• Attach the dust container onto the main body of the appliance (fig 19).
Please note : In order to detach the Delta vacuum head, press the ejection button located at the
back of the main body (fig.4) and pull to remove.
2 • Charging the battery
IMPORTANT: Use only the original charger provided with the appliance. Do not charge the
appliance at temperatures lower than 32ºF (0ºC) or higher than 104ºF (40°C). Using a universal
charger will automatically void the guarantee.
Before you use your vacuum cleaner for the first time, you must charge the battery completely
(maximum of 6 hours charging time needed).
While the battery is being charged, the Stop/Start button must be in the Stop position (2.a)
• Place the vacuum cleaner near an electrical outlet.
• Plug the charger in and connect it to the vacuum cleaner using the socket located at the back of
the neck (fig.5).
• The running time indicator signals (4) located at the front will flash in blue, in the form of a wave.
Leave the vacuum cleaner to charge.
While the vacuum cleaner is being charged, the running time indicator signals (4) will turn on and
off one after the other. Once the charge is complete, the light charge signals will remain all on
simultaneously for about 10 seconds, and then turn off.
The charging time will depend on how discharged the battery is.
While the appliance is being charged, all its other functions will remain activated.
Once the charge is complete, unplug the charger from the mains, and then the appliance cord.
Once you unplug the charger, the running time indicator signals (4) will indicate the charge level
of the battery for about 10 seconds, then turn off.
The vacuum cleaner can stay connected to the charger permanently, without any hazard. Keep in
mind, however, that if you decide to keep the charger connected it might become slightly hot. This
is completely normal.
It is advisable to charge the vacuum cleaner immediately after each use in order to always have it
available with a fully charged battery. Thus, you will gain the maximum benefit from its cleaning
and autonomous performance functions. However, in case you plan to be absent for a long period
of time (on vacation, for example), it is advisable to unplug the charger. Otherwise, the autonomous
performance function could be diminished due to automatic power loss.
3 • Turning on the appliance
Unplug the charger cord from the vacuum cleaner. If the charger remains connected to both the
power point and to the appliance, the latter will not function.
Hold the vacuum cleaner by the handle and slide the Stop/Start button downwards, towards one
of the following three speeds (fig.6):
• "Minimum": Used to vacuum thick or delicate rugs and carpets (3.a), as well as fragile surfaces.
Please note: always make sure that the wheels located at the back of the base are clean.
• "Medium": Used for ideal vacuuming on all floor types, and in case of light dirt marks (3.b).
903353_01_RH88_delta_airforce-extreme-lithium.qxp_903308/01 25/11/13 09:09 Page6

• "Turbo": Used for optimum vacuum performance on all floor types, and in case of strong dirt marks
(3.c).
Vacuum cleaner running times* for each usage speed (with a fully charged battery):
Functioning of the running time indicator (4)
The running time indicator (4) will turn on when you press the Stop/Start button (d), and the signal
changes during the course of use, depending on the charge level of the battery.
When the battery charge level becomes too low, the “mini” running time indicator flashes.
When the battery is fully discharged, the appliance turns off and the “mini” running time indicator (4)
continues to flash for about 10 seconds. It will then be necessary to recharge the appliance.
• The vacuum cleaner must be recharged for at least 10 minutes before it can be used again.
• If the appliance does not turn on and the « mini » light charge signal continues to flash in blue, it
means that the battery is discharged. You must then charge the appliance fully.
USING THE ELECTRO-BRUSH
The electro-brush is a rotating, motorized brush that guarantees maximum cleaning effectiveness by
allowing the appliance to suck up dirt and clean in depth. The bristles, located all along the brush,
remove threads, hair and fur that might be caught on the surface of rugs and carpets.
Please note: If the vacuum head adheres too closely to the surface you are cleaning, change the speed
to « Minimum ».
ATTENTION: Do not vacuum large fragments of broken objects, as they could block and damage
the brush. Do not use the electro-brush on long hair carpets, on animal fur, or on fringes.

