quality Australian lambswool
duster and conveniently suction
off the dust on-the-spot with
the cordless, rechargeable

BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE
8
Your DustTamer Ultra®uses a
cordless, rechargeable Vacuum
Chamber to suction dust off your
DustTamer
®
Duster. When fully
charged, your Vacuum Chamber
will have enough power to clean
your Duster dozens of times.
To charge your DustTamer
Ultra
®
, please do the following:
1. Remove the supplied AC
Adapter from the Carton and
connect it to the AC Adapter
Jack located at the rear bottom
of the Vacuum Chamber and
plug the AC Adapter into a wall
outlet. (See figure 1)
1Fig.
9
Important: Before first use,
charge your DustTamer Ultra
®
for at least 24 hours.
Note 1: To maintain a charge,
keep the AC Adapter and
Vacuum Chamber plugged into
a standard wall outlet at all
times. When charging, the AC
Adapter may be warm to the
touch. This is normal.
The Vacuum Chamber can be
left in one location during
dusting, (bringing the Duster
back to it for cleaning) or you
can carry the Vacuum
Chamber with you from room
to room for extra convenience.
(See figure 2)
Note 2: As with many
rechargeable products, we
recommend that the AC
Adapter not be plugged into
the wall outlet when the unit is
in use (i.e. while cleaning the
Duster with suction action).
2Fig.
2-STAGE FILTRATION SYSTEM
10
Traditional dusting tools push
allergy causing dust from one
spot to another or into the air.
With its 2-stage HEPA filtration
system, DustTamer Ultra
®
overcomes this problem.
(See figure 3)
Stage 1: A reusable, washable
Dust Drawer containing a
Stainless Steel Pre-Filter
Screen traps larger dust
particles for clean and
easy removal when full
(see “Maintenance”
section of this manual for
emptying instructions).
Stage 2: An included
FilterStream
®
certified
HEPA Filter captures
99.97% of microscopic
dust particles, pollen,
bacteria and other
allergens down to 0.3
microns in size.

Your DustTamer Ultra®includes a
professional quality 100%
Lambswool Duster made in
Australia.
Lambswool dusters are the choice
of cleaning professionals because
they are:
Fast - the large head covers large
areas quickly
Superior at Dust Pick Up -
lambswool has natural dust
grabbing fibers, electrostatic
action and lanolin oil that attracts
and holds dust like a magnet
Incredibly Soft & Versatile -
won’t scratch delicate items; great
for small figurines or large tables
Reusable - saves time and money!
LAMBSWOOL DUSTER • DUSTING
DUSTING
The included Lambswool Duster
is ideal for cleaning any areas
where dust accumulates:
• Venetian blinds
• lamps
• louvered doors
• fine furniture
• collectibles
• televisions/stereo equipment
• plant leaves
• computer monitors/keyboards
• automobile dashboards
For helpful dusting & cleaning
tips, see our handy DustTamer
®
Cleaning Tips booklet included
with your DustTamer Ultra
®
.
To clean your Lambswool Duster
in the Vacuum Chamber, simply
follow these steps:
a. Press and hold the unit’s
on/off switch to start the
suction action. (see figure 4)
b. Insert the lambswool duster
into the vacuum chamber and
slowly
move the duster in an
up and down twisting motion
several times. (see Figure 5)
c. The combination of the Dust
Agitation/Suction Vents with
the up and down twisting
motion will most effectively
remove dust from the
Lambswool Duster. Hold the
on/off switch to maintain the
suction. Release to turn the
unit off.
During the above cleaning
cycle, dust and allergens are
being suctioned away and
captured in the Dust Drawer’s
Stainless Steel Pre-Filter Screen
and the HEPA Filter (see figure
6). Only clean, allergen free air is
recirculated into your home.
Your Lambswool Duster is now
clean and ready to dust another
room in your house.
CLEANING LAMBSWOOL DUSTER WITH VACUUM CHAMBER
12
1. Your DustTamer Ultra
®
Vacuum Chamber can be
conveniently carried from
room to room operating on
battery power.
2. The number of times you
clean your Lambswool Duster
in the Vacuum Chamber will
be determined by the amount
of dust you pick up. Rooms
with heavy dust accumulation
may require several cleanings,
whereas small rooms or quick
touch-up dusting may only
require one cleaning.
Your DustTamer Ultra® is
designed to clean everyday
household dust, not thick,
decades old dust found in
attics, garages, warehouses, etc.
Note: To keep your Lambswool
Duster free of dust and allergens,
we recommend periodic cleaning
of your Lambswool Duster in
the Vacuum Chamber, even if
dust isn’t visible on the
Lambswool Duster.
