When using electrical appliances, always follow
basic precautions, including the following:
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE
• Do not use to pick up toxic substances, flamma-
ble or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or
operate in the presence of explosive or flamma-
ble 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire, electrical shock or injury:
• Do not operate in the presence of explosives
and/or flammable fumes or liquids.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appli-
ance is used by or near children. Do not allow
this vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy.
• Do not use without bowl and filters in place.
Clean bowl, pre-filter, filter cover, and foam filter
(or HEPA filter) after picking up any perishable
food items.
• 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 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 discon-
nect. Do not pull cord around sharp edges or
corners.
• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of
a table or counter or touch hot surfaces. The
vacuum should be placed or mounted away from
sinks and hot surfaces.
• The use of an extension cord is not recom-
mended. Only plug the charger into a standard
electrical outlet (120V/60 Hz).
4
• Use only the charger supplied with this unit to
recharge this vacuum.
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any

with your state’s laws.
• Leaks from a battery cell can occur under
extreme conditions. If the battery liquid gets on
skin, wash immediately with water. If it gets in
your eyes, immediately flush your eyes with a
mild solution of baking soda and water and seek
medical attention.
• Unplug the charger from outlet before any rou-
tine cleaning or maintenance.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use
with any opening blocked; keep free of dust,
lint, hair, or anything that may reduce airflow.

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.

Your DirtTamer Ultima® V2510 vacuum includes
the following unique cleaning tools that will make
your cleaning tasks easier.
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 clean-
ing hard to reach areas (e.g. ceiling corners,
under appliances, etc.).
1. SQUEEGEE
This tool has rubber edges for picking up liquid
spills on hard surfaces such as floors, counter-
tops, etc. Attach the Squeegee to your vacuum
by pushing the tool firmly into the Bowl Nozzle.
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.

a unique Dirt Finding Headlight which allows you

switched “On”.
This tool is used for picking up dirt and dust
debris from upholstery, tables, etc. Attach the
Upholstery Brush to your vacuum by pushing the
tool firmly into the Bowl Nozzle with the brush
facing down.

Dirt Tamer Ultima® has a revolutionary, patented
3-stage filtration system that provides superior
suction for a longer period of time.
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

H O W T O U S E
Remove your vacuum from the Charging Base
and slide the On/Off Switch to the “On” posi-
tion to operate. Slide the On/Off Switch to the
“Off” position between cleaning tasks to con-
serve power.
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.
PICKING UP DRY DEBRIS
Use your vacuum for picking up dirt, dust, food
crumbs, etc. from counters, bare floors, rugs, auto-
mobile 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.
(b) Do not fill the Bowl beyond the end of the Pre-
Filter (about 9 oz. of liquid). If there is any liq-
uid 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
If the HEPA Filter accidentally gets wet from vac-
uuming wet spills, remove the HEPA Filter, pat it
dry with a paper towel, and allow it to thoroughly
