Charging the vacuum cleaner

Fully charge the vacuum cleaner before the first use, after each use, or whenever the battery level is low.

• When the battery level is low, the low power icon (☐) will be displayed to remind the user to charge the unit. If there is insufficient power, the unit will automatically stop.
• Before charging, always attach the dust cup and filters to the main unit (see Detaching the dust cup and filters in the Cleaning and maintenance section).

NOTE:

• The AC adapter may get warm whilst charging. This is normal.
- To ensure the longevity of the battery and the product's lifespan, recharge the vacuum cleaner whenever the battery has run out even if you do not plan to use it. If the unit is not used for long periods of time, fully charge the battery every 2 months.

1 Make sure the vacuum cleaner is off. Securely connect the AC adapter cable to the charging socket on the end of the main unit. Then, firmly plug the AC adapter into a suitable mains socket.

• The battery screen displays the current battery charge level, i.e. 50%.
  • While charging, the battery level icon will be displayed: 30% in charging.

• Once the unit is fully charged, the following will be displayed on the screen: √ Charging
  • It takes around 5 hours to fully charge the battery.
  • Once fully charged, the vacuum cleaner has a usage time of:

• 8 minutes on turbo power
  – 18 minutes on medium power

• 60 minutes on eco power

- When the vacuum cleaner is in use, the battery level icon (comprising 6 blue bars that form a circle) will gradually reduce from 6 bars to 1 bar: ☐ to ☐.

- When you have finished charging the unit, unplug the AC adapter from the mains socket first, before removing it from the vacuum cleaner.

WARNING!

• Only use the removable power supply (AC adapter) provided with this unit to recharge the battery: BP25925A.
  • The unit will not work when charging. Never attempt to use it when charging.
• Do not leave the unit overnight or unattended when charging.
• Do not charge the battery at temperatures below 5°C or above 40°C.

Using the vacuum cleaner

WARNING:

• Never use the unit without the filters and dust cup.
- Make sure the unit is switched off and unplugged from the mains socket before attaching or changing any tools.

Attaching the tools

Select the desired vacuum tool and attach it to the main unit with the extension tube (for upright vacuum use) or without the extension tube (for handheld use), according to the task in hand:

2 ① Insert the motorised floor brush into the bottom of the extension tube. Make sure the black clip is aligned with the slot on the underside of the extension tube. Push both parts together until you hear a click.

② Next, insert the other end of the extension tube into the main unit's air inlet until you hear a click. The tool can also be connected directly to the main unit.

3 The flexible joint on the extension tube changes the angle and height of the extension tube making it easier to vacuum under items such as sofas and tables. Simply pull the top part of the joint upwards in the direction of the arrow and then gently bend the joint. When finished using this feature, straighten the extension tube until the joint clicks into place.

• Motorised floor brush:

- With bristles – Use it on all types of flooring, including hard and smooth surfaces, in addition to carpets that require a deep clean. Attach the floor brush (or roller brush depending on the floor surface) directly to the handheld vacuum to easily vacuum stairs.

- With roller – Use it on surfaces that scratch easily, in addition to hard or smooth surfaces, such as parquet flooring, to optimally remove dust.

- The LED lights on the front of the brush illuminate dark corners or spaces under furniture.

- The motorised floor brush features a multi-angle neck joint which allows the user to vacuum with the extension tube or main unit at a 90-degree angle (e.g. staircases) or at a low angle (e.g. under a bed or sofa). The multi-angle neck joint also allows you to turn the brush left or right for easy control.

NOTE: The motorised floor brush may scratch or damage certain types of flooring or carpet. Make sure to test the surface before using the brush on delicate surfaces. Alternatively, use the 2-in-1 brush tool, if suitable.

4 Securely insert the crevice tool into the extension tube or the main unit's air inlet.

• It is perfect for vacuuming tight corners and small spaces.
- The extension hose gives you an extra reach to vacuum cobwebs or hard-to-reach areas.

B Product usage

5 Securely insert the 2-in-1 brush tool into the extension tube or the main unit's air inlet.

• This brush is retractable.
- Use the flat side to vacuum beds, sofas, rugs or any other flat surfaces. Use the brush for general dusting tasks, such as dusting furniture and shelves, etc.

Detaching the tools

• Make sure the unit is switched off.
- Press the release button on the extension tube/motorised floor brush/crevice tool/2-in-1 brush and then pull to detach the tool from the main unit.

Operation

6 ① To turn on the vacuum, press the ON/OFF button. The vacuum cleaner will turn on in AUTO mode and the power display screen will appear. When in AUTO mode, the dust-sensing function is enabled. The display animation will change from blue (no dust) to purple when it detects dust.

② Press the power button repeatedly to select HIGH, MIDDLE, LOW or AUTO power.

• To turn off the vacuum, press the ON/OFF button again.
- Empty the dust cup before its contents exceed the MAX mark (see Emptying the dust cup in the Cleaning and maintenance section).
- Once you have finished using the unit, always turn it off. To clean the unit, follow the instructions in the Cleaning and Maintenance section.
- Charge the vacuum cleaner after each use to ensure the unit is fully charged and ready for the next use.

NOTE:

• When vacuuming heavily soiled surfaces, regularly turn the unit off and check the mouth of the tool is clean to avoid scratching delicate surfaces.
• To avoid blocking the vacuum cleaner, remove large pieces of waste, such as paper or plastic, from the area before vacuuming.

Installing the wall mount

NOTE:

• Securely install the wall mount on a wall that is strong enough to support the weight of the unit.
• Install the wall mount in a dry area, away from extreme heat or cold, and ideally close to a mains socket.

B

Product usage

The wall mount (with the supplied wall plugs and screws) can be installed to easily store the vacuum cleaner.

7 Place the wall mount on the wall, leaving a space of at least 150 cm between the floor and the bottom of the wall mount. Mark the drill holes for the screws with a pencil. Then, drill the holes and insert the wall plugs. Place the wall mount over the wall plugs and tighten the screws using a screwdriver.
