parts, or damaged components. Check for blockages in the hose and attachments, tighten any loose screws, and inspect for broken parts. If the noise persists, contact customer support.
To use the wet vacuum function, ensure the filter is appropriate for wet use (remove paper filters if applicable). Attach the appropriate nozzle for wet pickup and begin vacuuming. Empty the container promptly after use to prevent mildew.
When using the vacuum on wet surfaces, ensure all electrical components and outlets are dry. Use the vacuum away from water sources to prevent electrical hazards, and avoid submerging the vacuum or its parts.
To improve longevity, perform regular maintenance, avoid overfilling the dust container, clean filters frequently, and store the vacuum in a dry environment. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for use and care.
The vacuum typically includes a utility nozzle, crevice tool, and extension wands. Use the utility nozzle for general cleaning, the crevice tool for tight spaces, and extension wands for reaching high or distant areas.
