5. Overview of the appliance

6. Installing the wall mount

The supplied wall mount provides you with the option of securely storing the vacuum cleaner on the wall. Select a space near a mains plug. Hold the wall mount against the installation location and mark the positions for the two drill holes with a pen. Drill 2 suitable holes in the marked positions in order to fix the screws. Insert the wall plugs into the drill holes. Fix the wall mount to the wall using the two screws supplied with the recess for the plug facing up- wards. Insert the jack plug into the cable holder on the wall mount as illustrated in the diagram. Pay attention here to the recess on the plug and the guide slot on the cable holder. Lock the plug in place by twisting it a quarter turn.

7. Preparing the appliance

Remove all packaging materials from the appliance and the accessories. Firstly connect the cyclone insert and the dust filter together. Ensure that the tabs on the cyclone insert fit into the recess on the dust filter. Fit the cyclone insert with the dust filter into the dust container so that the seal on the dust filter closes off the dust container. Place the dust container onto the motor block by firstly inserting it into the catch at the bottom of the motor block and then folding it shut until the unlock- ing button clicks audibly into place. 7.1. Charging the battery You can charge your vacuum cleaner using the supplied mains adapter GQ05- 096030-CG or the car charger adapter BE24L-030-096; please observe the following steps: NOTE! Switch off the appliance before charging it (On/Off switch set to posi- tion 0). Attach the mains adapter or the car charger adapter to the power connection on the bottom of the vacuum cleaner.

BE24L-030-096 to the 12 V socket in your car. The appliance will charge; the operating light flashes red. Once the battery is charged, the operating light will light up green. After charging, remove the plug on the mains adapter from the mains socket or the car charger adapter from the socket in the car and remove the jack plug from the appliance. NOTE! Charge the battery for at least 24 hours before using the vacuum clean- er for the first time. Always charge the battery when the suction power drops significantly and the operating light flashes green.

7.1.1. Charging in the wall mount

If you want to charge the vacuum cleaner in the wall mount, proceed as follows: Install the wall mount and the mains cable as described above. Connect the mains adapter to a mains socket for charging the battery. Hold the vacuum cleaner by the handle and insert it into the wall mount with the dust container facing upwards. When the operating light flashes red, the vacuum cleaner is correctly mounted and the battery is being charged. Once the battery is charged, the operating light will flash green. After charging or when the appliance is not in use, pull the plug on the mains adapter out of the mains socket again.

8. Using the vacuum cleaner

Ensure that the filter housing and the dust filter are precisely fitted in the dust container and that the dust container has been securely mounted on the motor block. Connect a suitable suction nozzle: − The crevice nozzle for vacuuming difficult-to-reach areas. − The nozzle for liquids for vacuuming up small amounts of liquid (e.g. spilt drinks or similar). Switch on the vacuum cleaner by setting the On/Off switch to position I . NOTE! For reasons of hygiene, clean the dust container and the filter immedi- ately after you have vacuumed up liquids. Allow the parts to dry com- pletely before using the appliance again. Switch off the vacuum cleaner by setting the On/Off switch to position 0. 16322 MULI eCommerce Content Final REV1.indb 7916322 MULI eCommerce Content Final REV1.indb 79 08.04.2015 08:01:2308.04.2015 08:01:2380 of 88

9. Cleaning and care

Empty the dust container and clean the filter and cyclone insert ideally after every use. Clean the suction opening as required.

• Do not use solvents or caustic/gaseous cleaning agents to clean the surfaces of the appliance and the accessories. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. 9.1. Cleaning the dust container We recommend emptying the dust container and cleaning the filter after every use. Carry out the following steps: The appliance is switched off. Press the unlocking button above the handle. Remove the dust container from the motor block. Remove the dust filter by pulling on the ribbed flap. Remove the cyclone insert by taking hold of it inside the opening and pulling it out. Empty the dust container over a dustbin. Rinse the dust container and the cyclone filter with water and clean the dust fil- ter regularly under running water. Rinsing is not necessary every time. Never put the dust container in the dishwasher! When the dust container, cyclone insert and filter are dry again, fit the filter housing and the cyclone insert with the dust filter into the dust container so that the seal on the filter closes off the dust container. Place the dust container onto the motor block by firstly inserting it into the catch at the bottom of the motor block and then folding it shut until the unlock- ing button clicks audibly into place. CAUTION! Before using the appliance for the first time, please ensure that the dust filter in the dust container has been inserted correctly. If this is not the case, it can lead to the vacuum cleaner being damaged. 9.2. Cleaning the suction opening After a while, dirt and dust can collect around the suction opening and can reduce the suction power. To avoid this, the suction opening should be cleaned regularly. Switch off the appliance. Remove dirt and dust from around and inside the suction opening.

Twist off the fuse cover as illustrated. NOTE! When replacing the fuse for the first time, it is possible that the fuse cov- er will be very difficult to unscrew. Replace the faulty fuse with a new F 3A/ 250V fuse and screw the fuse cover back in place.
