Operation
Before using for the first time
NOTE: The Dirt Devil cordless rechargeable hand-held vacuum cleaner is supplied with the
battery in the uncharged state. Before using the appliance for the first time, charge the battery
for 16 - 20 hours.
1. The cordless vacuum cleaner is operated by rechargeable lead-acid battery.
2. The rechargeable battery will reach its full capacity after a charging time of 16 to 20 hours.
With a fully charged battery, the rechargeable vacuum cleaner will work for its full operating period.
3. Place the vacuum on the charger when you are not using it. This will ensure that it is always
fully charged and ready for use. If the battery is not charged immediately after use it may
become damaged from being left in a discharged state.
Charging
1. Position the charger near a mains socket and insert the plug.

ready for use.

vacuum cleaner, we recommend that the battery is fully discharged
and fully recharged once a month.
