Information on charging the battery
Fig. 4
ATTENTION!
The battery must be charged for 15 hours be-
fore using the appliance for the first time.
The battery should be completely discharged
before the initial charging.
Check this by switching on the appliance (see
“Operation” in the table of contents). Leave
the appliance switched on until the motor runs
only very slowly.
ATTENTION!
The battery will be charged only if the vacuum
cleaner is switched off.
NOTICE!
New batteries or batteries that have not been
discharged for an extended period possibly
will not be fully charged. The battery will be
fully charged after several charging and dis-
charging cycles.
1. Place the vacuum cleaner in the charging
station.
2. Now plug the charger station vehicle plug
into the electrical outlet.
3. Check whether the 3-color LED charging
display on the appliance
(5)
lights up. If so,
the battery is charging.
Red LED flashes: 0-40 % charge
Yellow LED flashes: 40-70 % charge (red lights up)
Green LED flashes: 70-99 % charge (red + yellow
light up)
The battery is fully charged when all LEDs light up.
4. While charging, the appliance and the
charger become somewhat warm. This is
normal and is not an indication of a problem.
5. After about 15 hours, unplug the charger
from the electrical outlet. This saves electric-
ity. The rechargeable vacuum cleaner can
be stored in the charging station until the
next use.