REMOVING AND CLEANING THE ELECTRO-BRUSH
ATTENTION: Always turn off the appliance and unplug it before storing or cleaning.
Using the screwdriver tool provided with the appliance (15), press in the two latches located on
each side of the lower side of the Delta head (fig.7). Lift the trap located on top of the electro-brush
(fig.8). Remove the electro-brush in order to clean it (fig.9). Carefully remove any threads, hair, fur,
etc. from the electro-brush (fig.10). Once clean, replace the electro-brush (fig. 11), then replace the
trap over it (fig.12). Finally, using the screwdriver tool provided with the appliance, close both
latches (fig.13).
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Do not touch any rotating parts before you turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner.
• Do not use the appliance on wet surfaces.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water.
ELECTRO-BRUSH MALFUNCTION
The electro-brush does not function properly or makes an unusual sound
• Either the rotating brush or the axis is blocked: turn off the appliance and clean them.
• The brush is worn out: visit an authorized Service Center in order to have the brush changed.
• The belt is worn out: if the belt makes noise, it means that it is slipping because it’s worn out.
Visit an authorized Service Center in order to have the belt changed.
The electro-brush stops while you are vacuuming
• The thermal security feature has been activated: Turn off the vacuum cleaner by moving the
Stop/Start button to the Stop position (2.a) and unplug it. Check to see if any solid object is
blocking the rotation of the brush. If this is the case, remove the object and clean the electrobrush (fig.10), then you may keep using the vacuum cleaner.
The electro-brush moves with difficulty
If you find that your vacuum cleaner slides with difficulty along surfaces, progressively reduce the
speed until you reach the « Minimum » position (3.a). If the problem persists, take your appliance to
the authorized Rowenta Service Center nearest to your home.
See the list of authorized Rowenta Service Centers or contact the Rowenta Consummer Service
department.
Cleaning the wheels
If you need to clean the wheels or if an object gets trapped between them, remove them carefully using
a flat screwdriver.
Clean the wheel rods and then place them back on following an inverse procedure.
4 • Storage
After use, turn off your vacuum cleaner by moving the Stop/Start button to the Stop position (2a).
Now you may store your appliance vertically wherever you like, thanks to the self-standing
position.
To place the vacuum cleaner in the self-standing position: Place the neck vertically in order to block the
appliance.
To continue using the vacuum cleaner: Take it by the handle and make it swing backwards in order
to unblock it and leave the self-standing position.

1.a Fast emptying
Whenever the dust container is full, empty it as follows: remove the container by sliding it downwards
(fig.14), place it over a bin and press the “Push” button in order to open the trap and empty the
container's contents (fig.15). Close the trap (fig.16) and replace the dust container on the main body
of your appliance (fig.19).
1.b Complete cleaning procedure
It is advisable to clean the dust container regularly.
• Remove the dust container (fig.14), then separate each of its components (9).
• Remove the foam motor protection filter (9c).
• Place the bagless dust container (9a), the dust separator (9b) and the lid (9d) under warm water
(fig.20); then let them stand to dry or dry them with a dry cloth.
• Wash the foam motor protection filter (see paragraph 2).
• Once the components of the dust container are all dry, reassemble them; do the same with the extra
foam motor protection filter (9c) provided as a supplement with your appliance.
• Close the dust container and reposition it on the main body of your appliance (fig.19).
2 • Cleaning the foam motor protection filter (9c)
ATTENTION: Never use your vacuum cleaner without the foam motor protection filter.
In order to maintain the high performance level of your appliance, do not vacuum ultra-fine substances
such as plaster, cement or ashes, and clean the foam motor protection filter at least once a month. If
you perceive that your vacuum cleaner is performing under regular average level, we recommend
that you clean the foam motor protection filter more frequently.
• Remove the dust container lid (9d) and then remove the foam motor protection filter (9c) (fig.21).
• Clean the foam motor protection filter (9c) with warm, soapy water.
Rinse and let dry for at least 12 hours before replacing the filter on the appliance (fig.22).
IMPORTANT: In order to ensure optimal motor protection, make sure that the foam motor
protection filter is completely dry before replacing it on the appliance. You will need to let it dry for
at least 12 hours before reinserting it into the dust container. An extra foam motor protection filter
is provided with your vacuum cleaner so that you may use the appliance while the first filter is still
drying.
ATTENTION: Never place the dust container components or the foam motor protection filter in an
automatic dishwasher.
3 • Vacuum cleaner care and maintenance
Wipe the main body of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth; then dry it with a dry cloth (fig.23).
IMPORTANT: Do not use detergents, or aggressive or abrasive products. The transparent color of
the dust container and/or of the separator lid may change with time; however, this will not modify
the performance of the appliance.
