The I/O switch on the device body shall be in the “I” position. Place the charging base right against the wall beside a power outlet in a room to be cleaned, insert the adapter plug into the outlet. This causes illumination of the signal indicator on the base.
There shall be no obstacles at a distance of 1 meter from two lateral sides, and at a distance of 2 meters from the front side of the charging base. At the base location area, there shall also be no mirrors and intensively reflecting surfaces within 15 cm heightwise from the floor. In case of presence of such surfaces, they shall be blanketed.
Do not place the base against a window if exposure to direct solar radiation is possible.
(Fig. 16)
To start charging, move the power switch to the ON position, and put the vacuum cleaner on the base. Make sure that contact leads on the base align with contact leas on the device.

Do not leave the adapter unattended if energized after charging.
Do not leave the charging base on the floor for long when not in operation.
Attention! In is strictly prohibited to short-circuit the leads of the charging base!
Prior to a long-term storage, discharge the accumulator to the half. Do not keep the accumulator under subzero ambient temperature.

CLEANING THE DUST BAG

(Fig. 18)
Each time after vacuuming:

• * Press the dust bag latch, and pull downward,

  • Take out the container by pulling it outward.

  • Check for foreign items clogging the channels. If any, remove them.

  • open the lid by pulling the latch downward,

  • Flip the container upside down and shake any debris out of it.

  • To extract and replace HEPA-filter you should release the latch on the dust bag lid. Empty the HEPA-filter by way of shaking out, or by means of special brush. If necessary, rinse the HEPA-filter under a thin jet of water.
    Fig. 19
    

  • Dry out the filters and dust bag before installation.

  • Install the filters,

  • Close the container and install it on its place.

CLEANING THE CENTRAL BRUSH

The electric brush is intended for collection of household dust from the floor and carpets by means of a rotating bristle roller. Its design is quite a susceptible to clogging with long hairs, wool, threads etc. In case of clogging, you should immediately cease vacuum cleaner operation, and take measures for cleaning the bristle roller. The cleaning should be performed each time after vacuuming.
The roller has got a separate electric drive which engages simultaneously with the vacuum cleaner motor. To clean the roller:
(Fig. 20)

1. Turn off the device through I/O switch (by setting it to “O” position).
2. Flip the vacuum cleaner so that its rear part faces toward you.
3. Given a small amount of hairs and threads having wound around the bristle roller, they can be cut away with a knife without detaching the bristle roller. For this, position a sharp knife between rows of bristles so that the sharp edge of the knife faces outward from the roller, and then move the knife along the roller to cut any hairs and threads wound around it. Then, any hair trims can be easily removed out of the brush body; for your convenience it is allowed to manually rotate the bristle roller around its pivot axis.
4. Given a severe clogging of the bristle roller, detach the electric brush roller retention frame by a slight outward exertion on the retainer latch plates, and lift the near end of the frame, then take out the frame.
5. Slightly lift the right end of the bristle roller by pulling to the right, then unlatch it from the drive, and take it out of the socket. Having the bristle roller taken out of the body, use a knife or scissors to easily clean the roller from any hairs and threads wound around it.
6. Installation of the bristle roller back to its place in the brush body shall be performed in the reverse manner.
7. Given a severe clogging of components of the brush and electric drive, contact an authorized service center for disassembling and cleaning.

CLEANING THE LATERAL BRUSHES

(Fig.21)

1. Turn off the vacuum cleaner.
2. Check the brushes for any defects and / or foreign items, as well as debris having wound around.
3.  If necessary, detach the brushes.
4. Wipe the brushes with a piece of cloth preliminary soaked in hot water and well wrung. Perform the cleaning each time after vacuuming.
5. Given any damage to the lateral brushes, timely replace them.

CLEANING THE SENSORS AND CONTACT LEADS

• Make sure to keep the frontal wheel free from debris accrual.

• To remove dust from the fall sensors, wipe them with a piece of soft cloth provided exertion no mechanical impact.
  (Fig. 22)
  

• Use a piece of dry soft cloth to wipe the contact leads at the vacuum cleaner bottom, or on the base
