• If necessary, disconnect the appliance from the power adapter.

• Ensure that the cable of the power adapter does not be- come kinked, jammed, driven over or come into contact with heat sources.

• Do not use a damaged power adapter.

• Do not repair the appliance yourself, but visit an author- ized specialist.

• The appliance and the mains lead have to be checked regularly for signs of damage. If damage is found the appliance must not be used.

• Use only original spare parts.

• In order to ensure your children’s safety, please keep all packaging (plastic bags, boxes, polystyrene etc.) out of their reach.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental ca- pabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.PC-BS3035A_IM 18.04.19

• Children shall not play with the appliance.

• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• The appliance is intended for use with safety extra-low voltage. Connect only to a power supply according to the specications on the rating label.

• If the connection cable of this appliance has been damaged, it must be replaced with a special connection cable available from the manufacturer or its customer service.

• Do not use any power adapter other than the one supplied.

• Do not suck in combustible substances or liquids!

• Do not suck up hot ashes or pointed or sharp objects!

• Never vacuum without the lter installed. Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Batteries (Li-Ion) The appliance is equipped with rechargeable Li-ion batter- ies. This results in numerous advantages compared to other batteries and accumulators:

• A high cell voltage (more volts)

• A low self-discharge Safe Handling of Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Batteries In general, Li-ion batteries are considered safe. Never- theless, hazards may result from mechanical damage, electrical faults and thermal effects. Mechanical damage may result in the leakage of gaseous or liquid substances that can be highly irritating, ammable or even toxic. An electrical fault, such as a short circuit, may lead to over- heating and cause a re. Even the heating of the outer shell of a Li-ion battery, e. g. due to sunlight or a heating element, may lead to re or an explosion. However, Li-ion batteries are safe when handled properly. Only if used or stored improperly they may become danger- ous. Therefore:

• Avoid temperatures above 40 °C and below 0 °C.

• Do not drop the appliance or the rechargeable battery.

• In case the Li-Ion battery has been dropped and is now damaged, stop using it.

• When storing or disposing of the appliance, mask the terminals to prevent short circuits.

• Dispose of old accumulators properly in collecting con- tainers at the trader or at municipal collection points. Extending the Life of the Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery For Li-ion batteries, even more than with other accumula- tors, their life can be extended by treating them properly. The following simple rules for charging and storing help you keeping the capacity of the battery:

• Temperature: The ideal temperature for these batteries ranges from 10 - 25 °C. Temperatures above may lead to premature aging.

• Charging and discharging: During charging cycles, both full charge and deep discharge should be avoided. When the charging process of the battery is completed, you should disconnect the charger immediately. A charge up to 90 % is considered best. Conversely, it is also preserving the battery more when it is not discharged to 0 %. If the possibility arises, you should already recharge the battery when it is reaching a charge state of 30 %.

• Storage: Always store batteries in a dry place and at moderate temperatures between 10 °C and 20 °C. Also consider the effect of self-discharge! When the accumulator is already empty, this effect may lead to a deep discharge resulting in damaging the battery. If you intend to store the battery for an extended period of time, you can counteract this effect. We then recommend charging the battery to approx. 40 % before storage. YouPC-BS3035A_IM 18.04.19

should check the state of charge after not more than a month. Unpacking the Appliance

1. Remove the appliance from its packaging.

2. Check the delivery scope for completeness.

3. Check the appliance for any transport damage, in order

to prevent hazards. NOTE: In case of any transport damage, contact your dealer immediately. Do not use a damaged appliance!

4. Remove the transport locks on the two on / off switches.

• The appliance is especially suitable for quickly vacuum- ing small amounts of dry dirt or dust.

• The appliance is operated via charged battery. The bat- tery is charged with the supplied charging station. Before that, you must assemble the appliance and must hang it into the charging station.

• Direct power supply via power adapter is not possible.

• This cordless vacuum cleaner is no adequate replace- ment for a conventional oor vacuum cleaner. Especially on shag-pile carpet, the cleaning performance is not sufcient owing to its design.

• Contaminated lters reduce the suction power of the vac- uum cleaner. Therefore, we recommend regular cleaning of the existing dirt lters.

• Ideally, clean the lters whenever they were subject to a prolonged use.

• Please regularly check and clean the electric oor nozzle.

• If necessary, clean heavily soiled oors multiple times and / or use a conventional 230 V~ oor vacuum cleaner. Gap Nozzle and Brush Nozzle

• The nozzles are attached to the suction opening of the basic unit.

• You may store the nozzles at the back of the charging station. Folding Handle For back-friendly cleaning, the folding handle can be tilted twice. This facilitates the vacuuming in hard to reach places (e. g. under tables). CAUTION:

• Do not tilt the folding handle beyond the respective resistance. The appliance may be damaged otherwise!

• If you tilt the folding handle more than 90 °, the basic unit will fall out of the appliance holder!

1. Pull the slider (13) upwards for a short time and tilt the

folding handle forward until resistance.

2. When pressing the slider again, you will be able to tilt the

folding handle a little more. On / Off Switch (5 and 12) The appliance comes with two on / off switches. Press the or button to switch the appliance on or off.
