1. Suction clean the surface

• Clean the window as usual with water and a cleaning agent.

• Switch the window vacuum on by pushing the main power switch; the indicator light will be a steady green.

• Place the rubber lip of the device on the surface to be vacuumed and use light pressure to pull it from top to bottom across the surface.

• Hard-to-reach surfaces can be suctioned either from top to bottom, sideways or upside down.

• If a windowsill or very wide window frames prevent or hinder a vacuuming to the bottom edge of the window pane, vacuum across the pane once at the end of the vacuuming process. NOTE: The powered-on device operates quietly in stand-by mode. The window cleaner generates its full power once the rubber lip of the window cleaner is placed on the glass pane or is lightly pressed. The battery charge lasts longer due to this automatic power control.

• After suction cleaning the window, power off the device by pressing the appliance switch.

2. Interrupting work
