STEP 4: Checking the Charge Level
2. Recharging your Dirl Devil Vacuum when separated from the wall bracket
Simply leave the Dirt Devil set up as described until the red light begins to flash,
indicating that the machine is fully charged. The automatic power cut-off circuit
will then disconnect the machine from the mains.
The battery will now be ready to provide up to 22 minutes of power as a
handheld unit or up to 15 minutes as an upright.
Your Dirt Devil Vacuum should be left in charging mode when not in use so that
full power is at hand whenever you need it. However, like all electrical appliances,
we recommend you unplug the transformer if you go on holiday or are away
for any long period of time.
The handheld unit can be charged separately as follows:
•
Plug the transformer jack into the socket above the handle.
•
Plug the transformer into an electrical socket.
•
The red light will flash intermittently when the unit is fully charged.
Once the handheld unit is fully charged, it will not be necessary to recharge
the battery if you want to use the Vacuum in upright mode.
1. Recharging your Dirt Devil in wall mounted mode
3. Using your Vacuum in upright mode
•
Simply lift the machine off the wall bracket.
•
Twist the hand grip at the top of the machine anti-clockwise and
pull out the telescopic handle.
•
Twist the hand grip clockwise (until locked) once the handle
has reached the required length.The machine is now ready for use.
4. Using your Vacuum in handheld mode.
Depress the release button above the handle to remove the handheld
unit for the upright casing.
Operating the Appliance
Your machine has been supplied pre-charged so that it is ready to use for
the moment you open the box. However, you should check that the machine
is fully charged before you turn it on. This can be done as follows:
• Make sure the unit is turned off.
• Now hang it on the wall bracket.
• Plug the transformer into an electrical socket.
If your machine is fully charged, the red light on the handle will flash
intermittenly. If the red light is on constantly, your Dirt Devil will require
recharging to full power. If the light does not come on at all,
refer to your Dirt Devil Serving Agent or call: AU 1300 361 505 / NZ: 0800 800 900.
