2 • Charging the battery
IMPORTANT:
Use only the original charger provided with the appliance. Do not charge the
appliance at temperatures lower than 32ºF (0ºC) or higher than 104ºF (40°C). Using a universal
charger will automatically invalidate the guarantee.
Before you use your vacuum cleaner for the first time, you must charge the battery completely
(for about 10 hours).
While the battery is being charged, the Stop/Start button must be in the Stop position (2.a)
• Place the vacuum cleaner near an electric power point.
• Plug the charger in and connect it to the vacuum cleaner using the socket located at the back of
the neck
(fig.5)
.
• The charge signal (4) located at the front of the main body will light in blue. Leave the vacuum
cleaner to charge. Once the charge cycle is completed (after about 10 hours), the light charge
signal will turn off automatically.
The vacuum cleaner can stay connected to the charger permanently, without any hazard. Keep in
mind, however, that if you decide to keep the charger connected it might become slightly hot. This
would be a completely normal phenomenon.
It is advisable to charge the vacuum cleaner immediately after each use in order to always have it
available with a fully charged battery. Thus, you will gain the maximum benefit from its cleaning
and autonomous performance functions. However, in case you plan to be absent for a long period
of time (on vacation, for example), it is advisable to unplug the charger for, in this case, the
autonomous performance function could be diminished due to automatic power loss.
3 • Turning on the appliance
Unplug the charger cord from the vacuum cleaner. If the charger remains connected to both the
power point and to the appliance, the latter will not function.
Hold the vacuum cleaner by the handle and slide the Stop/Start button downwards, towards one
of the following three speeds
(fig.6)
:
• "Minimum": Used to vacuum clean thick or delicate rugs and carpets (3.a), as well as fragile
surfaces.
Please note: always make sure that the wheels located at the back of the base are clean.
• "Medium": Used for better vacuuming of all floor types, and in case of light dirt marks (3.b).
• "Turbo": Used for optimum vacuum performance on all floor types, and in case of strong dirt
marks (3.c).
Vacuum cleaner running times* for each usage speed (with a fully charged battery):
Functioning of the light charge signal (4)
• About one (1) minute before running time ends, the light charge signal starts to flicker in blue (4).
• When the brush becomes uncharged, it stops automatically (the light charge signal continues to
flicker in blue for about ten (10) seconds). It is now time to recharge your appliance.
• Before you can use your vacuum cleaner again, you will need to recharge it for at least ten (10)
minutes.
