PARTS

Housing with the motor, battery and dust container

Motorised floor brush

Nozzle with bristles

Adapter INSTALLATION Connect the upper part of the hose to the motor unit and the lower part to the floor brush. The installation is correct when the appliance is firmly fixed all the way to the grooves (you hear a slight click, no matter which setting you are using). A wall bracket is also included to store the vacuum cleaner and attachments. // Follow the attached pictorial instructions for mounting the wall bracket. // Keep the wall bracket at least 1 m away from the heating body. // You can store attachments in the lower part of the wall bracket. // Keeping the vacuum cleaner on the bracket allows you to always keep it safe and ready for use. // Due to its shape, the appliance is not self-standing. USE The vacuum cleaner is not intended for vacuuming any liquids, glass, cigarette butts, fire, or any sharp objects that may cause damage to the appliance. Brushes and attachments fit both the hose and the motor unit. // By pressing the button on the brushes and attachments, you can freely switch between them. They are intended for various uses. They are attached correctly when you hear a short click.

The floor brush is used for vacuuming all (dry) floor surfaces. Do not try to vacuum carpets with a high pile as the fibres may become entangled in the roller brushes and damage the vacuum cleaner.

The narrow nozzle is intended for vacuuming narrower and more difficult-to-reach parts (corners, armchairs, cobwebs, space behind the radiator ...).

Nozzle with bristles (suitable for frames, drawers ...).

The wall bracket helps you store the vacuum cleaner. // There is a small opening at the back of the motor unit that you attach to the wall bracket. // Keep the wall bracket at least 1m away from any heating surfaces. // When you want to remove the vacuum cleaner from the wall bracket, push the side lever down and remove the vacuum cleaner.

DISPOSAL OF THE APPLIANCE

If you want to replace the appliance or you no longer need it, you should also think about protecting the environment. The battery must be removed before disposing of the vacuum cleaner. // To safely remove the battery, make sure that the battery is completely discharged. If the appliance does not have a removable battery, follow the instructions given in the booklet with figures. // To properly remove the battery, follow the pictorial instructions. OPERATION There is an on/off button on the handle of the handheld unit. // The charging adapter is located on the upper part of the display unit. The display shows various functions:

The appliance has a digital battery charge display. It digitally displays the battery charge during use or charging.

The crossed-out roller icon appears if an object gets stuck in the brush. // When this icon lights up, the vacuum cleaner turns off preventively to protect the appliance from damage. // In this case, it is necessary to remove the object stuck in the brush. // After removing the object, the icon will no longer show when the device is switched on again.

When selecting the speed, the display shows the remaining time to vacuum before the battery runs out. // The vacuum cleaner has three speeds; ECO (power saving mode where a single charge will last the longest), MAX (medium running mode where a single charge will last the standard amount of time) and BOOST (short running time on a single charge, maximum suction power). CHARGING Charge the vacuum cleaner at least 1 m away from any heating surfaces. // The appliance cannot be switched on while charging. The adapter with the vacuum cleaner charging cable is included in the packaging. // Insert the charging adapter into the charging compartment located on the upper part of the display unit. // You can charge the battery on the 31wall bracket or charge it separately from the motor unit. // Remove the battery by pressing the button below the display to pull it out of the grooves of the motor unit. // For separate charging, it is necessary to make sure that the appliance is charged at least 1m from any heating surfaces. // To correctly place the battery back on the motor unit, it is necessary to correctly place the battery back on the grooves (check both sides). When done correctly, you will hear a slight click. During charging, the battery percentage level will appear on the display.

Dust container and filters Removing dust from the container The filter can be cleaned during vacuuming. // There is a rotating knob on the lower part of the appliance which can be used to wipe the filter. Turn it in either direction to clean the filter. // Nevertheless, the filter must be rinsed and cleaned properly when you are cleaning the appliance. To empty the dust container, remove the motor unit from the hose. // There is a pin on the side of the handle that protrudes from the motor unit. // Pull it towards the handle, and the bottom of the container will open. Therefore, only open the container while holding it over a dustbin. Removing the container from the motor unit Remove the hose from the motor unit. // To remove the dust container, push the button on the inner part of the container (pictorial instructions). // To safely remove the container, first remove the back part of the container and then lift and remove the filter from the grooves on the front of the motor unit. // Shake and gently brush the filter to remove any dirt that has accumulated during vacuuming. //Rinse the filter no more than three times and gently squeeze it. // Before reuse, it must be well dried (for at least 24 hours). Push the pin on the back of the container to open the bottom of the container. // Rotate the filter rim and remove it from the container. // The container and the filter rim are washable. // Before re-use, they must be completely dry (dry them for at least 24 hours). // Do not wet the front of the container where the hose is placed, so as not to damage the part where the part comes into contact with the hose.

Replacing the filter If you notice that the filter is damaged, replace it immediately. With regular use, we recommend replacing the filter every 6 months to ensure the longest life of the vacuum cleaner. FLOOR BRUSH Press the button on the side of the brush to release the pin and remove the brush from the housing and wipe the underside of the housing with a cloth. // Clean the suction hose of the brush. // Shake the roller on the brush and carefully cut off the waste and hair that have accumulated in the designated groove on the brush with a scissor. // . Do not pull the hair or strings, so as not to damage the bristles on the roller. //// Reinsert the roller back into the brush. // The roller is correctly positioned when a slight click is heard and the side pin is securely attached to the brush housing.

Insert the cleaned roller back into the brush. Push the part with the narrow end into the opening and insert the part with the "handle" back into the original part of the brush… the roller is correctly positioned when you hear a slight click. Before reassembling the dust container, check that all components are completely dry. Damp parts may cause the vacuum cleaner to malfunction. // Insert the filter rim into the container and latch it in the opposite direction as you have removed it. You will hear a click when it has been reinserted correctly. // Close the bottom of the container. You can also check whether the filter rim is correctly positioned by checking that the lower part of the container closes easily, without requiring force to open. // If you force it to close, you can damage the bottom of the container. // On the upper part, properly place the filter back into the rim and container. // If the arrows on the filter and the filter rim are aligned, the filter has been installed properly. The "handle" of the filter also needs to be safely attached in the container. Correct placement of the container back on the motor unit // The front part of the container, which includes the connection part for the hose, must be inserted into the grooves located on the motor unit. Only then you can push the back part of the container onto the latch on the motor unit. // If the filter is correctly placed in the container and the container was safely latched into the grooves, you will be able to easily connect the container to the motor unit. // Otherwise, repeat the procedure.
