2. Brush nozzle
   It is suitable for vacuuming dust and dirt from furniture, fragile items, from curtains, drapes, etc.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

• The battery is partially charged from the factory and it needs to be charge to full capacity. It is important that the vacuum cleaner is turned off when changing it.
• There are two methods for charging the vacuum cleaner:

1. Charging via the charging station
   Insert the vacuum cleaner into the charging station so that the contacts at the back part of the vacuum cleaner are aligned with the contacts on the base – see figure B1.
   Connect the connector of the power adapter into the socket in the charging station and connect the power adapter plug into a power socket.

2. Direct charging of the vacuum cleaner
   Connect the power adapter connector into the socket in the top part of the handle of the vacuum cleaner – see figure B2.
   Plug the power adapter plug into a power socket.
   • The charging indicator flashes during the charging process. When it stops flashing, the battery is fully charged.
   • When the battery is almost flat, the vacuum cleaner will stop running in order to prevent the battery from discharging fully.

Note:
When you have finished cleaning, allow the battery to recharge.
Keep the charging adapter plugged in permanently. The electronics in the appliance control the battery charging process and ensure that it is always optimally charged.
When the battery is fully charged, the electronics interrupt the charging process and resume it when it is necessary to charge it again. There is no need to worry about wasting electricity.
Disconnect the charging adapter from the power socket in the event of a long term absence. When you return, plug it back into the socket so that the vacuum cleaner is again ready for use.

Warning:
The battery is not removable. It is fully built into the vacuum cleaner. Only qualified personnel are authorised to remove it.

CLEANING THE VACUUM CLEANER

Emptying the dust container
It is recommended to always empty out the dust container after every use. If, however, the level of dust and dirt reaches the MAX mark, it is necessary to immediately dump out the dust container.

1. Remove the attached accessory from the vacuum cleaner.

2. Take the vacuum cleaner over to a garbage bin so that the bottom of the dust container points downwards.

3. Press the dust container release button and the bottom will open.
   The contents of the container will thereby be dumped directly into the garbage bin.

4. Use your hand to close the bottom of the container. The bottom of the dust container is securely locked in place when you hear a click.

Note:
For hygiene reasons, we recommend that you dump out the container away from living areas.

Cleaning the dust container
• Regularly clean the dust container to prevent unpleasant odours from being created.

1. Remove the attached accessories from the vacuum cleaner and dump out the dust container according to the above mentioned instructions.

2. Use one hand to hold the vacuum cleaner and the other to hold the dust container. Turn the dust container clockwise until the arrow on the motor unit points to the symbol on the dust container, which will release it and enable it to be removed – see figure C1.

3. Use one hand to hold the vacuum cleaner and the other to hold the fixed filter. Turn the fixed filter clockwise to to release and remove it – see figure C2.

4. Remove the HEPA filter from the fixed filter – see figure C3.

5. Tap out the HEPA filter and remove the dirt and dust from it using a fine brush or soft wiping cloth. In the event of heavy soiling, you can vacuum it out using a different vacuum cleaner with an attached brush nozzle. Do not wash the HEPA filter in water. This could damage it. In the event that the HEPA filter is already heavily soiled or deformed, replace it with a new one. We recommend replacing the HEPA filter based on the frequency of use, at least once every six months.

6. Remove dust and dirt from the fixed filter. If necessary, you can rinse it under clean running water. Then wipe them dry using a clean wiping cloth.

7. Wipe the inside walls of the dust container using a soft lightly dampened sponge. Wipe dry using a clean wiping cloth.
   Warning:
   Never install filters if they are wet or damp, or if the dust container is wet. Make sure that they are completely dry before installing them.

8. Insert the dry and clean HEPA filter into the fixed filter and put it on the motor unit of the vacuum cleaner and turn it anticlockwise to secure it in place.

9. Now put the dust container on so that the arrow on the motor unit is aligned with the symbol on the dust container and turn the dust container anticlockwise until the arrow on the motor unit is aligned with the symbol on the dust container.

Warning:
Under no circumstances submerge or wash the nozzle in water or any other liquid.
