CHARGING THE BATTERY
Charge up the vacuum cleaner’s batteries
for approximately 16 hours before using it
for the first time.
Figure 6. Insert the charger jack (15) into
the battery charger (12) on the appliance.
The charge indicator (13) will light up. This
indicator will remain lit as long as the va-
cuum cleaner is plugged in, even if the
battery is fully charged. The vacuum clea-
ner will become warm while it is charging.
This is quite normal and will not interfere
with the appliance’s safety or operation.
The vacuum cleaner can always be left to
charge when it is not in use. This will ensure
that the battery is always fully charged and
ready for use.
IMPORTANT:
Please make sure that the va-
cuum cleaner must be switched off before
charging it.
