Battery replacement
Unscrew the battery compartment cover on the underside of the unit and slide out the battery tray hidden inside the compartment. If you are replacing the batteries, remove the set of used batteries from the tray. Insert a set of new 4 AA 1.5V⎓ batteries into the battery tray according to the polarity marking on the battery. Then slide the tray back into the battery compartment and close it.

To replace or remove the cap, grasp it with one hand and, holding the handle (6) with the other, pull on the unit to detach the cap from the unit.

CLEANING AND CARE OF SHOES
The hard and relatively stiff bristles of the brush attachment can damage the surface of delicate shoes. For this reason, we recommend testing the cap on an invisible part of the shoe before the actual cleaning.
Velour and suede leather shoes must not be polished.

Cleaning shoes from dirt (brush attachment): switch on the machine and run the brush attachment over the dirt until all the dirt is removed. Wet or damp dirt is best removed beforehand with a damp cloth, for example.
Shoe polishing and impregnating (sponge attachment): Depending on the colour of the shoe polish or wax used, choose a light or dark attachment. Mount the cap on the device and apply paste or wax to the cap. Turn on the brush and apply the chosen shoe care product to the surface of the shoes.
Shoe polishing (polishing caps): choose a light or dark polishing cap depending on the colour of your shoes, turn on the device and run it quickly over the surface of your shoes. Do not press it too hard on the surface of the shoe in order not to remove the freshly applied care product.
