Ocean Blue Water Filtration Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner

WELCOME

Welcome to the clean world of OceanBlue! Dear Customer: Thank you for your confidence in our product. It is our goal to bring you into the clean world of OceanBlue. If you have been using a “Conventional” cleaning system for dirt removal you might be in for a surprise! If you find that you are having to empty the water pan more often than you think that you should, be aware that, in the beginning, you are picking up more dirt because of the deep dirt that is in your carpets that was not removed before.

After using the OceanBlue for a short time in regular use, you should find that the amount of dirt will taper off to more “normal” expectations. You should be aware that deep dirt is the enemy of carpets. The deep dirt left in the carpet acts like little knives and slowly cuts the tufts of the carpet at the bottom as you walk on the carpet. You may see a lot of “fuzz” coming up from the carpet in the beginning, but by removing this deep dirt, you are increasing the life of your carpet. Remember that the OceanBlue filtration system does not clog up the airflow as you use it. You still have full power right up to when to empty the water pan.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Prolux Storm
The Prolux Storm has incorporated an electronically driven brush roll into this universal shampoo system. This design allows the shampoo system to agitate the surface which improves cleaning ability exponentially. This model works just like your regular power nozzle does, so all you must do is fill it up, and vacuum like you normally would. Offers much higher power output than other shampooers on the market and offers self-adjusting brush roll height so you can easily move between surfaces. The self-adjusting design is exceptionally convenient when used on tile because it allows the brush roll to drop into and scrub grouted areas.

OceanBlue Water-Based Air Purifier
This works as a humidifier, deodorizer, purifier, aromatherapy, and fragrance machine. For aromatherapy or to use as an air freshener, add a few drops of fragrance into the water bowl and turn it on. This OceanBlue also works as a humidifier by pushing moisture into the air and leaving the impurities behind in the water bowl to be disposed of. The best part is that this purifier does not over-dispense moisture, so you will never have to worry about water left behind, and is safe to use in any area!

Stair Pro Electric Mini Turbo
Quick connect button lock to attach to your wand or vacuum handle. The brush roll is powered by a durable electric motor and a geared belt that will last the lifetime of the tool. If you have pet hair you need to vacuum up this is a must! Not only do they last for many years but they deep clean better than almost anything!

9. DO NOT unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
10. DO NOT handle the plug or appliance with wet hands.
11. DO NOT put any objects into openings. Do not use any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.
12. KEEP HAIR, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.
13. USE EXTRA care when cleaning on stairs.

20. Your OceanBlue is provided with a safety interlock switch to prevent operating the appliance without attaching the water container to the appliance. Because the turbine operates at high speed, this is to protect you from coming into contact with the moving HydroTurbine.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

IMPORTANT
Please read all instructions before using this machine and keep this manual always at hand. Follow the instructions manual for the Ocean Blue‘s. Do not try to use it otherwise. The use of non-authorized accessories by OceanBlue could be dangerous. See section SERVICING OF DOUBLE INSULATED APPLIANCES.

• DO NOT plug the OceanBlue into the receptacle of an incandescent light bulb, nor use extension cords with less electrical capacity than needed.
• The OceanBlue must not be used to clear sewers. An explosion may occur if the machine suctions sewer gases.
• You must NEVER touch a metallic kitchen sink washbasin or water pipeline with one hand while holding the machine with the other hand. The danger is greater if the person’s skin is wet.
• Take special care when cleaning stairs.
• ATTENTION: It is not recommended to use OceanBlue for cleaning chimneys open stoves, or other devices that have oil or grease, for example, soot or ashes, clay dust, plaster, or other similar materials that are resistant to water action. It must not be used for vacuuming toxic or volatile substances or near any of these.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN VACUUMING LIQUIDS
Always consider the following precautions:

• DO NOT operate the machine with wet hands or feet or barefoot.
• NEVER use OceanBlue to clean up liquids outdoors, upon an earth floor.
• NEVER vacuum liquids with OceanBlue when you are stepping on water or a wet floor. If it should be necessary to step on a wet floor to pick up water, do not touch the metallic parts of ANY electric device, lamp, or switch while performing this operation.
• DO NOT carry the machine with your hand while using the machine for cleaning operations.
• The water container must be empty before you begin picking up liquids. DO NOT vacuum more than 1.9 liters (2 quarts); the water level MUST NEVER be above the central post. Excess water in the water container will cause shaking and vibration. If this occurs, the vibrations are your warning that the water container is overfilled. (If you need to pick up more than 2.5 liters of water frequently, consider the optional 4- 4-liter water container shown on page 18.)

