What types of surfaces can I clean with the Swiftvein Vortex?

The Vortex is designed for carpets, rugs, upholstery, stairs, car interiors, and other fabric surfaces. It's perfect for spot-cleaning spills, stains, and pet messes on soft surfaces. It’s not suitable for hard floors.

Can I use my own cleaning solution with the Vortex?

Yes! You can use any low-foam carpet or upholstery cleaning solution. Avoid using bleach, high-foam detergents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the machine.

How do I clean and maintain the Vortex after use?

After each use, first place the suction nozzle into a bowl of clean water and activate the self-cleaning mode to flush out the hose and internal tubing. This helps prevent buildup and bad odors. Then, empty and rinse both the clean and dirty water tanks, wipe down the nozzle and brush area, and let all parts dry completely before storing. Regular cleaning keeps your Vortex running efficiently and hygienically.

What is the ideal water temperature to use with the Vortex?

We recommend using warm water (around 40°C or 104°F) in the clean water tank. This helps activate your cleaning solution and improves stain removal. Avoid using boiling water, as extreme heat can damage internal components.

My Vortex is leaking, what should I do?

If your Vortex appears to be leaking, first check that both the clean and dirty water tanks are properly seated and securely closed. Make sure the tanks are not overfilled and that the rubber seals are clean and undamaged. A small amount of water around the nozzle or hose after use is normal, especially if the machine was recently emptied. If leaking continues during operation or storage, please contact our support team for troubleshooting or replacement parts.

How do I set the alarm and sunrise function on the Solara?

To set the alarm, press and hold the alarm icon until the time starts flashing. Use the "+" and "–" buttons to set your desired wake-up time. Once set, press the sunrise icon to choose the light duration (10, 20, or 30 minutes) before your alarm. The light will gradually brighten to simulate a natural sunrise.

Can I adjust the brightness and color of the light?

Yes! You can fully adjust the brightness level to your preference, and choose from multiple light colors for both the sunrise and ambient lighting modes. This allows you to create the perfect wake-up experience or relaxing atmosphere.

Does the Solara need to stay plugged in to work?

Yes, the Solara needs to remain plugged in to function properly. It does not contain an internal battery for alarm backup. We recommend using it with a stable power source to ensure consistent operation.

Does the wake-up light have a built-in battery?

The Solara does not have a built-in rechargeable battery to power the light or alarm. However, it includes a small button cell battery on the bottom. This is only used to save your settings (like time and alarms) in case of a power outage. The device must remain plugged in to function normally.

How do I reset the Solara wake-up light to factory settings?

To reset the Solara to its factory settings, press and hold the "volume down" and "+" buttons at the same time for 5 seconds until the screen flashes. This will erase all custom settings, including the time, alarm, and light preferences, and restore the device to its original default state.

Can I use the Astronaut projector while it’s charging?

Yes, the projector works while plugged in via the included USB cable. It does not contain a built-in battery, so it needs to remain connected to a power source during use.

How do I use the timer function?

Using the remote control, you can set the projector to turn off automatically after 45 or 90 minutes. This is great for use as a night light without needing to manually turn it off.

Can I use the Astronaut projector without the remote control?

Yes, you can operate the basic functions (power, light mode, nebula on/off) using the buttons on the back of the projector. However, advanced features like the timer and brightness control are only available via the remote.

Is it safe for children to use?

Yes, the Swiftvein Astronaut is child-safe when used as intended. It stays cool to the touch, uses low-voltage power via USB, and contains no small detachable parts. However, the projector does include a green laser as part of the star effect. This laser is classified as Class 1, which is safe for general use, but children should not stare directly into the laser light. Always supervise young children during use and keep the cable out of reach.

Can the projector be used during the day or only at night?

The projector works any time, but for best results, use it in a dark room. The galaxy and nebula effects are most visible in low-light conditions or complete darkness.
