Instructions for Use
Your Hoover HandiVac handheld vacuum cleaner is a rechargeable battery operated appliance. Therefore
to function properly you will be required to charge the batteries fully for effective use. See ‘Charging’
section for more information.
To operate, push the ON/OFF switch forward to turn the hand-held vacuum on. The hand vacuum will
then create suction to pick up dust and dirt (and wet liquids if compatible) as required.
NOTE: If you find the suction power is weak, or becomes weak, then recharge the hand vacuum fully.
To turn OFF, slide the ON/OFF switch backwards and the hand vacuum will stop.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that you check the level of dust/ dirt within the dust bin after each use. This can
be done easily as the dust bin is translucent. Empty the dust bin before you reach maximum level, and
periodically clean the filters to maintain optimum performance of your hand vacuum.
Dry Use Only – HandiVac 7.2 (3220)
This model is for use as a dry only vacuum, for cleaning dust, dirt and other household debris. This vacuum
is NOT suitable or designed for vacuuming any wet liquids or damp debris. The operation of this dry only
hand vacuum is similar to a ‘wet & dry’ vacuum. One physical difference is the filter, which on the HandiVac
7.2 is a single large cloth filter as pictured on the features page.
Dust bin capacity (DRY): 500 mL
Wet & Dry Use – HandiVac 9.6 (5220) & HandiVac 14.4 (7220)
These models are for use vacuuming both liquids and dry household dust and dirt. The operation of this
wet & dry hand-held vacuum is similar to the ‘dry only’ vacuum.
One key physical difference is the unique two piece filter system in the HandiVac 9.6 & 14.4 to optimise the
performance of the vacuum when/if vacuuming liquids. The outer filter is a hard plastic, and the inner filter
is a permanent washable filter.
Care must always be taken when vacuuming any liquids not to exceed the MAX capacity marked on the
dust bin. The use of vacuuming liquids is only for small household spills. After each use vacuuming liquids
the dust bin and filters must be cleaned and dried.
Dust bin capacity (Dry): 500 mL
Dust bin capacity (Wet): 150 mL
