– Do not put the suction hole of the vacuum cleaner or the accessories close to your eyes and ears and do not insert them into any body orifices!
– Never immerse the charger, the battery, and the motor part of the vacuum cleaner into water (even partially) and protect them against humidity!
– Install the holder, the vacuum cleaner, and the appliance within sufficient distance from flammable objects (e.g. curtains, drapes, wood, etc.), heat sources (e.g. oven, stove,  etc.), and wet surfaces (e.g. sinks, wash-basins, etc.).
– Make sure that the power cord of the charger does not hang freely over an edge of a working table where children could reach it.
– Plug the battery charger into a socket with alternate current only.
– For charging the battery of the vacuum cleaner, use only the specific charger.
– Use the charger in a room only.
– Before cleaning the charger, unplug it from the electric socket.
– Always switch off the vacuum cleaner when charging the battery and after the vacuum cleaner was used.
– When the battery is charged, the charger is hot which is a normal condition.
– Charge the battery at standard room temperature.
– Leaking of electrolytes from the battery is caused by overloading the vacuum cleaner or by using the vacuum cleaner at extremely hot temperatures. If you are splashed with electrolyte, wash the affected place with water and soap and rinse it with lemon juice with vinegar. In eye contamination, rinse the affected eye for a couple of minutes with clean
water and seek medical advice immediately.
– Do not through the battery into fire. There is a risk of explosion!
– Do not charge the battery if the electrolyte is leaking from it.
– Do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 50 °C. This will prevent damage to the battery.
– The appliance must be disconnected from the power adapter when removing the battery.
– Do not connect the contacts of the battery or the charger! If you do not use a battery, keep it away from metal objects, such as paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can cause a short circuit of the battery connectors. A short circuit of the battery connectors can cause burn or fire.

PREPARATION AND USE OF THE VACUUM CLEANER

Remove all the packing material, and take out the vacuum cleaner and the accessories.
Fastening of the holder to the wall (it applies to type ETA 1442, ETA2442)
Fasten the holder C close enough to the electric socket using bonding material (Fig.3).
Make sure that there are no electric, telephone, or plumbing fittings under the plaster at the place of mounting the holder. You can also place the holder on a horizontal surface,
such as a table, etc. Then slide the vacuum cleaner A into the holder together with the accessories (D, E, F).

Charging the battery
It is necessary to charge the accumulator at least 14 to 16 hours before first use. Plug the adaptor G into the el. mains. Slide the connector of the adaptor lightly into the socket A6 in the cleaner (for ETA0442) or use the charging holder C, into which you may plug the connector of the adaptor and put the cleaner in it (for ETA2442, ETA1442) pic.
2. The operation of charging of the accumulator is indicated by indicator A2 (pic. 6).
The accumulator is usually fully charged after approx. 10 hrs and gives operation time for approx. 15 to 20 minutes (ETA0442 14-16 min; ETA1442 13-16 min; ETA2442 17-20 min).
Turn the cleaner off before charging!

CAUTION
– Do not charge the battery for more than 24 hours!
– If you charge the battery for the first time or after long storage, about 60 % of its total capacity is charged. After repeated discharge and repeated recharge, the battery is charged to 100 %.
– Let the charger cool down for at least 15 minutes between charging.
– After completing hard work or in a hot environment, the battery may be too hot for charging. Let the battery cool down before charging.
– The control light A2 does not provide any information about how much the battery is charged.

Using the vacuum cleaner
Disconnect the charger connector from the socket A6 or remove the vacuum cleaner from the holder. Choose suitable accessories (D, E, F) according to the type of the cleaned
surface. Slide the selected adapter end-to-end to the hole in the dust container B (Fig. 4). You can turn the vacuum cleaner on and off by the switch A1 (Fig. 6). Let the vacuum
cleaner recharge as soon as its suction performance is weaker. In everyday use of the appliance, let the vacuum cleaner connect to the charger. In this way, the appliance will always be fully loaded. Battery overcharging is not possible. If you are not present for a longer time (more than one day), remove the charger from the electric socket to save energy.

Vacuuming dry impurities
Select the suitable accessories (D – brush adapter for cleaning fine surfaces, E – slot adapter for cleaning corners and narrow gaps). Slide the selected adapter end-to-end to the hole in the dust container B. Remove the adapter in the opposite direction.
Vacuuming wet impurities
Slide the adapter (F – rubber scraper) end-to-end to the hole in the dust container B. Push the scraper slightly to the surface that you want to clean and hold the vacuum cleaner tilted at an angle of about 30 degrees. Make sure that the scraper is constantly in contact with the surface during vacuum cleaning (Fig. 5).

CAUTION
– When vacuuming wet impurities, the vacuum cleaner cannot be turned with the dust container upside down, laid down or bent to one side, or shaken.
– If the level of the liquid in the container reaches the maximum gauge, stop vacuuming the liquid.
– After every use of the vacuum cleaner for vacuuming liquids or wet impurities empty and wipe thoroughly the container, the protector, and the filter before you put it in the holder.

Emptying the dust container
If the amount of impurities in the container reaches the MAX gauge, it has to be emptied.
Release locking of the container B by pressing the A3 button and remove it from the vacuum cleaner by tilting (Fig. 7). Turn and pull out the filter B1 and the filter protector B2 from the container (Fig. 8), then place the container over a dustbin and empty it into common municipal waste (Fig. 9). Slide the protector and the filter back into the container end-to-end. Put the container to the vacuum cleaner in the opposite direction and secure it by snapping on the locking button A3. For sanitary reasons, we recommend emptying the container outside the housing premises.

Cleaning the dust container and cleaning the filter
After about 5 emptying of the container, we recommend complete cleaning of the suction system from the settled dust. Clean all parts (i.e. the container, the filter protector, and the filter) in running lukewarm water (e.g. using a cloth or a soft brush) and let it dry completely (Fig. 10). Re-assemble individual parts in the opposite direction after it is completely dry.

CAUTION
– The maximum suction effect will be reached by a clean filter and an empty container.
– Do not use any aggressive washing or cleaning agents or hot water to clean the filter.
– The filter is not intended for washing in a dishwasher.
– Cleaning the filter will not restore its original color, but it will restore its filtration properties.
– Neglecting filter cleaning may lead to the breakdown of the vacuum cleaner!
– Make sure that the binding surfaces and sealing elements are functional.
– We recommend replacing the filter twice a year or when it cannot be cleaned properly or if it is damaged. You can buy a replacement filter in the Elektro shop chain.

Filter replacement
Disassemble the movable parts of the cleaner for changing the filter (pic. 8). Remove the B1 filter by lightly sliding out the ring that holds the filter attached to the plastic body. Slide the new filter on and fix it thoroughly reversely.
Storing accessories
You may put the accessory (D, E, F) into holder C (valid for ETA1442, ETA2442), or to a safe place. Store the adaptor G in a safe, dry, and dustless place inside the house, keep it out of reach of children and persons sui juris.

MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the charger from the appliance before any maintenance. Store the vacuum cleaner in a dry place, far enough from heat sources (e.g. fireplace, stove, heating element), and protect it against weather conditions (e.g. rain, sunshine). Treat the surface of the vacuum cleaner and the charger (only when disconnected from the electric socket) with a wet cloth, do not use abrasive and aggressive cleaning agents! You can use a dishwasher for accessories B, B2, E, and F. Never dry plastic moldings over a heat source (e. g. heater, electric/gas stove).
