They’re Important, So Please Read Carefully!

Please DO...

•  Keep these instructions in a safe place for future 

reference - you may need ‘em.

•  The iTube 302 works best on a clean, dry and flat 

surface. Try it, you’ll see. 

•  The iTube 302 needs room to breathe, so make 

sure its new home has adequate ventilation. Don’t 

put it on beds, sofas, rugs, enclosed bookcases / 

cabinets or anywhere else where its ventilation 

may be obstructed and it can overheat.

•  Make sure that your iTube 302 is connected to the 

correct power supply as indicated on the unit. 

•  Unplug your iTube 302 when it’s not in use for a 

long period (we’re talking days, not hours).

•  Always make sure power cables are placed safely 

and not obstructing a walkway.

•  If you move your iTube 302 from a cool to a warm 

place, condensation may form on the surface of 

the vacuum tube. It’s nothing to worry about, but 

allow 1 hour before you switch it on again. This will 

avoid leakage or a blow-out of the vacuum tube 

due to too much sudden heat.

•  You really should get your iTube 302 serviced by 

an authorised service engineer if:

1.  The power supply or cord is damaged

2.  It drops or is struck by a falling object

3.  It’s exposed to rain or moisture

4.  Liquid is spilt on it

5.  It’s not operating normally or shows a sudden 

change in performance

Please DON’T...

•  Don’t put your iTube 302 anywhere near water – it 

hates it. So avoid placing it near bathtubs, sinks, 

washing machines, swimming pools, saunas, 

jacuzzis, kettles, precariously balanced pints of beer 

etc.

•  Expose it to direct sunlight or to extremes of 

temperature or humidity.

•  Don’t leave it near direct heat sources such as 

radiators, stoves, gas fires, naked flames or candles.

•  Never drop the unit. It’s delicate, so don’t apply 

excessive force to the controls or place heavy 

objects on top of it either.

•  Don’t let too much dust gather on your iTube 

– give it a regular wipe with a soft dry cloth. If 

necessary, use a slightly damp cloth but DO NOT 

use solvents.

•  The iTube 302 has valves, and they can get hot. 

Don’t touch the tubes and keep away from babies 

and children.

•  Don’t try to remove the cover or the back - there 

are no user-serviceable parts, and you don’t want 

to risk an electric shock.

NOTE:

 Any unauthorised changes or modifications 

to this equipment render the manufacturer’s warranty 

null and void.
