CHARGING THE BATTERY

Charge up the vacuum cleaner’s batteries for approximately 16 hours before using it for the first time. Figure 6. Insert the charger jack (15) into the battery charger (12) on the appliance. The charge indicator (13) will light up. This indicator will remain lit as long as the va- cuum cleaner is plugged in, even if the battery is fully charged. The vacuum clea- ner 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. IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the va- cuum cleaner must be switched off before charging it. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 7.

If there are, clean them off and try to fit it in again. Cleaning the wheels and the rotating brush: After each use, dirt may have become atta- ched to the wheels or rotating brush.
