LIRE ET COMPRENDRE TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES AVANT D’UTILISER L’APPAREIL.

AVERTISSEMENT : Certaines poussières domestiques

contiennent des produits chimiques reconnus par lʼÉtat de la Californie comme étant
cancérogènes et pouvant entraîner des anomalies congénitales et dʼautres risques pour la
reproduction tels que lʼamiante et le plomb contenu dans les peintures au plomb.

• Attach the charging base (4) within reach of an electrical outlet, using the screws supplied.

• Plug in charger (5) and place the product in position.

• Always mount in an upright (handle up) position.

NOTE: Avoid damaging the cord while attaching the charging base (4) to the wall or when
removing or replacing the product from the base.

• The charger (5) supplied with this product is intended to be plugged in such that it is
correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.

• From new, the rechargeable cells of the product need a minimum charge time of 21 hours
to ensure full power.

• While charging the charge indicator light (6) will be illuminated.

• The On/Off switch (1) must be in the off (“O”) position. The product will not charge if it is in
any other position.

• While charging, the charger (5) may get warm, this is perfectly normal and safe.

• It can remain on charge indefinitely without damage or danger. It is not possible to
“overcharge” the battery cells with the charger provided.

• Ensure that the product is fully engaged on the charging base (4) and the charge indicator
light (6) is on.

WARNING: Do not charge at ambient temperatures below 39°F (4°C) or

above 104°F (40°C).

SWITCHING ON AND OFF

DRY PICK-UP

• For everyday spills of dry material, use your appliance without the squeegee accessory (7).
The squeegee is intended for use with wet spills.

• Utilize the brush accessory to remove dust and pet hair from upholstery or carpeted
surfaces.

WET PICK-UP
NOTICE: Your product is designed for light spills only.

• Use the squeegee (7) on non-absorbent surfaces.

• For best results when using this accessory, hold the appliance at an angle of 45° and pull it
slowly towards you.

• On absorbent surfaces, such as carpet, your appliance will pick up wet spills better without
the accessory.

NOTE: Regularly clean the foam filter (9) and deflector (10).

In order to keep the suction force maximized, the re-usable foam filter must be cleared
regularly during use.

• Press the bowl release button (2) and remove the dust bowl (3) (fig. E).

• Empty the dust bowl (3) (fig. F).

• Remove the foam filter and deflector from the dust bowl (fig. G). There is a small lip (11) at
the bottom of the deflector (10) to help you remove it from the dust bowl.

• Brush any loose dust from the filter and deflector (9 & 10).

• Wash the foam filter in warm, soapy water (fig. H). The dust bowl can also be washed if
necessary.

CAUTION: Do not immerse the appliance in water (fig. I).

• Make sure that the dust bowl and the filter and deflector are dry.

• Refit the filter and deflector into the dust bowl. Make sure that it clicks into place.

• Refit the dust bowl onto the appliance. Make sure that it clicks into place.

CAUTION: Never use the appliance without the filter. Optimum dust collection will only

be achieved with clean filters.

The filter should be replaced every 6 to 9 months and whenever worn or damaged.
A replacement filter is available from your Black & Decker dealer (WFOPP1).

recycled. They must not be incinerated or disposed of.
The batteries can be taken for disposal to a Black & Decker, Company-Owned or

TM

Seal”). Call your local retailer for details. If you bring the
batteries to a Black & Decker Company-Owned or Authorized Service Center, the Center

IMPORTANTES MISES EN GARDE

MAINTENANCE

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the vac. Never let any liquid get inside the vac;
never immerse any part of the vac into a liquid.

NOTE: Make sure the vacuum is completely dry before using it.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and

adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized
service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement
parts.

THE RBRC™ SEAL

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the
nickel-cadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the
battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by
Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the
trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally
conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established
programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel­cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by
returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center
or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for
information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.

SERVICE INFORMATION

genuine factory replacement parts, contact the Black & Decker location nearest you. To find
your local service location, refer to the yellow page directory under "Tools—Electric" or call:
