Preparing the Vacuum Cleaner

3. Connect the charger to the DC connector. For the first use, charge the vacuum cleaner for 24 hours [4].
4. The charging indicator light will flash while charging.
5. Attach the product holder to the wall using the provided screw and holder [5]. During storage and charging, secure the handle of your appliance in the product holder.

Note: To detach the head, press the head release button and pull it off the main body.

Note: Use only the charging station supplied with the vacuum cleaner for charging.

Important Notice: The vacuum cleaner switch must be in the Off position while charging.

It is normal for the charger to get warm during charging.

If the operating time decreases after repeated use, allow the cleaner to fully discharge slowly until it stops completely, then recharge for 24 hours. Repeat this procedure monthly to optimize performance.

To minimize self-discharge and maximize battery life, unplug the charger from the product during periods when the vacuum will not be used regularly.

How to Use the Vacuum Cleaner

Turn on the vacuum cleaner by sliding the ON/OFF switch forward to one of the following settings:

• FLOOR: Ideal for hard floors. Normal power without the brush roller. [B2]
• CARPET: Ideal for carpets and rugs. Normal power with the brush roller. [B3]
• TURBO: Press the TURBO button for full power, either in floor or carpet mode. [C]

LED Display*

This vacuum cleaner is equipped with an LED display. When the product is turned on and the display lights up, the indicators show the following information.

Battery charge indicator*:

• 4 bars = 100% charged
• 3 bars = 75% charged
• 2 bars = 50% charged
• 1 bar = 25% charged

When the batteries are depleted, the last battery level indicator will flash for 20 seconds, and the appliance will automatically turn off.

TURBO: When the TURBO mode is activated on the ergonomic handle, the Turbo icon will glow blue*.

CHARGE INDICATOR: When the appliance is charging, the battery icon will flash every 2 seconds. When fully charged, the icon will stop flashing and remain lit as long as the charger is connected. The icon turns off when using the vacuum cleaner.

FRONT NOZZLE LIGHTS*: The LED nozzle lights will only illuminate when set to CARPET.
