START-UP / CHARGING THE BATTERIES

Therefore, please fully charge the battery prior to the first use.
The battery reaches full capacity after some full charges and use cycles.
Attach the suction nozzle to the tank. Push the two accompanying locking tabs into the tank‘s upper surface until you hear the connection make an audible click.
The visible screws should be facing down in this position (see figure 3).
Before you charge the device, please ensure that the device is switched off (see figure 4).
Connect the charger to the charging connector. Plug the charger into the socket.
The LED display will flash green while the charging.
The LED will be solid green once the battery is fully charged.

The charger is only to be used in connection with the Leifheit window cleaner.
Always charge the rechargeable battery after work and always store the device fully charged.

USE

Suction clean the surface

Clean the window as usual with water and a cleaning agent. Switch the window vacuum on by pushing the main power switch; the indicator light will be a steady green. Place the rubber lip of the device on the surface to be vacuumed and use light pressure to pull it from top to bottom across the surface. To achieve the best results, hold the appliance at a 45° angle to the pane (see figure 5).
Hard-to-reach surfaces can be suctioned either from top to bottom, sideways or upside down. If a windowsill or very wide window frames prevent or hinder a vacuuming to the bottom edge of the window pane, vacuum across the pane once at the end of the vacuuming process.

NOTE: The powered-on device operates quietly in stand-by mode. The window cleaner generates its full power once the rubber lip of the window cleaner is placed on the glass pane or is lightly pressed. The battery charge lasts longer due to this automatic power control.

After suction cleaning the window, power off the device by pressing the appliance switch.

Interrupting work

Place the device on its base (see figure 2) and power it off while it is not in use.
NOTE: If the window vacuum is not used for 2 minutes while it is switched on (no contact between rubber lip and a hard surface), the device will switch into sleep mode; the LED will flash in green. The vacuum function will be activated automatically once the rubber lip comes into contact with a window pane.
To interrupt or stop work for a long period of time, always use the main power switch to shut the device off.

Emptying the container during work

If the maximum fill level (marked „MAX“ see figure 6) of the dirty water tank has been reached, the tank must be emptied. NOTE: If the maximum fill level is exceeded, small amounts of water may leak out of the ventilation slots if the device is tilted too far. In order to avoid this, empty the tank before the maximum fill level is exceeded.
To do this, power off the device, open the side closure on the dirty water tank and pour the water into a container or drain (see figure 7). Then close the tank again.

Ending work / cleaning the device

Power off the device. Unlock the tank via the release button and remove it (see figure 8).
NOTE: The device cannot be powered on when the tank is unlocked.
Remove the bottom cap from the tank and empty it through the opening in the base (see figure 9). Rinse the tank out with clean water (see figure 10).
Do not put any hard objects, such as a washing-up brush, into the tank as this may cause damage.
Release the suction nozzle (see figure 11) and clean both nozzle and rubber lip under flowing water.
Leave the device to dry fully while in the open position. Charge the battery after the work is complete.
Lock the tank before the next use by pushing the tank cover until it connects with the tank. Be careful to ensure that the tank cover is pushed into the correct position (see figure 12).
Push the tank onto the basic device from above until you hear the connection make an audible click. Insert the tank into the housing at a slight angle. (see figure 13).

CAUTION: The basic unit contains electrical components. Therefore, do not clean the basic unit under running water!

NOTES

Do not use the window cleaner on rough surfaces.
Clean the device with a damp cloth.
Never submerge the device in water.
If your product does not work properly under normal conditions, please contact your dealer with your proof of purchase.

WARNING
NEVER OPERATE THE DEVICE IN A PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED CONDITION!

TROUBLESHOOTING

Error	Note
LED flashes red	1. _The rechargeable battery is empty. Recharge the

device._

2. If the device is partially or fully charged

Use the main power switch to shut the device off and immediately on again – up to three times – to exclude a short-term error.

If the flashing continues

Let the device stand at room temperature for a few minutes while it is switched off. Low temperatures of the device can cause short-term errors.

If the flashing continues

Contact your seller where you purchased the device.

Streaks on window| 1. You may be holding the appliance too steeply or shallowly against the pane.

You will get the best result when the window vacuum cleaner is held at an approximately 45° degree angle to the pane.

2. Check the rubber lip for damage – this can be changed if required.

3. The rubber lip can be purchased separately in stores. For simple use just gently wet the rubber lip before you push it sideways into the suction nozzle.

Water exits from the ventilation opening| 1. The tank has reached the maximum limit of 100 ml and must be emptied

2. Fitful movements while using the device overhead can cause water to leak through the fan. Empty the tank regularly and avoid very fitful movements of the device.
