Information about the batteries

1. This hand-held vacuum cleaner is powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

Before using the cableless hand vacuum cleaner for the first time, the batteries must be charged for at least 24 hours.

1. The batteries reach their full capacity after a charging period of 24 hours. For care of the batteries we recommend the following: after the batteries are charged, remove the power adapter

4 from the mains power socket. Reconnect the power adapter 4 again with the mains power socket when the suction power of the appliance is noticeably weaker.

Installation of the wall holder

Mortal danger!

Ensure that there are no power cables or other conduits or pipes in the wall at the location where you intend to bore the holes for the wall holder 3. It would be a potentially fatal risk to bore into a current carrying electric cable!

1. Place the barrel plug 5 of the power adapter 4 into the wall holder 3 as shown in the diagramme. Secure the barrel plug 5 by turning it.

1. Select a suitable installation location for the wall holder ③: It should present no problem with taking the hand vacuum cleaner out of it and a mains power socket for the power adapter ④ must be accessible.
2. Bore two holes with a spacing of approx. 68~mm . Use the wall holder ③ to mark the boreholes: this will ensure the spacing is correct. The boreholes must be suitable for 5mm wallplugs.
3. Insert the wallplugs into the boreholes and, using the screws, firmly screw the wall holder 3 to the wall.
4. You can place the nozzles on the lateral accessories holder.
5. Connect the power adapter 4 to a mains power socket.

Charging

① Note:

Check to ensure that the on/off switch has been slid back (to the position "0") before starting the charging process.

• Place the hand vacuum cleaner from above into the wall holder ③ , so that the barrel plug ⑤ slips into the socket on the hand vacuum cleaner. The charge indicator lamp ⑦ glows red and the charging process begins.

Important!

• When the hand vacuum again has enough energy to vacuum, the charge indicator lamp ⑦ glows green. This does not mean that the batteries are fully charged. When the charge indicator lamp ⑦ glows green, it means the batteries are charged to about 80% .
• When charging is complete, which with fully discharged batteries can take approx. 5 hours, the appliance automatically switches to a trickle charge (maintenance function). Nevertheless, in order to avoid possible damage to the batteries, do not leave the appliance permanently connected to the power adapter 4.
• First recharge the batteries when the suction power of the hand vacuum cleaner is noticeably weaker and the charge indicator light ±b green is blinking.

① Note:

The hand vacuum cleaner can also be charged directly via the power adapter 4. For this, remove the barrel plug 5 with a slight twist from the wall holder 3 and insert it into the socket on the hand vacuum cleaner.

Operation

Warning!

The suction opening must always be open and unblocked. Blockages lead to overheating and damage to the motor.

(i) Tips:

• Make certain that the dust filter is always inserted before using the appliance.

• As the maximum, suck up only as much liquid as will fill the dirt container ① to the MAX mark.

• Take the hand vacuum cleaner from the wall holder 3 or, if you do not use the wall holder 3, remove the barrel plug 5 from the socket.

• If required, place the appropriate nozzle into the suction opening:

• the crevice nozzle ②, to clean narrow and difficult to reach locations.

• the wet suction nozzle ① to vacuum liquids up.

① Note:

After you have vacuumed up liquids, immediately clean the dirt container 10.

Otherwise bacteria and microbes could form in it! Ensure that the dust filter bag g is completely dry before using the appliance again.

1. To switch the appliance on, slide the on/off switch ⑤ forwards. The charge indicator lamp ⑦ lights up green.
2. When you have finished using it, slide the on/off switch 6 to the rear.

① Note:

Place the hand vaccum cleaner into the wall holder 3 and start the charging process when the suction power is noticeably weaker and the charge indicator light 7 green is blinking.

Cleaning

To achieve the best results, empty the dirt container 1 and clean the dust filter 10 after every use.

Important!

Do not use aggressive, chemical or abrasive cleaning agents. These could damage the surfaces of the appliance.

1. To open the dirt container 1, press the unlocking button 3 and remove the dirt container 1.
2. Remove the dust filter 10 from the dirt container 11.
3. Empty the dirt container 11.
4. Pull the dust filter bag with its mounting out of the dust filter 10.
5. Rinse the dust filter bag 9 in cold water and then wait until it is completely dry again before you place it back into the dust filter 10. Do not dry it with hot air.
6. Place the dust filter 10 back into the dirt container 11. Ensure that the dust filter 10 is seated squarely and that the rubber lip seals the dirt container 11.

7. Replace the dirt container 1 back onto the motor block:

8. Push the plastic nose on the underside of the hand vacuum cleaner into the recess on the dirt container ①.

9. Press the unlocking button ③ and, at the same time, slide the dirt container ① onto the motor block.

10. Release the unlocking button ③ so that the restraint grips into the recess. The dirt container ① now sits firmly on the motor block.

11. Clean the housing and both nozzles with a lightly moistened cloth. For stubborn soiling use a mild detergent on the cloth.

12. Dry all parts thoroughly before reusing the appliance or putting it into storage.
