BATTERY CHARGING

HOW TO CHARGE

Only use the charger supplied with the appliance. Do not charge the appliance if the temperature is lower than 0°C or higher than 40°C. Recommended recharge environment temperature: 5÷35°C Using an universal charger cancels the warranty.

a. Before using the vacuum cleaner for the first time, the battery must be entirely charged.
b. During charging, the appliance is switched off.

The battery charge decreases during use.

c. Place the vacuum cleaner next to a power socket.
d. Connect the charger (12) to the power socket. (Fig.F4)
e. Insert the male connector (20) in the socket on the charge base (9) or directly in the motor body (4) socket (5). (Fig.F4)

f. Make sure that the connector (20) is inserted in the appliance body socket (5). After a few seconds the LEDs turn on displaying battery charge status.

Note:

• The vacuum cleaner can remained connected to the charger permanently without any risk. The charger slightly heats up: this is a perfectly normal phenomenon.
• To charge the vacuum cleaner again after use is advised so that it’s always available, completely charged and so that you could benefit optimally from its aspiration performances and from its autonomy.
• However, it’s preferable to disconnect it in case of a long absence (holidays…) as an autonomy decrease caused by self-discharge could occur.
• If the appliance is not used for more than a month, fully charge it and then disconnect the power adapter. Repeat the operation at least every 3 months.
• When the battery is almost completely empty, proceed to recharge it. Avoid draining the battery completely.

Do not attempt to disassemble the appliance and / or batteries. It’s dangerous !
