INSTALL & CHARGE OF BATTERY PACK

When the vacuum cleaner power is insufficient or the vacuum cleaner is being charged for the first time, please fully charge the vacuum cleaner battery.
The battery can be charged in 2 different ways. It can be charged directly through the handheld vacuum cleaner (the battery capacity indicator will indicate the state of the battery) or the battery can be removed and
charged separately. Please remember to charge the battery after each cleaning session or when the battery is low.

Charging the battery separately: Plug the charger cable into the power inlet located on the back of the battery and the charger plug into the power socket. When charging, the energy indicator light will illuminate RED. Once fully charged this indicator light will change to BLUE. Once fully charged, turn the charger cable plug off at the power socket and remove the charger cable from the battery. Slide the battery into the vacuum cleaner body. The vacuum cleaner is now ready for use.
Charging the battery through the vacuum cleaner: Slide the battery into the vacuum cleaner body. Plug the charger cable into the power inlet located on the back of the battery and the charger plug into the
power socket. When there is little or no battery power, the three battery capacity indicator lights will emit a flickering light. Whilst charging, the number of lights will illuminate one by one indicating the charge level. Two lights illuminated indicates the battery is 50% charged and three lights indicates 100% charged. Once fully charged, turn the charger cable plug off at the power socket and remove the charger cable
from the battery. The vacuum cleaner is now ready for use.

Note: The total charging time is about 4-5hours.

ASSEMBLING THE VACUUM CLEANER

Before assembling the vacuum cleaner, mount the included wall-mounted storage unit to the wall. Ensure it is mounted high enough to allow the vacuum cleaner to rest on the wallmount at full height.
Place the mount against the wall and using the wall unit mounting holes as a guide, mark the wall where the wall plugs (brick only) will be drilled and inserted. Drill holes into the wall and insert the wall plugs. Line up the wall-mount unit holes with the drilled inserted plugs and insert the screws into the wall plugs. Tighten using a Philips head screw driver. (Drywall fixings not supplied)
Once fully charged, slide the battery into the vacuum cleaner body. When successfully installed, the battery will “click” into place.
Insert the power brush into the base of the conductive metal tube by clicking it into place.
Then insert the conductive metal tube into the vacuum cleaner body. When successfully installed, the parts will “click” into place.
If using the power brush without the conductive metal tube, simply attach it to the vacuum cleaner body. When successfully installed, the parts will “click” into place.
When attaching accessories, refer steps 1-4 above and substitute the reference to the power brush with the accessory in question. Use the upholstery nozzle to vacuum fabric furnishings such as sofas,
armchairs and curtains. Use the crevice nozzle to vacuum narrow spaces such as corners and hard to reach areas.

OPERATION

Before first use, ensure the battery is fully charged. Please refer to the “Install and Charge of Battery Pack” instructions on page 5 for charging installation of the battery pack.
