PREPARING THE VACUUM CLEANER

1. Carefully unpack your cordless vacuum cleaner.

2. Remove packaging around the vacuum cleaner, power cord and AC plug.
Do not remove warning labels.

3. Lay all components out on the floor ready for assembly.

INSTALL & CHARGE OF BATTERY PACK

Battery capacity indicator

When the vacuum cleaner power is insufficient or
the vacuum cleaner is being charged for the first

time, please fully charge the vacuum cleaner battery.
The battery can be charged in 2 different ways. It can
be charged directly through the handheld vacuum
cleaner (the battery capacity indicator will indicate the
state of the battery) or the battery can be removed and
charged separately. Please remember to charge the battery
after each cleaning session or when the battery is low.

1. Charging the battery separately:
Plug the charger cable into the power inlet located on
the back of the battery and the charger plug into the
power socket. When charging, the energy indicator
light will illuminate RED. Once fully charged this
indicator light will change to BLUE. Once fully
charged, turn the charger cable plug off at the
power socket and remove the charger cable from
the battery. Slide the battery into the vacuum
cleaner body. The vacuum cleaner is now ready for use.

OR

1. Charging the battery through the vacuum cleaner:
Slide the battery into the vacuum cleaner body. Plug
the charger cable into the power inlet located on the
back of the battery and the charger plug into the
power socket. When there is little or no battery power,
the three battery capacity indicator lights will emit a

flickering light. Whilst charging, the number of lights

will illuminate one by one indicating the charge level.
Two lights illuminated indicates the battery is 50%
charged and three lights indicates 100% charged.
Once fully charged, turn the charger cable plug off
at the power socket and remove the charger cable
from the battery. The vacuum cleaner is now ready
for use.

Note: The total charging time is about 4-5hours.

ASSEMBLING THE VACUUM CLEANER

1. Before assembling the vacuum cleaner, mount
the included wall-mounted storage unit to the
wall. Ensure it is mounted high enough to
allow the vacuum cleaner to rest on the wall­mount at full height.
Place the mount against the wall and using the
wall unit mounting holes as a guide, mark the
wall where the wall plugs (brick only) will be
drilled and inserted. Drill holes into the wall
and insert the wall plugs. Line up the wall-mount
unit holes with the drilled inserted plugs and
insert the screws into the wall plugs. Tighten

using a Philips head screw driver. (Drywall fixings

not supplied)

2. Once fully charged, slide the battery into the
vacuum cleaner body. When successfully installed,
the battery will "click" into place.

3. Insert the power brush into the base of the
conductive metal tube by clicking it into place.
Then insert the conductive metal tube into the
vacuum cleaner body. When successfully
installed, the parts will "click" into place.

4. If using the power brush without the conductive
metal tube, simply attach it to the vacuum
cleaner body. When successfully installed, the
parts will "click" into place.

5. When attaching accessories, refer steps 1-4 above
and substitute the reference to the power brush
with the accessory in question. Use the upholstery
nozzle to vacuum fabric furnishings such as sofas,
armchairs and curtains. Use the crevice nozzle to
vacuum narrow spaces such as corners and hard
to reach areas.