SPECIAL CARE & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WATER: Do not operate the OceanBlue for too long without changing the water. When you notice that the water is getting too full of dust and fuzz, throw it away and replace it with clean water. The correct level of water is that of the height of the central post of the water container.

WATER CONTAINER
When you finish cleaning your house, be careful to put away the OceanBlue‘s motor apart from the water container between uses. ALWAYS empty the water container after each use.

THE HYDRO TURBINE IS THE HEART OF YOUR MACHINE
Unplug the OceanBlue from the power outlet. Remove and clean the HydroTurbine after each use. Wash it inside and out with water and soap, using the brush provided. Dry it and put it in place again. Tighten the nut by hand until the fl at the surface of the HydroTurbine is properly adjusted. Do not over-tighten, as the HydroTurbine automatically tightens upon starting the machine. The HydroTurbine is the key for separating the dirty water from the airflow and proper care is important for the performance of your appliance. If the HydroTurbine should become damaged (CHIPPED OR BROKEN), replace the HydroTurbine with a factory-made turbine from your Service Center.

WARNING
The OceanBlue must NEVER be used without the HydroTurbine. Always place it back after cleaning it.

SERVICING OF DOUBLE INSULATED APPLIANCES
For your safety and protection, your OceanBlue is a DOUBLE INSULATED appliance. NEVER attempt service on the electrical parts of the appliance EXCEPT at your OceanBlue Service Center. There are special requirements for servicing DOUBLE INSULATED appliances. Failure to do so can cause safety hazards with your unit.

HYDRO TURBINE CARE

OPERATION AND HANDLING

General guidelines for using OceanBlue
Fill up the water container with cold water until it almost covers the top of the central post: the correct quantity of water is 2.365 liters (2.5 quarts). (fig.1) The motor unit is placed on top of the water container (fi g.2). The air intake should be lined up with the notch in the motor unit. The edge of the motor unit should be firmly rested on the top of the water container and be inside the retaining ring for the correct location, otherwise, the machine will not work. Engage the two clamps and raise the upper part of the clamps together.

Place the machine on top of the wheeled base. Note: The clamps will not operate properly if the motor unit is not in the proper position on the water container. If the clamps do not operate easily, check the location of the motor unit. Insert the plastic wand into the curved wand with the OceanBlue hose (fi g.3) until the button fits in place. Insert the plastic end of the OceanBlue hose into the vacuum air intake as shown (fi g.4), rotating it to the right. To disconnect, rotate it to the left and pull it towards you.

WATER CONTAINER / HYDRO TURBINE

To empty the water container

1. Release both clamps by pulling the upper part of the clamp assembly down and removing the motor.
2. Pick up the water container by the vacuum intake end and empty the water.
3. Place the heavier particles in the bottom of the water container in a trash can (such as wet fuzz)
4. Wash, rinse, and dry the water container
5. Keep the motor apart from the water container until the next use.

Care of HydroTurbine

Take out the turbine after each use and wash it inside and out with water and soap, using the specially supplied tool. Dry it and put it back in its place. Tighten the nut by hand until the turbine is seated and the rim is flush with the rim of the metal casting of the motor. Do not over-tighten, as the HydroTurbine automatically tightens up on starting the machine.

WARNING
The HydroTurbine must always be positioned back in its place immediately after you clean it. Do not operate the machine without the HydroTurbine.

Using The Attachments

Floor Tool (Fig 1)
Soft natural fill that supports the brush over hard floors and makes it easily maneuverable over uneven surfaces, without damaging the finish. It has a wide cleaning opening that captures large debris and delivers effective cleaning power to the far edges of the tool.

Duster Brush (Fig 2)
The Dusting Brush is used for all types of furniture. Crevice Tool (Fig 3): Use for cleaning radiators, cracks & crevices along corners, and baseboards, and in-between cushions.

Upholstery Tool (Fig 4)
Designed to clean the dirt that becomes embedded in your furniture and limits the life of the fabric. The tool also comes with slide-on bristles, so you can use it on hard furniture, dusting, or to add a more aggressive surface to your tool which can help in removing pet hair that is entangled in your fabric.

