Introduction Your new Verilux® CleanWave® Sanitizing Furniture & Bed Vac is both a convenient and powerful handheld vacuum and an easy to use bed vacuum. The handheld design makes it a fast and effective anytime, anywhere vacuum. As a bed vacuum, the combination of powerful suction and UV-C light quickly removes dust and dirt while eliminating up to 99.9%† of pests, viruses, bacteria and allergens* on household surfaces. † Eliminates up to 99.
CleanWave® Sanitizing Furniture & Bed Vac Features Your new Verilux® CleanWave Sanitizing Furniture & Bed Vac features: • A powerful ultraviolet (UV-C) illumination system that eliminates odors and up to 99.9%† of viruses (including H1N1), bacteria (including MRSA††), pests, mold, bed bug, dust mite and flea eggs on upholstery, bedding, fabrics and carpets. • Deodorizes and removes dangerous allergens* and flea eggs.
Initial Set-up Vacuuming with UV-C A 1. Attach the vacuum cleaner to the base unit. Insert it into the base unit and then press the rear down firmly. Press lever down when docking vacuum. Then pull up until lever clicks twice to lock (see Figure 1). Lock/Release Lever 2. Turn on the cleaner using the on/off switch. The UV-C bulb will turn on when the UV-C safety switch is in contact with the surface to be cleaned.
Mattress / Bedding Cleaning Guidelines In order for the UV-C light to be fully effective against bacteria and other pathogens, the area to be cleaned must be exposed for a sufficient time. We suggest the following guidelines: • Start in one corner of the bed. • Keep the vacuum flat against the mattress. • Move the vacuum in a smooth and steady motion. • To make sure that every part of the mattress is exposed, follow a predetermined pattern.
Care and Maintenance Cleaning the Inlet If the inlet is blocked by dust, completely remove the foreign materials – after first turning the vacuum OFF. A blocked inlet may result in weakened suction and noise. If the inlet is blocked, there is also a risk of damage or malfunction caused by overheating.

Care and Maintenance — continued Avoiding Exposure to Dust When emptying any vacuum cleaner, it is difficult to avoid exposure to dust. If you are an allergy sufferer or sensitive to dust, you can minimize this risk. 1. Place the collection cup in a large bag, and close the bag as tightly as possible around the cup before emptying it. 2. Remove the collection cup, close the bag tightly and dispose of immediately.
Replacing the UV-C Bulb Before replacing the bulb, make sure the vacuum cleaner is switched off and unplugged from the power outlet. The life span of the UV-C bulb, under normal use, is 2 to 3 years. Caution: Use only Verilux® bulbs. Use of an incorrect bulb can result in damage.
