Understanding Dust Mites
Roughly 4 out of 5 homes in the U.S. have detectable levels of dust mites as well as other allergens, bacteria and viruses. Dust mites and their waste products are one of the most common causes of year-round allergies and asthma. Due to their tiny size and translucent bodies, dust mites can’t be seen with the naked eye. Dust mites flourish in the warm, humid temperatures of homes and feed on the tiny flakes of human skin that people normally shed each day. These flakes of skin work their way deep into the inner layers of furniture, bedding, and even into stuffed toys — places where mites thrive. We spend approximately 1/3 of our lives sleeping, where we shed a lot skin flakes and create a warmer, more humid environment in our beds through our body heat and sweat. This causes our mattresses and pillows to have the highest concentration of dust mites and their allergenic waste.
Regularly using RAYCOP allergen vacuums on mattresses, bedding, pillows as well as other fabric surfaces, is the most effective way to control dust mite allergies. When using RAYCOP, very slowly push and pull the device across fabric surfaces, similarly to how you would use an iron on clothes. This allows enough UV light exposure and suction to thoroughly clean the buildup of dust mite matter, bacteria and viruses. Using RAYCOP frequently in the first weeks will greatly reduce the dust mite population in your fabrics. Then, RAYCOP should be used weekly to maintain low allergen levels in your fabrics.

Designed for Safety
UV Lamp Safety Sensors
A safety device that automatically turns off the UV Lamp when your vacuum is moved away from the surface. The UV Lamp is automatically turned back on when your vacuum is placed back on surface again.
Micro HEPA Filter Replacement Alert
RAYCOP will alert you when it is time to replace the Micro HEPA Filter. You will hear 5 alert chimes, and the red light on the power button( ) will start flashing. This alert typically occurs after every 60 hours of use.
Motor Overheating Prevention System
When your vacuum is continuously used for 30 minutes, the motor overheating prevention device automatically stops suction to prevent overheating the motor. This may also occur if the Dust Box or Dust Box Filter is clogged and requires cleaning.
(P.8)
(P.16)
(P.18)
Before Starting
UV (ultraviolet light) Blocking Feature
Minimizes UV emitted to areas other than the area being cleaned.
Long Use Alert
If your vacuum has been running for 29 minutes, you will hear 5 beeps and the button( ) will start to flash and turn off automatically when you let it kept on running for up to 30 minutes. To continue to use the product, simply turn it back on again.

How to Clean
For best result, use the RAYCOP at least once a week.
(You may also use your RAYCOP daily to further sanitize your fabric)
×
Smoothly and thoroughly move the RAYCOP over the fabric surface without pressing it. Unlike a regular vacuum, use RAYCOP as if you are ironing a shirt, laying it flat and moving it across the fabric slowly and thoroughly.
Dust mites are most heavily concentrated in areas
where there is more contact with skin
Use the RAYCOP back and forth multiple times to thoroughly sanitize the fabric.
Dust mites are found to be more heavily concentrated near our feet and head. We recommend RAYCOP is used more thoroughly in these areas.

Maintenance
■Device maintenance
Unplug the power code and wipe off the device body with dry cloth.
■Dust Box Filter and Dust Box maintenance
A clean filter optimizes suction power and therefore it is recommended that Dust Box Filter is cleaned each time after use.
Pull out the Dust Box as shown below.
1
Submerge the Dust Box with the Dust Box Filter attached into the sink
2
containing water. Remove the Dust Box Filter from the Dust Box underneath the water and rinse it. (to prevent house dust from scattering.)

3
sponge to clean for best results.
How to Use
※ Brush is not included.
11
Maintenance
Dust Box Filter could get clogged and impacts suction strength.
Protein ( such as skin flakes) in house dust causes clogging. Periodically soak the filter in neutral detergent diluted with water (water: detergent ratio=9:1) for about 5 minutes and then thoroughly wash the filter by using a brush. If this does not restore suction strength, replace the filter with a new filter. Accessories can be purchased online at www.raycop.com

Problems Possible Cause and Solution
Plug the cord into the socket and verify if the power
● button ( ) is on and displays red. If the power button
RAYCOP does not operate.
is not on, verify if the plug is firmly plugged into the socket.
Verify if the power supply is AC 120V 60Hz.
● Make sure there is no problem with the electric outlet
● by plugging and testing another electronic device.
RAYCOP has some safety features which prevents
● damages, or cause safety issue for you or your family. One of the safety feature is overheating prevention system when certain scenarios occur, the RAYCOP may temporarily stop operating, which includes.
When the Dust Box and/or the Dust Box Filter are
1.
extremely clogged. Please ensure the Dust Box is emptied and cleaned.
Suction does not seem to be working properly.
Suction seems weak.
When the vacuum suction inlet is blocked by an obstacle
2.
or is clogged. Vacuum is used for more than 30 minutes, or if the device
3.
is pushed down forcibly onto a surface, and or if the motor gets overheated.
After unplugging the power cord, clean the Dust Box,
the vacuum suction inlet and wait for approximately 2 hours before using it again (the waiting time may vary depending on the room temperature.)
In case the Dust Box Filter is clogged or the suction power
4.
becomes weaker A possible reason could be the protein (skin flakes, etc) found inside the house dust. To solve this problem, regularly clean the Dust Box Filter by soaking it in a mixture of water and detergent (9:1 ratio). Then clean the filter with a soft brush.
If the Dust Box Filter is too old or if it is damaged.
5.
Replace the Dust Box Filter by purchasing a new one at
www.raycop.com
The product has been designed with a carefully calibrated suction level to optimize removal of allergens such as dust mite matters and house dust without trapping the fabrics in the suction intake.
Suction is weaker and the product makes abnormal noises.
18
Please check if the suction intake or the Dust Box is clogged with house dust, if the air vent is blocked, or if the Dust Box Filter or the Micro HEPA Filter has become dirty. (P. 11, 12, 16)
When Checking Point
The UV Lamp turned off during use.
In certain cases, the UV surface detection sensor could be confused if vacuum is used on darker surfaces.
The UV Lamp might turn itself off if the vacuum is not directly in contact with the fabric. This could happen when attempting to use the product on uneven surfaces.
The UV Lamp may not turn on if house dust or other foreign substances cover the surface detection sensor. Inspect and remove these substances. (P.5, 8)
If there is a new UV Lamp being replaced, make sure
● it is securely installed by following the replacement instruction. (P.15)
It is normal for the air vent to vent warm air.
● This ventilation also serves as a cooling mechanism for the vacuum motor.
There may be a rubber smell for approximately 3 months after purchase.
Others
There may also be a smell if an excessive amount of house dust is clogged in the Micro HEPA Filter. In this case, replace the Micro HEPA Filter before the recommended replacement period. (P.16)
The area around the UV Lamp may become discolored after using the product for a long time and this is due to the UV light from the UV Lamp. This discoloration is not an abnormality.
The product may temporarily stop if excessive force is applied to the Pulsating Brush, such as if it is forcibly pushed down against the surface. This is a safety mechanism and product will resume operation in approximately 3 seconds.
