• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put unit or charging base in water or other liquid.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• 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 or flamma­ble fumes. Although this vacuum is designed to pick up liquids, only the nozzle end 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.

WALL MOUNTABLE CHARGING BASE
The Charging Base recharges your DirtTamer Supreme V2400 vacuum and stores the vacuum with its cleaning tools for convenient access.
The Charging Base can be mounted vertically (see Figure A) or placed on a horizontal surface such as a counter, shelf, etc.
If you choose to wall mount the Charging Base, please follow these steps:
1.Pick a convenient position within 6 feet of an
electrical outlet. If the Charging Base will be
mounted closer to an outlet, wrap any excess
cord in the storage area on the back of the
Charging Base. (Note: Do not use an outlet
which is controlled with a wall switch).
2. Place the Charging Base against the wall in the
desired location and mark the center of each hole.
3.Drill a
3
16” diameter hole through the center of the top mark. Push a Plastic Wall Anchor into the drilled hole.
4.Insert one of the included screws and turn it until the screw head is
1
4” above the wall surface.
5.Recheck that the hole alignment is straight, then drill the second hole and install the other Plastic Wall Anchor and Screw.
6.Slide the Charging Base into place making sure the cord exits through one of the slots.

BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE
1. Plug the Charging Base into a 110/120 volt
electrical outlet.
2. IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the On/Off switch is turned to the “Off” position before charging. Otherwise, your vacuum will not charge.
3.Slide the vacuum downward onto the Charging Base making sure that the vacuum firmly hooks onto the Charging Base (see Figure B). Your vac­uum will begin charging and the Green LED light on the Charge Indicator will glow to show charg­ing is taking place. If your DirtTamer Supreme V2400 is completely out of power, a full recharge will take approximately 10 hours.
NOTE: before first use, charge your vacuum for at least 24 hours.
4.To maintain a charge, keep the Charger plugged
into a standard wall outlet at all times. When charging, the Charger may be warm to the touch. This is normal.

Your DirtTamer Supreme V2400 vacuum includes the following unique cleaning tools that will make your cleaning tasks easier.
1. SQUEEGEE
This tool has rubber edges for picking up liquid spills on hard surfaces such as floors, counter­tops, etc. Attach the Squeegee to your vacuum by pushing the tool firmly into the Bowl Nozzle.
2. EXTENDIBLE WAND/CREVICE TOOL
This “two in one” tool works great as a long reach cleaning wand or a crevice tool. To use as a long reach cleaning wand, simply extend the tool by pulling each end of the tool 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 corners, under appliances, etc.). To use as a crevice tool: simply compress the tool to your desired length and insert the larger end of the tool into the Bowl Nozzle. The crevice tool is then ready to use in tight places such as between car seats, in corners, etc.

Your DirtTamer Supreme vacuum is equipped with a unique Dirt Finding Headlight which allows you to easily see dirt and dust under furniture or in dark corners.
The headlight will operate when the vacuum is
switched “On”.

3-STAGE FILTRATION SYSTEM
Dirt Tamer Supreme has a revolutionary, patented 3-stage filtration system that provides superior suction for a longer period of time.
Stage 1: Large particles of debris are separated
from liquids and air. The large particles remain in the Pre-Filter for easy dis­posal (see “Maintenance” section of this manual for Pre-Filter and Bowl emptying instructions).
Stage 2: Liquids and smaller dirt particles are sepa-
rated from air and collected in the Bowl.
Stage 3: Fine dust/dirt particles are trapped by the
standard Foam Filter (included), or, with the included HEPA filter, 99.97% of dust, pollen, bacteria and other allergens down to 0.3 microns in size can be captured.
14
HOW TO USE
Remove your vacuum from the Charging Base and slide the On/Off Switch to the “On” posi­tion to operate. Slide the On/Off Switch to the “Off” position between cleaning tasks to con­serve power.
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.
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 thoroughly air dry before next use.
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.
(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 per-
ishable spills (e.g. milk, juice, etc.), empty your vacuum’s Bowl and Pre-Filter immediately and thor­oughly clean the Bowl, Pre-Filter, Filter Cover and Foam Filter to prevent mold and mildew from forming.
15
CLEANING TIPS
Your DirtTamer Supreme V2400 vacuum will be
more effective at cleaning up spills if you adhere to the following procedures:
CARPET CLEAN UPS