Mini Turbo (Fig 5)
This is the best pet hair tool in the business! Perfect tool for upholstery, stairs, and hard-to-reach places. This is the deluxe model with a geared belt which reduces slippage and increases the life of your tool. The brush roll is designed to sweep debris to the middle of the head for easy pick-up. The swiveling bottom plate allows you to use this on your floors as well. Fits nearly any standard vacuum.

HandHeld Shampooer (Fig 6)
This attachment works great for those small areas that your regular-sized shampooer system is just too big for. Works great in the car, on rugs, throw pillows, and furniture.

Blower/Coil Cleaner (Fig 7)
This attachment is a high-end tool that works great for cleaning hard-to-reach areas. The bristle attachment makes it especially easy to reach under the washer/dryer, behind your fridge, and even in your vents! This tool also works great as an inflator and detailing blower on vacuums with a blower option.

HOSE

Use to vacuum dry and wet materials on the floor, walls, tapestries, electro-domestic devices, air conditioning ducts, clothes, etc. To clean and/or dry the interior of the hose and of the stainless curved wand:

1. Remove the discharge air cover of the OceanBlue vacuum cleaner and introduce the plastic end of the hose in it as shown.
2. Then connect the other end of the hose to the vacuum air intake. Turn on the motor and shake the hose. Any stuck material in the interior of the hose will be suctioned and submerged into the water container; OceanBlue’s hose will also become completely dry, after vacuuming water.
3. This procedure can also be used before using your OceanBlue hose for any blowing operation.

USING YOUR VACUUM

REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING WHEN USING YOUR VACUUM CLEANER
The functioning of your new cleaning equipment greatly depends on the maintenance given at home. Only use your OceanBlue equipment according to the instructions provided in this manual.

• Before using the machine pick up by hand any hard or sharp objects such as pins, hairpins, thumbtacks, pieces of pencil, etc. that could harm the spinning brush roll.
• Do not lubricate the motor. The motor has permanent lubrication and is sealed.
• Shut down the machine before connecting the hose.
• Do not use the machine to clean chimneys, open stoves, or other materials containing oils, grease, soot, ashes, clay dust, plaster, or other water-resistant materials.
• It must not be used either to vacuum volatile or toxic substances or to be operated near them.
• SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
• A double-insulated appliance is marked with one or more of the following: The words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED” or the double insulation symbol (square within a square) .
• In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means it’s provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel.
• Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.

All service operations, other than cleaning, must be done by an authorized service agent of OceanBlue.

Troubleshooting

WARNING
Never use a defective appliance. Always switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the outlet or remove the battery before you start to troubleshoot.

Troubleshooting for Electric Power Nozzle
Problem – electric power nozzle does not power up (motor does not turn on in power nozzle).

Solution
Please follow all the steps below and try again:

• Unplug the cord from the power nozzle on the hose, count for 20 seconds, and plug it back in.
• Make sure the brush roll can roll freely and nothing is obstructing it.
• Make sure the hose is firmly “snapped” into the canister.
• Make sure the main electrical wand is firmly “snapped” to the hose.
• Make sure the main electrical wand is firmly “snapped” into the power nozzle.
• For models with a reset button, firmly press the reset button on the electrical power nozzle.
• On the hose is an on/off switch. Make sure that it is turned on.
• On the Power Nozzle there is an on/off button; make sure that is turned on as well.

If you plug the power nozzle directly into the hose and it turns on (but won’t turn on with the main wand attached,) then you know the main wand is defective or a connection needs adjusting (see last problem below).

Problem 
The electric power nozzle turns on, but the brush roll does not spin.

Solution
Most likely a large object may have been vacuumed up, jammed the brush roll, and broke the belt. Remove the bottom plate of the power nozzle, check or replace the belt, remove the obstruction, and try again.

Problem
electric power nozzle cuts in and out as you vacuum back and forth.

Solution
There are several connections to get power to the power nozzle, they are: 1) the hose and canister, 2) the hose and main wand, and 3) the main wand and power head. Make sure each of these is firmly connected. If you have traced the ‘cutting out’ problem to one of these areas and they are firmly connected, then when the vacuum is unplugged from the wall, you may take a pair of needle-nose pliers and slightly bend the male terminal out, so it has a better connection.
