For safe storage of the device, the lower screw fastening of the wall bracket should be placed at a distance of 0.83-0.85 m from the floor. Illustration F
ATTENTION
Material damage due to incorrect installation Incorrect installation can damage both the device and the floor covering if it falls. Use suitable mounting tools for wall mounting. Take the weight of the device and the loading capacity of the installation location into account when selecting the fasteners.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and injuries Make sure there are no electrical cables, water or gas pipes in the wall around the mounting area. Install free-standing parking station Note Mounting on the wall is not necessary. 1 Plug the base, connecting tube and holder together
and let them click into place. 2 Place the device in the holder.
Illustration G
ATTENTION
Risk of injury or property damage If the parking station is placed in an unfavorable position (e.g. in the middle of a room), you can trip over it and injure yourself and/or the device can be damaged by falling over. Place the device with the parking station in a safe, quiet place (e.g. wall, corner). Note Dismantling is done by pressing the release buttons on the back of the parking station on the stand and bracket.
Initial startup
Installing accessories
Note The multi-function brush is also driven by its own integrated motor and must therefore always be connected directly to the hand-held device or the suction pipe in order to ensure the power supply. All other accessor parts can also be used directly with the hand-held device or with the suction pipe to increase the reach. Push the suction pipe on to the suction fitting of the
dust container until it audibly clicks into place. Press the unlocking button and remove the suction
pipe from the suction fitting. Illustration B Push the floor nozzle on to the suction pipe until it audibly clicks into place.
