1. Unpack all parts and check the items supplied for completeness (see the “Items Sup-

plied and Device Overview” chapter) and transport damage. Comment: Note that two nozzles may be placed inside each other. If you fi nd any damage to the components, do not use them (!); instead, contact our customer service department.

2. Remove any fi lms or stickers that may be present from the device and accessories.

3. Charge up the battery (see the “Charging Up the Battery” chapter).

Charging Up the Battery CAUTION! ■ Risk of short-circuits! Do not insert any conducting objects (e. g. screwdrivers or sim- ilar items) into the charging socket of the main unit. ■ The battery may only be charged using the adapter which is supplied with the device. Do not use the adapter to charge up other batteries. ■ Remove the mains plug of the adapter from the plug socket if you are not using it for a prolonged period. ■ It is essential that you charge up the battery fully before you fi rst use the device in order to achieve the maximum charging capacity. The fi rst charge will last for 7 – 11 hours.

1. First connect the adapter to the socket on the main unit

and then to a properly installed and easily accessible plug socket. The charging control lamp on the handle of the main unit will light up.

2. Allow the battery of the device to charge up for approx.

7 – 11 hours on the fi rst charge and then for approx. 6 – 7 hours. The charging control lamp goes out when the battery is fully charged.

3. Disconnect the adapter from the mains power and then from the device. Store it out

of the reach of children. Assembly Attaching / Removing Suction Nozzles

• Plug the nozzle you want as far as it will go into the suction opening on the front of the collecting container and check that it fi ts securely.

• To remove a suction nozzle, pull it out of the suction opening.EN 20 Removing / Inserting the Collecting Container

• Removing: Hold the device with the collecting container point- ing downwards. Press the button for releasing the collecting container and remove the main unit from the collecting con- tainer.

• Inserting: On the bottom edge of the main unit there is a lock- ing lug. Plug this into the associated slot in the collecting con- tainer. Then press the two parts of the device together at the top until the locking mechanism is heard to lock in place. It may be necessary to press the release button here. Then check wheth- er the collecting container is fi tted in place properly. Use CAUTION! ■ Never hold the nozzles close to parts of your body or animals during use and do not place your hands inside the nozzles. They could become stuck to the device / injured. Should the cordless vacuum cleaner become stuck, switch the device off immediately. ■ Switch on the device only once you have ensured that the suction nozzle, the col- lecting container, the fi lter compartment and the fi lter have been inserted correctly. ■ Always switch the device off fi rst before you attach or remove a nozzle! ■ On no account should the device be used to suck up the following: – Glowing ash, cigarette ends, matches, etc. – Infl ammable or explosive substances – Very fi ne dust (e.g. concrete dust), ash or toner – Pointed, hard objects such as large pieces of broken glass ■ Empty and clean the collecting container after each use (see the “Cleaning and Stor- age” chapter). ■ IMPORTANT: If there is liquid in the collecting container, do not overfi ll it and do not turn the device over with the top pointing downwards so that no water can get into the ventila- tion opening in the fi lter compartment and thus to the motor! ■ Do not use the device when it is connected to the adapter. Switch the device off after each surface has been cleaned as this will considera- bly increase the operating time on each battery charge.

1. Place one of the nozzles into the suction opening. However, you can also use the

cordless vacuum cleaner without a nozzle.

2. Press the On/Off switch to switch on the device.

3. Guide the nozzle over the surface to be cleaned. During use, check whether the col-

lecting container is already full. If this is the case, it needs to be emptied.21 EN

4. To switch off the cordless vacuum cleaner, press the On/Off switch.

5. Empty the collecting container after use and clean the fi lter compartment and the fi lter

on a regular basis (see the “Cleaning and Storage” chapter).

6. Charge up the battery again if necessary (see the “Charging Up the Battery” chapter).

Cleaning and Storage CAUTION! ■ Make sure that the device is switched off before cleaning it. ■ Never immerse the device, the adapter or the cable in water or other liquids. ■ Make sure that no liquid gets into the main unit during cleaning. Only the collecting container, the fi lter compartment, the fi lter and the suction nozzles may be cleaned with water. ■ Never use soap or other cleaning products to clean the fi lter. This would cause dam- age to the fi lter. ■ The fi lter is neither machine-washable, dishwasher-safe nor suitable for tumble dry- ing! Only ever dry the fi lter in the air, and never use a hair dryer to do so. ■ Only reassemble the device once all of the parts are completely dry! ■ Do not use any corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the housing. They could damage the surfaces. If necessary, clean the housing using a slightly damp, soft cloth. The fi lter may lose some of its colour over time. This is normal and does not have any adverse effect on function. However, if it is damaged or worn, it must be replaced.

• It needs to be emptied by no later than when the collecting container is full, and after each use (see the “Emptying the Collecting Container and Cleaning the Filter” section).

• Clean the housing of the main unit if necessary using a damp, soft cloth. Then dry it with a soft cloth.

• Remove hair and fl uff from the nozzles at regular intervals.

• Check the adapter and its mains cable for damage at regular intervals.

• Keep the device ready for operation. Charge up the battery after each use (see the “Charging Up the Battery” chapter). Emptying the Collecting Container and Cleaning the Filter

1. Carefully remove the collecting container from the main unit (see the “Assembly”

chapter, “Removing / Inserting the Collecting Container” section).

2. Remove the fi lter compartment and fi lter from the collecting container.

3. Clean the collecting container, the fi lter compartment and the fi lter:

– If you have sucked up dry dirt, empty the collecting container over a rubbish bin. Tap out the fi lter compartment and the fi lter. Then wipe them down using a damp cloth. – If there is wet dirt in the collecting container, rinse these parts under running water.EN 22

4. Let all parts dry completely in the air before you put them back together. CAUTION:
