OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

Warning: We recommend allowing the vacuum cleaner to charge for 5 hours before first use.

Plug the end of the charger into the charger connection point located on the appliance’s hand-held vacuum cleaner. We recommend charging the vacuum cleaner with a hand-held vacuum cleaner attached to the main unit.
Plug the charger into the socket.
The charging indicator lights up, which means that the appliance is charging. 3 green squares flash during charging.
Allow the appliance to charge.
When the vacuum cleaner is fully charged, the charging indicator stops flashing and remains lit.
Disconnect the charger from the socket and the appliance.
Do not leave the vacuum cleaner charging unattended and do not charge it overnight.

USING THE ROD VACUUM CLEANER

If the handle is folded, unfold it until it clicks into place (Fig. 1).
Make sure that the hand-held vacuum cleaner is attached to the main body of the rod vacuum cleaner. First, insert the nozzle into the base.
Slide the handle into the main unit until it clicks into place (Fig. 2).
Slide the on/off button down to switch on the vacuum cleaner.
The vacuum cleaner has 2 power settings:
To use low power, slide the button to the middle position.
To use high power, slide the button to the lower position.
Move the nozzle back and forth over the surface. The movements should be even. Do not put too much pressure on the nozzle and allow it to vacuum the dirt.
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a battery level indicator. One green square is lit – low battery, Two green squares are lit – medium battery, Three green squares are lit – fully charged. When the battery is completely dead, the indicator will be flashing for 20 seconds and then turn off automatically.
We recommend emptying the dirt container before each use of the vacuum cleaner.

USING THE HAND-HELD VACUUM CLEANER

To separate the hand-held vacuum cleaner from the main unit, grasp the handle of the hand-held vacuum cleaner with one hand and press the release button with the thumb of the other hand.
To switch on the vacuum cleaner, slide the power button to the “on” position.
Move the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner back and forth over the surface you wish to vacuum. Do not put too much pressure on the nozzle and allow it to vacuum all dust and dirt.
The slotted nozzle can be used to vacuum hard-to-reach places, such as the sides of a chair. To use the slotted attachment, simply insert it into the nozzle of the hand-held vacuum cleaner (Fig. 3).
To attach the brush to the slotted attachment, press the “PRESS” button (Fig. 4).
Slide the brush onto the slotted nozzle until it clicks into place.
