BEFORE FIRST USE
Before first use, the battery

16 hours.

◆ Before charging, preferably

discharge the battery by
operating the appliance until
the motor stops.

◆ Charge the battery as

Important! Place the appliance on
the charging base whenever it is
not in use. After fully charging
the battery, the average effective

minutes (depending on the type
of use). It may take several
charging cycles before the
battery attains full capacity.

Do not charge the battery at
ambient temperatures
below 4 °C or above 40 °C.

◆ To switch on, slide the on/off

switch (1) forward.

◆ To switch off, slide the on/off

switch back.

Activating the brush (fig. F)

Use the switches (8) on the floor
head (7) to lower or raise the
bristles on the brush.

◆ Lower the bristles for cleaning

carpets or rugs.

◆ Raise the bristles for cleaning

hard floors, such as wood,
tile or marble.

USE

◆ Make sure that the appliance

is switched off. The battery
will not be charged with the
on/off switch in the on
position.

◆ Place the appliance on the

charging base as shown.

◆ Plug in the charger (11).

Switch on at the mains.

◆ Leave the appliance to

charge for at least 16 hours.

the power consumption of the
charger is negligible.

off, this indicates that the dust
bowl is full and must be emptied.

every 6 to 9 months and
whenever worn or damaged.
