Wall mounting The wall bracket is designed for storing the appliance and also serves as a charging unit. First insert the charging plug into the wall bracket, facing up. Mount the wall bracket vertically, near a wall socket, using the screws provided with the appliance. Both the crevice tool with brush and the rubber nozzle can be stored on the left and right sides of the appliance. Charging process Before using the vacuum cleaner for the fi rst time, the battery must be charged for a period of approximately 10 hours. ∙ Insert the adaptor into a wall socket. ∙ Put the On/Off switch to its off position. ∙ Place the vacuum cleaner in the wall bracket. The charging process begins automatically and the indicator light shows red. Once the red indicator light goes out, the appliance is ready for use. ∙ This appliance can remain on charge indefi nitely without damage or danger and is therefore fully charged and ready for use at all times. ∙ Whilst charging, the adaptor will become warm. This is perfectly normal and safe and does not indicate a malfunction of any kind. ∙ If the vacuum cleaner is not being used for a long period of time, the capacity of the battery may decrease by a certain amount. However, full capacity will be restored after several charge/discharge cycles. 12 V operation ∙ With the 12 V connector, the battery pack may be recharged through the car cigarette-lighter socket. ∙ Insert the small plug of the connecting cable into the 12V jack of the vacuum cleaner, and the larger plug into the car’s cigarette-lighter socket. ∙ Power is now supplied directly from the car’s electrical system; the indicator lamp10 shows red. Picking up liquid matter Before picking up liquid matter, ensure that the rubber nozzle is fully inserted in the suction aperture. Crevice tool The crevice tool can be inserted into the suction aperture to clean crevices, corners and other areas diffi cult to reach. Crevice brush The crevice brush can be fi tted to the crevice tool and is suitable for cleaning uneven surfaces such as computer keyboards etc. Operation ∙ Remove the vacuum cleaner from its wall bracket. ∙ If required, fi t any of the nozzle attachments to the suction aperture. ∙ Switch on the appliance using the On/Off switch. The indicator lamp shows green. ∙ Always ensure that the dust container is emptied in good time, before the dust or liquid matter collected reaches the level of the inner suction tube (see max marking). ∙ If the battery loses power during operation, the green indicator lamp starts fl ashing and the appliance switches off after a while; this is to prevent excessive discharge of the battery pack. In this case, the battery pack needs recharging. Always ensure that the appliance is switched off before putting it in the charging station. Cleaning and care General ∙ Before cleaning the appliance, remove the vacuum cleaner from the wall bracket. ∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance or the adaptor with water and do not immerse them in water. ∙ If necessary, the housing may be wiped with a damp cloth. Wipe dry afterwards. To empty the dust container Reduced vacuuming power despite a fully charged battery pack indicates that the dust container and fi lter inlay must be emptied. ∙ Hold the vacuum cleaner with the dust container facing downwards. ∙ Push the release button, open the dust container in a downward and forward direction, remove the fi lter and empty it. ∙ The fi lter may be cleaned by slightly tapping it, or by gentle brushing. The fi lter can be separated from its holder by simply turning fi lter and holder in opposite directions and taking the fi lter off. ∙ Should the fi lter be visibly dirty, it should be thoroughly cleaned with soapy water; make sure to let it dry completely afterwards. Once dry, replace the fi lter to its holder and lock it by turning it. ∙ The fi lter holder, dust container and attachment tools may be cleaned the same way. Battery pack ∙ This appliance contains a nickel-metal hydride (Ni-Mh) rechargeable battery pack, which may be removed for disposal. When replacing the battery pack, ensure that only an original battery pack is used. ∙ The battery compartment is located on the underside of the appliance. Open the compartment by removing the screw in the compartment cover using a suitable screwdriver. Lift the battery pack out, cut11 the cables one at a time (taking care not to cause a short-circuit), and dispose of the battery pack properly. ∙ Never dispose of old battery packs in domestic garbage, but only through the proper public collection points. This also applies to the battery packs of defective appliances.
