• Charging: Low battery, Half battery, Nearly full, Fully charged

Notes:

• Fully charge the vacuum cleaner before using it for the first time. This will take about 5 hours.
• The vacuum cleaner cannot be used while charging.
• Once the vacuum cleaner is fully charged, the indicator will turn off after 20 seconds, and the vacuum cleaner will then enter the energy-saving mode.

Care & Maintenance

CAUTIONS:

• Before care and maintenance, unplug the power supply and make sure the vacuum cleaner is turned off.
• Always use genuine parts to ensure normal operation and to keep your warranty valid.
• If the filter, pre-filter, post-filter, extension rod, or 2-in-1 brush nozzle is blocked, the vacuum cleaner will stop working. Before using the vacuum cleaner again, turn it off and clean the blocked part.
• If the brush bar gets blocked, it will stop working but the vacuum cleaner itself will not. Before using the vacuum cleaner again, turn it off and clean the brush bar.
• Before cleaning, remove the brush head from the vacuum cleaner to prevent accidentally turning on the vacuum cleaner, which can cause injury.
• If the vacuum cleaner will not be used for an extended period, fully charge it and disconnect it from the power then store it in a cool, low-humidity environment away from direct sunlight.
• To avoid over-discharging the battery, recharge the vacuum cleaner at least once every three months.

Cleaning the dust compartment

Before cleaning the dust compartment, disconnect the power supply and remove the extension rod. The vacuum's cleaning ability will be reduced if the dust compartment is filled to the "MAX" mark. To regain performance, empty the dust compartment.

Empty the dust compartment: Hold the dust compartment over a trash bin, then press the dust release button to empty out the contents.
