CHARGING THE ACCUMULATOR

Prior to the first use or if the accumulator of the vacuum cleaner is fully discharged, let the vacuum cleaner charge for approximately 4 hours.
Connect the power cord and plug the charging adapter into the wall outlet.
If you want to keep the service life of the accumulator as long as possible, charge it only after it has been discharged completely.
The service life of the accumulator is approximately 300 charging cycles.
Note: The indicator light will flash once the device has made contact with the adaptor. The light will stay on once it is full charged.

MAINTENANCE

As a preventative measure, we recommend emptying the dust receptacle and cleaning the filters of the vacuum cleaner after each use.

CLEANING AND REPLACING THE FILTERS
The filters of the vacuum cleaner can be cleaned by mechanical shaking and cleaning with a soft brush. Heavily fouled filters can be washed after this step and cleaned with a soft brush in lukewarm water. Do not use detergents.

It is important to let the wet parts dry thoroughly. Wet filters might be damaged if used for vacuuming!

Do not use a hair dryer for drying!
Note: Wet cleaning can cause more wear and tear of the filters, and a correspondingly shorter service life.

The filters should be cleaned or replaced whenever they are visibly fouled, or when the suction power decreases. The filters should be checked after each use of the vacuum cleaner.
Never use the vacuum cleaner without properly installed filters to avoid damage to the appliance.
Suitable filter types are available at your local retailer, or they can be ordered from the manufacturer.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The vacuum cleaner and its accessories can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Do not immerse the power cord, charging adapter, or appliance into water or any other liquid.
Do not use aggressive substances for cleaning, such as solvents or abrasives!

The quality warranty term is 24 months from product takeover by the customer.

In terms of these warranty conditions, a defective accumulator is an accumulator that is electronically malfunctioning (i.e. it does not communicate with the basic unit, its charging or discharging circuits are faulty, etc.) or has an internal short-circuit.

Defects or changes of parameters resulting from normal use and/or wear (e.g. natural decrease in capacity) are not, in any event, considered to be defects in terms of warranty.

The warranty for the accumulators is granted for 6 months. In terms of these warranty conditions, an accumulator has the nature of consumables. For details, see “Consumables”

Filing a complaint

A complaint against a product defect must be filed as soon as identified, yet no later than before the end of the warranty term.

The customer must file a product complaint with the dealer from which they have purchased the product, or with any authorised service centre, a list of which is included in the product package, or available at www.my- concept.com.

While filing a product complaint, the product must be duly cleaned and securely packed so as to prevent any damage during its transport to an authorised service centre, where relevant, unless the product is delivered in person.

The customer must submit proof of having concluded a purchase contract for the product by producing the receipt.

While filing their complaint, the customer must indicate the noted defect and identify the preferred complaint application method.

Complaints processing

As long as the noted defect may be removed, the user has the right to have the defect duly removed free of charge on a timely basis.

Where such a procedure is not reasonable with regard to the nature of the defect, the user may require to be supplied a new defect-free product (replacement), or, where the defect applies to a part of the product only, replacement of the part concerned. However, if replacement of the product or any part thereof is not proportionate with regard to the nature of the defect, especially if the defect can be removed without undue delay, the customer has the right to have the defect removed free of charge.

If the noted defect is not removable, or if the customer becomes entitled to replacement of the product or a part thereof, yet the replacement is not possible, for example due to the product having been sold out, the customer has the right to return the product (withdrawal from the contract).

The customer shall have the right to a new product (replacement) or to replacement of a part of the product even if the defect can be removed, provided they cannot properly use the product due to repeated occurrence of the defect or due to a high number of such defects. In such a case, the customer also has the right to return the product (by withdrawing from the contract)

If the product is not returned (the customer does not withdraw from the contract), or if the customer does not apply the right to a new defect-free product (replacement), to replacement of a part thereof or to repair of the product, they may request a reasonable discount. The customer also has a right to a reasonable discount if a new defect-free product cannot be supplied to them, or if a product part cannot be replaced or the product repaired unless the situation is remedied within a reasonable time limit, or if remedying the situation would create major discomfort on the part of the customer.

The seller, authorised service centre or a staff member authorised by them must decide about each complaint immediately or within three business days in complicated cases. This term does not include a reasonable period of time, depending on the type of product concerned, required for the defect to be assessed by an expert. A complaint, including defect removal, must be dealt with without any undue delay, yet no later than within 30 calendar days of the complaint filing date, unless the seller and the customer agree on a later deadline.

On returning the product (withdrawing from the contract) the customer must return any accessories and documents supplied along with the product.

The customer does not have the right to keep the defective parts and components of the product replaced as part of a repair of the product.

This shall be without prejudice to any other rights the customer may have in relation to the purchase of the product.
