supplied with this product is intended to be
plugged in such that it is correctly oriented
in a vertical or floor mount position.
To charge the appliance:

off. The battery will not be charged with the
on/off power switch (1) in the on position.

stored on the wall hanging bracket (16) as
shown in fig D1. If using the bracket, affix it
to the wall using the screws and anchors
provided. If using bracket to store and charge
unit, affix within reach of an electrical outlet.
The unit hangs by resting itʼs handle area
onto the "arms" of the wall bracket.
• When charging is complete, disconnect
the charger from th outlet first, then
disconnect the charger plug from the
appliance.
While charging, the charger may become
warm. This is normal and does not indicate
a problem.
While it is safe to leave the appliance connected to the charger indefinitely, to reduce
power consumption, we recommend unplugging the charger after 24 hours. The
charging indicator will be lit as long as the appliance is connected to the plugged-in charger.
Switching on and off
• To switch the appliance on, slide the on/off switch (1) to the right to position 1.
• To switch the appliance off, slide the on/off switch (1) to the left until it clicks into the
off position.
Vacuuming
• When operating the appliance, make sure that the hose is not trapped, twisted or
blocked.
Two cleaning modes:
1. You can vacuum with the handle (2) and hose (4) wrapped around the main
appliance. Cleaning in this mode is great for quick pick-ups because the vac is in it's
most compact form.
2. You can vacuum with the handle (2) and hose (4) unwrapped from the main
appliance allowing you to reach up to approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) from the appliance.
• with handle and hose unwrapped the appliance can be carried using the built-in
handle on the main appliance.
