Installation

2-in-1 Charging & Storage Mount Installation Diagram

The 2-in-1 charging & storage mount is an optional accessory. You can install it
based on your needs.
Fully charge the vacuum before using it for the first time.
Note: The mount should be installed in a cool, dry place with power outlets nearby.
Before installation, make sure that there are no electrical wires or pipes directly
behind where the mount will be installed.

Paste the mounting template sticker on the wall and keep it parallel to the ground.
It is recommended that the bottom of the sticker is at least 119 cm off the ground.
Use a power drill with an 8 mm drill bit to drill a hole into each hole marker on the
mounting template sticker, then insert a wall plug into each hole.
Align the locating holes on the mount with the holes on the mounting template
sticker. Then, fasten the mount to the wall with the included screws.

Fully charge the vacuum before using it for the first time.

Note:
• The vacuum cannot be used while charging.
• Fully charging the vacuum takes about 3.5 hours. Vacuuming in Turbo Mode for
a prolonged time will cause the battery to heat up, which increases the charging
time. Allow the vacuum to cool down for 30 minutes before charging it.
• Check the current battery level on the LED battery status indicator or display screen.

Note: Once the vacuum is fully charged, the indicator will turn off after 5 minutes,
and the device will enter energy-saving mode.

Display Screen

The number on the display screen represents the current battery level in a percentage
during charging. When the number becomes 100, the battery is fully charged.
