USE

1. Suction clean the surface

   • Clean the window as usual with water and a cleaning agent.

   • Switch the window vacuum on by pushing the main power switch; the indicator light will be a steady green.

   • Place the rubber lip of the device on the surface to be vacuumed and use light pressure to pull it from top to bottom across the surface.

   • Hard-to-reach surfaces can be suctioned either from top to bottom, sideways or upside down.

   • If a windowsill or very wide window frames prevent or hinder a vacuuming to the bottom edge of the window pane, vacuum across the pane once at the end of the vacuuming process.
     NOTE: The powered-on device operates quietly in stand-by mode. The window cleaner generates its full power once the rubber lip of the window cleaner is placed on the glass pane or is lightly pressed. The battery charge lasts longer due to this automatic power control.

   • After suction cleaning the window, power off the device by pressing the appliance switch.

2. interrupting work

   • Place the device on its base (see figure 2) and power it off while it is not in use.
     NOTE: If the window vacuum is not used for 2 minutes while it is switched on (no contact between rubber lip and a hard surface), the device will switch into sleep mode; the LED will fl ash in red. The vacuum function will be activated automatically once the rubber lip comes into contact with a window pane. To interrupt or stop work for a long period of time, always use the main power switch to shut the device off.
     Attention: do not continuously switch the device on and off as this can damage electronic components.

3. Emptying the container during work

   • If the maximum fill level (marked „MAX“) of the dirty water tank has been reached, the tank must be emptied.
     NOTE: If the maximum fill level is exceeded, small amounts of water may leak out of the ventilation slots if the device is tilted too far.
     In order to avoid this, empty the tank before the maximum fill level is exceeded.

   • To do this, power off the device, open the side closure on the dirty water tank and pour the water into a container or drain (see figure 4.) Then close the tank again.

4. Ending work / cleaning the device

   • Power off the device.

   • Unlock the tank via the release button and remove it.
     NOTE: The device cannot be powered on when the tank is unlocked.

   • Remove the bottom cap from the tank and empty it through the opening in the base.

   • Rinse the tank out with clean water (see figure 5).

   • Do not put any hard objects, such as a washing-up brush, into the tank as this may cause damage.

   • Allow the tank to dry before reassembly.

   • Clean the rubber lip under running water.

   • Re-charge the battery when you are done with the work.

CAUTION: The basic unit contains electrical components.
Therefore, do not clean the basic unit under running water!
