Frequently Asked Questions - VC-PD510-1 Hanseatic

How do I charge the battery for the first time?

For the first use, fully charge the battery. Insert the power adapter plug into the charging port on the battery. Connect the mains plug to a socket. The operating light turns red during charging and green when fully charged. Normal charging time is 4–5 hours.

How do I empty the dust bin?

First remove the battery by pressing the locking mechanism. Hold the appliance over a waste bin, press the locking button on the base of the dust bin, and the base opens downwards to release dust. Close the base until it clicks shut. Empty the dust bin outdoors or into a closed waste bin.

How do I clean or replace the dust filter?

Remove the battery and press the release button for the dust bin. Turn the dust bin clockwise and remove it. Turn the dust filter anticlockwise and remove it. Wash the dust filter and suction piece under running water. Let them dry completely. Reinsert and turn the filter clockwise until it locks. Reattach the dust bin.

How do I clean the hygiene filter?

Remove the battery. Lift out the hygiene filter on the filter cover. Turn the filter cover anticlockwise and pull it off. Rinse the hygiene filter and filter cover with clean water only. Allow to dry completely. Reattach the filter cover by turning clockwise, then reinsert the hygiene filter.

How do I adjust the suction power?

The appliance has two suction levels. Press the suction level switch (26) once to switch from level I to level II, and again to return to level I. Level II provides stronger suction for tougher dirt.

What can I vacuum with this appliance?

This vacuum cleaner is designed for dry, loose dirt such as dust, lint, and crumbs on floors, upholstery, and car interiors. Do not vacuum liquids, glowing ash, cigarettes, sharp objects, or fine dust like plaster or cement.

How do I mount the wall bracket?

The wall bracket must be mounted at least 95 cm above the ground. Mark two drill holes 10.5 cm apart using a level. Drill holes, insert wall plugs, and attach the bracket with screws. Ensure no wires or cables are behind the drilling area.

Why is the suction power weak?

Possible causes: the nozzle is not positioned correctly, the tube extension or nozzle is blocked, or the filters are clogged. Check for obstructions in the tube, clean or replace the dust filter and hygiene filter, and ensure filters are inserted correctly.

What should I do if the appliance stops working?

The appliance may have activated overheating protection. Turn it off, remove the battery, and let it cool down for at least 30 minutes. Check if the dust bin is full or the filters are blocked. Also ensure the battery is charged. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How do I clean the floor nozzle?

Remove the floor nozzle from the tube. Move the slider on the underside to the open position, remove the locking latch, and take out the brush. Remove hair and lint from the brush. Reinsert the brush and locking latch, then move the slider to the closed position.

Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally-friendly manner

Electrical appliances contain harmful substances as well as valuable resources.

Every consumer is therefore required by law to dispose of old electrical appliances at an authorised collection or return point. They will thus be made available for environmentally-sound, resource-saving recycling.

You can dispose of old electrical appliances free of charge at your local recycling centre.

Contact your dealer directly for more information about this topic.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries

The symbol shown here means that batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with other household waste.

Consumers are required by law to bring all batteries and rechargeable batteries, regardless of whether they contain harmful substances*) or not, to a collection point operated by their communal authority or borough or to a retailer, so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner and so that valuable resources (e.g. cobalt, nickel or copper) can be recovered.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries can be returned free of charge.

Some of the possible contents (e.g. mercury, cadmium and lead) are toxic and, if improperly disposed of, can have adverse effects on the environment. Heavy metals, for instance, can have detrimental health effects on humans, animals and plants and accumulate in the environment and food chain, and then enter the body indirectly through the consumption of food.

There is a high risk of fire with old lithium batteries. Special care must therefore be taken to properly dispose of old lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries. Improper disposal can also lead to internal and external short circuits due to thermal effects (heat) or mechanical damage. A short circuit can lead to a fire or an explosion and have serious consequences for people and the environment. It is therefore important to tape off the poles of lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries before disposing of them to prevent an external short circuit.

Before disposing of the appli- ance, batteries and rechargeable batteries which are not perma- nently built into the appliance must be removed and disposed of separately.

Please only dispose of batteries and rechargeable batteries in a discharged state!

If possible, use rechargeable batteries in place of disposable batteries.
