Getting Started

Setting up

  1. Place the Dune on a stable, flat section of your nail desk where it sits close to your working area for the best dust capture.
  2. Connect the figure-of-eight power cable to the unit, then plug into a wall or extension socket.
  3. Switch on and select your suction level using the dial.

Cable note: The Dune uses a figure-of-eight power connector designed to be connected and left in place. Where you can, leave the cable plugged into the unit and simply switch off at the wall or extension socket when it's not in use. The connector isn't built for repeated removal and can loosen over time.

Positioning for best capture

  • Keep the unit directly in front of or beside your working hand so dust is drawn in at the source.
  • Make sure the grill and airflow path are unobstructed.
  • The Dune suits any nail system, so use it for every service where dust or filings are produced.

Using the Dune

  • Dial-controlled suction: Turn the dial to increase or decrease suction. Use higher suction for heavier de-bulking and acrylic removal, and lower settings for lighter detailing work.
  • Run it throughout the service: Switch the extractor on before you begin filing and keep it running for the full service to capture dust as it's created.
  • Pair with good technique: Work close to the unit and keep the dust at the source — the closer the work to the intake, the more it captures.

Tip: Because the Dune is mains powered, it delivers consistent suction for as long as you need it — there's no battery to fade mid-service.

Cleaning & Care

To maintain peak performance and hygiene, follow these recommended steps.

Grill cleaning

  • Remove the grill from the unit.
  • Wash it gently in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry promptly rather than leaving it to soak.
  • Make sure it is completely dry before you reinstall it.

HEPA filter maintenance

  • Check the filter regularly for dust build-up.
  • Tap it gently to release loose particles. For a deeper clean, use a soft brush or a low-power vacuum.
  • Do not soak the filter — moisture can damage its structure and reduce how well it works.
  • Only ever use one side of the filter — do not flip or reverse it.
  • Depending on how often you work and how many clients you see, plan to replace the filter every two to three months. (Replacement filters are available on the NIBOVI website.)

Exterior cleaning

  • Wipe the outside down with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Use only non-abrasive, acetone-safe cleaners.
  • Make sure the unit is fully dry before reconnecting the power.

Power cable care

  • Leave the figure-of-eight connector plugged into the unit where possible, and switch off at the socket instead of unplugging at the extractor.
  • Try not to unplug the cable from the extractor itself on a regular basis — the connector isn't built for repeated removal and can loosen over time.
  • If you do need to disconnect it, hold the connector firmly rather than pulling on the cable, and reinsert it gently until it is fully seated.

Routine Maintenance

Keep to the two-to-three-month filter replacement schedule — this is also a condition of your warranty.

Inspect the grill and intake regularly and keep them clear of build-up so airflow stays strong.

Make sure no foreign objects or liquids can enter the fan.

Keep the unit dry and store it somewhere clean when not in use.

Quick Troubleshooting

Reduced suction: Check the HEPA filter for dust build-up (tap clean or replace), and make sure the grill and intake aren't blocked.

Dust escaping onto the desk: Move the unit closer to your working hand and increase the suction dial; confirm the filter and grill are correctly seated.

Connector feels loose: Avoid repeatedly unplugging at the unit. Reinsert the figure-of-eight connector gently until fully seated and switch off at the wall instead.

Filter looks clogged quickly: Higher client volume means more frequent care — tap clean between clients and keep to the two-to-three-month replacement cycle.

Important Safety & Care Notes

Keep liquids and foreign objects away from the fan and intake.

Use only non-abrasive, acetone-safe cleaners on the shell and grill.

Always ensure the grill and unit are fully dry before reconnecting power.

Do not attempt unauthorised repairs — this will void your warranty.
