Installation

Refer to the diagrams for vacuum and accessory installation. The 2-in-1 Charging & Storage Mount is an optional accessory.

2-in-1 Charging & Storage Mount Installation:

1. Install the mount in a cool, dry place near an electrical outlet, ensuring no wires or pipes are behind the installation spot.
2. The bottom of the mounting template sticker should be level and at least 103 cm from the ground, with at least 30 cm clearance above it.
3. Use an 8 mm drill bit to drill holes at the template markers and insert wall plugs.
4. Align the mount with the holes and fasten it to the wall with screws.

Charging Base Installation:

The charging base can be installed on the 2-in-1 charging & storage mount to charge the battery simultaneously with the vacuum. Remove the cover from the mount, install it on the back of the charging base, and then attach the charging base to the mount.

Charging

Fully charge the vacuum before first use. A full charge takes approximately 4 hours. Using Turbo Mode for extended periods may cause the battery to heat up, increasing charging time. Allow the vacuum to cool for 30 minutes before charging if overheated.

Charging Methods:

• Charging the vacuum with the charger.
• Charging on the charging base/mount.

Battery Status Display:

The display screen shows the battery level as a percentage (100% indicates a full charge). The LED Battery Status Indicator lights up sequentially during charging and remains solid when fully charged. The indicator turns off after 5 minutes once fully charged, and the vacuum enters energy-saving mode.

How to Use

Working Methods:

• Method 1: Discontinuous Cleaning Mode: Press and hold the on/off switch to power on; release to stop immediately.
• Method 2: Continuous Cleaning Mode (Electronic Lock): Click the electronic lock to switch to continuous mode when the vacuum is running. Release the on/off switch to maintain operation. This frees your fingers from holding the switch. Briefly pressing the on/off switch suspends or resumes operation without changing the mode. Click the electronic lock again to exit Continuous Cleaning Mode.

Using the Mopping Function:

Notes:

• Do not step on the water tank, as this can cause permanent damage.
• Vacuum heavily soiled floors before mopping for better results.

Care & Maintenance

General Tips:
