Attaching the handheld vacuum cleaner: Insert the handheld vacuum cleaner into the handstick vacuum cleaner as shown and lock into place. (Figure 5) To take it off again press release button “6” and remove it from the handstick vacuum cleaner. (Figure 6) WALL MOUNT The charger support can be either wall mounted or placed on the floor. (Figures 7 & 8) To use the charger base as a floor stand: Slot the wall mount section “15” into the floor stand section “16” so that it locks into position. (Figure 9) Insert the jack for the charger “17” into socket “A” on the wall mount. (Figure 10) To use the charger base as a wall mount: To install the wall mount “15”, choose a position close to an electrical wall socket. Before fitting it, make sure that there are no dangerous objects hidden below the surface of the wall, such as electrical wires, pipes, etc. Place the wall mount against the wall as shown in (Figure 11) and mark the places where the screws will go. Once the screws are fitted, place the wall mount onto them and press it gently downward to make it secure. Insert the jack for the charger “17” into socket “A” on the wall mount. (Figure 10)

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Charge up the vacuum cleaner’s batteries for approximately 16 hours before using it for the first time. Insert the vacuum cleaner into its socket (Figure 12). The charge indicator (12) will light up. This indicator will remain lit as long as the vacuum cleaner is plugged in, even if the battery is fully charged. The vacuum cleaner will become warm while it is charging. This is quite normal and will not interfere with the appliance’s safety or operation. The vacuum cleaner can always be left to charge when it is not in use. This will ensure that the battery is always fully charged and ready for use. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The AE4417 model has a luminous indicator that shows the battery capacity level when the appliance is working (18). When the indicator remains in red colour, it means that the battery is in low level and needs to be charged. Use as a handstick vacuum cleaner: Take the handstick vacuum cleaner off the charger unit and press the On/Off button “1” (Figure 13). The indicator “11” will light up, this indicator shows that the rotating floor tool “10” is working. Make sure that none of the nozzles is blocked and that the rotating floor tool is clean. Use as a handheld vacuum cleaner: Take the handheld vacuum cleaner off by pressing release button “6”. (Figure 6) The suction nozzle on the handheld vacuum cleaner can be adjusted allowing the vacuum to get into awkward places, to do this pull on it gently until it is full extended. (Figure 14) To slide the nozzle back in, press on the release clip and push the nozzle back. (Figure 15) To pick up dry remains, vacuum in any direction until the area is clean. Do not overfill the container. Empty it out regularly. When storing or charging the handheld vacuum cleaner, slot the suction nozzle back into its parking position on the handstick vacuum cleaner, making sure that it is seated correctly. (Figure 5)CLEANING & MAINTENANCE Clean the container “7” and the filters “13” and “14” after each use.

Clean the container with a soft brush. If it is very dirty it can be washed in soapy water, make sure to rinse it well and leave it to dry completely before refitting it. The textile & HEPA filter (HEPA only for AE4416) “13” and the nylon filter “14” can also be washed in soapy water, however make sure that they are completely dry before refitting them. To reassemble the vacuum, place the nylon filter into position and press down on it as shown in Figure 20.
