Information on disposal
Vacuum cleaners, batteries, accessories and packaging
should be recycled in an environmentally friendly
manner.
Do not dispose of the vacuum cleaner or the batteries in
the household rubbish.
„
Packaging
The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum
cleaner from being damaged during transportation.
It is made of environmentally friendly materials and
can be recycled. Dispose of packaging that is no lon-
ger required at an appropriate recycling point.

Batteries
Integrated batteries may only be removed by speci-
alist personnel for the purpose of disposal. Opening
the housing shell may damage the vacuum cleaner.
To remove the battery from the vacuum cleaner,
press the on/off switch until the battery is fully di-
scharged. Unscrew the screws on the housing and
take off the housing shell to remove the battery.
To prevent a short circuit, disconnect the battery
connections individually one after the other and
then insulate the terminals.
Even in the case of complete discharge, the batte-
ry still contains a residual capacity that may be re-
leased in the event of a short circuit.
