INSTALLATION

WARNING!!! Before drilling holes in walls, check that there are no gas or water pipes or electrical raceways in the surrounding area.

Assemble the bracket (M) upright on the wall using the plastic screw anchors provided, being sure to position it close to a power outlet.

Place the bracket on the wall and mark the points where the anchoring screws should be inserted. Drill holes in the wall at these points and insert the two screw anchors.

Screw in the upper screw, leaving it slightly protruding so as to mount the bracket (M) and the screw and press it downward to make sure it is hooked in place correctly.

Screw in the second screw and check that the bracket is firmly attached to the wall.

USE

WARNING!!! The first time you use the appliance, it must be charged for at least 24h to fully charge the batteries.

The first time you use the appliance, connect the recharger (I) to the recharging plug (A), plug in the recharger and wait for the amount of time specified above. The indicator light (C) will remain on for as long as the appliance is connected to the charger.

When the appliance has been charged, unplug the recharger from the power outlet and then remove the recharging plug from the appliance. Apply the accessory suited to the type of cleaning you intend to do and start the vacuum cleaner by setting the switch (B) to position 1. Once you have finished cleaning, put it back in its original position. (A fully charged battery will last about 10 minutes of operation).

USING ACCESSORIES

Removable motor-driven brush:

The motor-driven brush allows you to brush carpets, raising dust so that it is easily suctioned up by the appliance. This accessory is recommended for low pile carpets only.

Firmly apply the motor-driven brush to the dust container opening.

• Do not use the motor-driven brush to suction up hair, threads, etc. as these would obstruct the brush.
• Never touch the brush while in operation. It could be hazardous.

Lance:

Apply the appropriate nozzle for the surface area to be cleaned. The lance is useful for suctioning in hard to reach corners, and may be used with the hose if necessary.

• Apply the adapter to the dust container.
• Apply the lance and start suctioning.
• The flat lance (7) also has a brush attachment (8) for cleaning keyboards, etc.

Soft cleaning brush:

Useful for suctioning up dust off picture frames, shelves, etc. May be used with the hose if necessary.

• Apply the adapter to the dust container.
• Apply the soft cleaning brush and start suctioning.

Nozzle:

Useful for suctioning up dust and crumbs from tables, shelves, and other surfaces.

May be used with the hose if necessary.
- Apply the adapter to the dust container.
- Apply the nozzle and start suctioning.
The nozzle (10) also has a brush attachment (11).

RECHARGING

If you find that several recharges are not sufficient to permit optimal functioning at first, this does not mean that the appliance is detective.

It is normal for batteries to require a number of recharges before they offer optimum performance. The first time you use the appliance, it is a good idea to operate it until the battery is flat.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the dust container

Make sure the appliance has been unplugged before removing dirt.

• Remove dirt collected in the dust container after each use.
• Hold the appliance upright with the tip downwards so you will not spill dirt.
• Press the container fixing hook (D) to release the container (E).
• Remove the filter (F) and shake it out. If it is very dirty, rinse it under running water. If the filter is torn, replace it with an original Polti filter.
  Empty the dust container, wash it and dry it.
• Put the filter (F) back in the container (E), first checking that both components are perfectly dry.
• Connect the container (E) to the body of the appliance, raising the hook (D) a little until the two parts are firmly in place.

Precautions when cleaning the appliance and the filter

Do not attempt to clean the appliance with paint thiners or other chemical solutions which could damage its outer shell.

Clean with neutral soap and a damp cloth only.

Clean plastic parts with a damp cloth only.

Make sure that the dust container and filter (F) are perfectly dry before using them again.

Check that the motor-driven brush is not obstructed by hair or threads before using it.

Contact an authorised Polti service centre if you need repair work.

Disposing of batteries:

Precautions when handling nickel cadmium batteries:

When you need to replace the appliance's batteries, remove old nickel cadmium batteries carefully and take them to an authorised collection facility.

• Do not burn batteries or expose them to high temperatures, as they could explode.

• Do not attempt to clean the battery pack with paint solvents or other chemical solutions which could damage the batteries' outer covering.
  Always take the battery pack and the appliance to authorised service centres only.
• Battery leakage:

Under extreme environmental conditions batteries may leak. Battery fluid is a 20 - 35% potassium hydroxide solution.

If battery fluid comes into contact with the skin:
- Wash immediately with water and neutral soap, or neutralise the affected area with lemon juice or vinegar.
If the fluid comes into contact with the eyes:
- Rinse the eyes immediately with clean running water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical attention without delay.
- To keep batteries properly charged, keep the appliance connected to its recharging base with the adapter plugged in at all times.
Always store the battery pack and the appliance together in a cool place with the battery pack fully charged.
- Do not remove the battery pack from the appliance except for maintenance work or replacement of the battery pack.
