• 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, youPC-BSR3043_IM 10.07.19

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 ac- cumulator 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. You should check the state of charge after not more than a month. Unpacking the Appliance

1. Remove the appliance from its packaging.

2. Remove all packaging material such as plastic lms, ller

material, cable ties and cardboard packaging.

3. Check the content for any missing parts.

4. In the event that the packaging content should be incom-

plete or if damages are noticeable, do not operate the appliance. Return it to the dealer immediately. Overview of the Components / Scope of Delivery Top Side (Figure A)

• The appliance is operated via charged battery. Charge the battery using the power adapter provided. Direct power supply via power adapter is not possible.

• The appliance sucks up loose dirt through the nozzle. For more efcient cleaning, the appliance is equipped with a rotating brush and a rubber lip.

• Do not use the appliance to vacuum building rubble.

• Dirty lters reduce the suction power of the appliance, hence we recommend cleaning the dust container and lters after each use.

• When the appliance hits a wall or other obstacles during operation, it will change its driving direction.

• Do not change the conditions of the room while the appliance is in operation. For example, if you close a door that previously allowed the appliance to move unhindered, it will keep trying to get into the other room until you open the door again.

• The appliance also cleans underneath furniture if they have a ground clearance of at least 80 mm. When the appliance gets stuck under a piece of furniture, a beep will sound, the display will show and the appliance switches itself off.

• When the appliance is lifted up during operation it will emit a sound after a few seconds. The display will then show and the appliance stops operating.

• Due to its design, the cleaning of carpets and the driving over edges is only possible to a limited extent. Short-pile carpets with low edges can be surmounted. For long-pile carpets, please use a conventional 230 V oor vacuum cleaner.

• The sensors at the bottom of the appliance detect steps and other dips, so that it can not drop down. CAUTION: Prior to each use, ensure the sensors are clean, or else the appliance may crash.PC-BSR3043_IM 10.07.19

Depending on the condition of the step (colour scheme, design, etc.), it may happen that the sensors can still not detect the landing. Especially near a stairway, please do not leave the appliance unattended. Before Using the Appliance

• Clear the oor of any objects lying around that could obstruct the side brushes, get caught in the nozzle or stop the appliance from cleaning.

• Remove any objects that could be knocked over (such as vases, small lamps, decorative items, etc.).

• Make sure that no cables, cords or fringes, e.g. of curtains, table cloths or carpets can be accessed. If nec- essary, fold the edges with its fringes under the carpet. The appliance may otherwise get entangled in it. Putting into Service Inserting Batteries into the Remote Control (Batteries are not included in the scope of delivery)
