PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Follow these instructions when using the vacuum cleaner for the first time: Carefully remove the vacuum cleaner and all accessories from the packaging and remove all packaging material. Keep the packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, carefully check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Place the vacuum cleaner on a sturdy, dry and flat surface. Prior to using the vacuum cleaner for the very first time, charge the battery for at least 5 hours on the adapter.
ASSEMBLY
MOUNTING AND REMOVING THE TURBO BRUSH
Hold the connection of the turbo brush in line with the connection of the
stick and connect both parts in such a way that they snap in place. Press the
knob on the tube to disconnect the turbo brush – fig. 1.
MOUNTING AND REMOVING THE STICK
Hold the connection of the stick in line with the connection of the vacuum
cleaner and connect both parts in such a way that they snap in place – fig. 2.
Press the knob to disconnect the vacuum cleaner again.
CHARGING THE VACUUM CLEANER
Insert the connector of the adapter into the connection on the side of the
vacuum cleaner – fig. 3. Insert the adapter into the socket. Once the adapter
is connected to a socket, the vacuum cleaner is being charged. The indicator
lighting switches on and turns blue LED by LED. If the battery of the vacuum
cleaner is totally empty, charging takes approximately 5 hours. When the
battery is fully charged, all LEDs light up blue continuously. In order to
save power, the indicator lighting switches off after 3 to 5 minutes, once the
vacuum cleaner is fully charged. Always remove the adapter from the socket
once the battery is fully charged. It is normal for the adapter to become warm
when it is connected to the socket.
TIPS
- A fully charged battery has a usage time of approx. 40 minutes in normal mode and approx. 20 minutes in turbo mode.
- We recommend fully using up the battery at least once per month and then fully charging it. This is beneficial to the battery’s life span.
Warning!
- Never connect the appliance to the adapter with wet or damp hands.
- Do not make contact with the rotating brush of the turbo brush when the vacuum cleaner is on.
- Only use the originally provided charger to charge the vacuum cleaner. Other chargers could damage the appliance and can even be dangerous.

vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner will function in normal mode. Slide the
on/off button to the next position to activate the turbo mode. Fully slide
back the on/off button to switch off the vacuum cleaner. The turbo brush
starts to rotate automatically when the vacuum cleaner is switched on. The
turbo brush has been provided with LED lighting.
USING THE VACUUM CLEANER AS A HANDHELD VACUUM CLEANER
The vacuum cleaner can also be used as a handheld vacuum cleaner, in order to
clean furniture or car seats for instance. Remove the stick – fig. 4 and place
one of the accessories on the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner. The handheld
vacuum cleaner can be used with the turbo brush, crack nozzle or combination
brush nozzle Slide the on/off button on the handle to the first position to
switch on the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner will function in normal mode.

connected and the connector is inserted into the connection of the vacuum
cleaner, the battery will charge. Once the battery is fully charged, remove
the adapter from the socket and the appliance.
MAINTENANCE
Regularly check the filters to prevent problems. Empty the dust reservoir when it is full and clean or replace the filters when they are dirty.
EMPTYING THE DUST RESERVOIR
It is recommended emptying the dust reservoir after each use. The dust
reservoir is full when the amount of dirt has reached the max line. Remove the
accessories prior to emptying the dust reservoir – fig. 4.
- Hold the vacuum cleaner above a waste bin and remove the cover from the dust reservoir – fig. 5.
- The cover falls open – fig. 6. Gently shake the dust reservoir empty into the waste bin and close the cover in such a way that it snaps in place.
CLEANING THE CYCLONE SYSTEM AND FILTERS
First remove the accessories and empty the dust reservoir before cleaning the
vacuum cleaner – fig. 4. Clean the filters and cyclone system after each 4th
time that the dust reservoir is emptied.
-
Press the knob to disconnect the dust reservoir and remove the dust reservoir from the vacuum cleaner – fig. 7.
-
The entire dust reservoir comes away from the vacuum cleaner – fig. 8 and 9. Make sure you hold the dust reservoir upright to prevent the filter and cyclone system from falling out.
-
Remove the filter and cyclone system from the dust reservoir.
-
Clean the filter and cyclone system with lukewarm running water and allow the components to dry in the air. Do not use cleaning agents or brushes. It is possible that the filter does not return to its original colour after cleaning. This discolouration does not have an effect on its function.
-
The cyclone system consists of two parts. In order to clean the cyclone system thoroughly, you can dismantle the cyclone system. Unscrew the bottom side with the inner filter. Clean the parts with lukewarm running water. Do not use cleaning agents or brushes. Allow the parts to dry in the air.
-
Re-assemble all parts when everything is fully dry and place them back in the dust reservoir in reverse order.
Caution: the cyclone system fits in the dust reservoir in only one way. -
Properly connect the dust reservoir to the vacuum cleaner and make sure it snaps in place.
Attention
- Only use the vacuum cleaner when all filters have been placed. If not, the suction power could be reduced or the motor could be damaged.
- Torn or not properly sealing filters could damage the motor. When a filter is defective, it must be replaced by a new original filter.
CLEANING THE TURBO BRUSH
Hair and/or other dirt can remain in the rotating brush. Therefore, regularly
clean the turbo brush for an optimum use of the vacuum cleaner.
- Make sure the vacuum cleaner is off and disconnect the turbo brush from the vacuum cleaner.
