Use

This product is intended for picking-up liquids only. Picking up solid objects may cause

blockages in the nozzle. If blockages occur, please detach and clean the SpillMaster as directed.

Do not cover the bleed holes when holding the attachment, otherwise there may be a risk of the

cleaner overheating.

The SpillMaster must be attached securely and firmly to the vacuum cleaner hose or hose

handle. It may be necessary to use one of the attachment adaptors, supplied.

Safety devices

If the unit is tipped over in use, safety valves will operate to prevent water escaping, no pick-up

will be possible once these valves have operated. The valves will remain closed until the unit is

returned to it’s correct upright position and the suction is switched off. Similarly, if the unit is

overfilled, a float valve will operate, preventing any further pick-up. The suction must be

switched off and the tank emptied before re-use.

Filter

Regularly remove, clean and dry the filter.

Cleaning

Empty and rinse the product with clean lukewarm water after every use. Leave to dry upside

down for at least 24 hours or until completely dry before re-assembling the top unit to the tank.

Do not place in or near heating appliances to dry.

ASSEMBLY

Assembling the

SpillMaster A

The SpillMaster may arrive in

two parts.

To assemble the product, align

the arrows on the water tank

with the arrows on the top unit.

Push the two parts together and

rotate clockwise until the top

part clicks into place.

OPERATING THE

SPILLMASTER

Depending on your model of

cleaner, your SpillMaster may

require an adaptor.

If required, choose the

appropriate adaptor and fit as

shown B.

Attaching the

SpillMaster to you

vacuum cleaner

Assemble the vacuum cleaner

according to it’s instruction

booklet.

Ensure the vacuum cleaner is

switched off before attaching

the SpillMaster.

Attach the SpillMaster directly

onto the vacuum hose with

adaptor if required C.

It is not recommended to use

any extension tubes when using

the SpillMaster.

USING THE

SPILLMASTER

Turn the vacuum cleaner on.

Place the SpillMaster on the

floor and tilt forwards so the

nozzle touches the floor D.

You are now ready to pick up

any liquid spills.

The SpillMaster can be used on

all floor types but must only be

used for liquid spills. It has not

been designed to suck up

solids.

For maximum effectiveness, use

the SpillMaster in a steady, slow

motion, pulling it towards

yourself. Always ensure the

SpillMaster is tilted forwards E.

Ensure only the nozzle touches

the floor, so the water tank is

not dragged through the liquid

spill.

Backward strokes are more

effective on deeper carpets.

SAFETY FEATURES

As well as the hose filter, there

are three other main safety

features F which will cut off

suction to the SpillMaster in the

event of improper use:

If the SpillMaster is tilted

backwards, a slug in the nozzle

suction chamber will slide

backwards, blocking the suction

to the hose G.

If the SpillMaster is tilted

sidewards, a slug in the suction

chamber connecting to the

liquid tank will slide upwards,

blocking the suction in the unit

If the SpillMaster is overfilled

with liquid, a float in the liquid

tank will rise upwards, blocking

the suction in the unit.

If any of the above occurs, turn

off your vacuum cleaner

immediately, empty the tank,

reassemble the SpillMaster and

resume use as described in

‘Using the SpillMaster’ section.

EMPTYING THE

SPILLMASTER

Ensure the vacuum cleaner

power is switched off.

Remove the vacuum hose from

the SpillMaster.

Take the SpillMaster to a sink or

drain to empty.

Press down on the tank release

button with one finger H.

With the other hand, rotate the

handle section anti-clockwise as

far as possible H.

Pull upwards to separate the

unit into it’s two parts.

Empty the contents of the

reservoir by tipping it upside

down over a sink or drain I.

CLEANING THE

SPILLMASTER

It is recommended that the

SpillMaster is regularly cleaned

to prevent any build up of

residue.

Remove the filter by squeezing

the two white areas with a finger

and thumb and pull the white

tab until the filter is clear of the

product J.

Separate the SpillMaster into it’s

two parts as described in the

‘Emptying the SpillMaster’

section.

Empty the contents of the base

unit over a sink and then rinse

the reservoir with lukewarm

water to remove any residue.

least 24 hours or until

completely dry K.

HINTS & TIPS

(also see ‘Safety Features’)

• The SpillMaster can be used on

all floor types but must only be

used for liquid spills.

• It has not been designed to

suck up solids. If any solids

have accidentally been sucked

up, follow the advice in the

‘Cleaning’ section.

• Hold the SpillMaster ensuring

the bleed holes are not

obstructed L. If the bleed holes

are covered, this could result in

your vacuum cleaner over

heating.

• Do not attempt to overfill past

the max fill line. If overfilled, the

float safety cut-out will be

activated and the suction will

cease.

• If the float is activated, switch

the vacuum cleaner off and

empty the reservoir. The float will

drop back into it’s original

position.

• After use, empty the contents of

the water tank, clean and dry

the product fully.

• Regularly check that the filter is

not blocked, dirty or damp. If

the filter becomes dirty, rinse in

lukewarm water and leave to dry

fully before re-use.

• If the filter becomes damaged, it

must be replaced. Call our

helpline for replacement parts.

• When carrying the SpillMaster

to the sink, ensure it is kept

horizontal to prevent any

spillage.

near any heat sources.
