Frequently Asked Questions - VC-PD510-2 Hanseatic

How do I charge the battery?

Insert the power adapter plug into the charging port on the battery. Connect the mains plug to a socket. The battery operating light turns red during charging and green when fully charged. First charge takes 4-5 hours. Charge every 3 months even if not in use to prevent deep discharge.

How do I use the water tank for mopping?

Fill the water tank with fresh water via the filler cap. Attach it to the soft floor nozzle until it clicks. Attach the cloth (blue side out). While vacuuming, slide the 'Water' button to dispense water. Return to '-' position to stop. Do not use with carpets.

How do I empty the dust bin?

Remove the battery. Hold the appliance over a bin with the dust bin base pointing down. Press the lock button on the dust bin base to open it. Empty the contents and close until it snaps. Empty at latest when dust reaches the 'Full' mark.

How do I clean the dust filter?

Remove the battery and dust bin. Turn the dust bin anticlockwise to remove the dust filter. Wash the filter and suction piece under running water. Let them dry completely before reassembling. Do not use a washing machine or dishwasher.

How do I clean the hygiene filter?

Remove the battery. Lift out the hygiene filter in the filter cover. Turn the cover anticlockwise to separate. Rinse both with clean water only (no detergent). Let them air-dry completely. Reassemble and insert, ensuring the recess hooks into the lug.

What should I do if suction power is weak?

Check if the nozzle is positioned correctly, if the tube or brush is blocked, if filters are dirty, or if the battery needs charging. Also, the overheat protection may activate if the dust filter is blocked – switch off and let cool for 30 minutes.

How do I clean the floor nozzle (turbo brush)?

Remove the nozzle from the tube. Push the slider on the underside to 'Open', remove the locking latch and brush. Remove lint and hair, then reinsert the brush and latch, and slide to 'Closed'. Never touch moving parts while operating.

Can I use the vacuum to pick up liquids?

No. The appliance is intended only for dry dirt. Never vacuum water, other liquids, glowing ash, sharp objects, or fine dust like plaster or cement. Doing so can damage the filter and cause fire or electrical hazards.

How do I mount the wall bracket?

Drill two holes 10.2 cm apart, with the upper hole at least 102 cm above ground. Insert wall plugs and screw the bracket. Ensure no wires are behind the wall. The bracket is for storage only; the vacuum hangs on it.

What should I do if the battery does not charge?

Check that the charger is properly connected to the battery and socket. Verify the socket works. If the battery is deeply discharged, it may take a few minutes to start charging. If still not charging, contact service for a replacement battery (order no. 44910236).

Disposal and waste prevention

Our contribution to the protection of the ozone layer

Our packaging is made from environmentally friendly, recyclable materials:

– Outer packaging made of cardboard
– Moulded parts made of foamed, CFC-free polystyrene (PS)
– Films and bags made of poly-ethylene (PE)
– Tension bands made of polypropylene (PP).

If you have sufficient space, we recommend keeping the packaging, at least during the warranty period. If the appliance has to be sent in for repair or brought to one of the repair service points, the appliance will only be adequately protected in the original packaging.

Dispose of the packaging responsibly.

Waste prevention

According to the provisions of Directive 2008/98/EC, waste prevention measures always take priority over waste management.

For electrical and electronic devices, waste prevention measures include extending the lifespan of defective devices through repair and reselling used working appliances instead of disposing of them.

Please help us reduce waste and contact our customer service if your product is faulty.

More information can be found in the brochure “Waste Prevention Programme - of the German Government with the Involvement of the Federal Länder”.

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.
