BATTERy DIAGNOSTICS
If the appliance detects a weak battery, the charging indicator will flash at a fast rate.
Proceed as follows:
• Place the appliance on the charging base.
• Plug in the charger.
• Leave the appliance to charge.
If the appliance detects a damaged battery, the charging indicator will flash at a fast
rate when the appliance is on the charger base. Proceed as follows:
• Take the appliance and the charger to be tested at an authorized service facility.
Note: It may take as long as 60 minutes to determine that the battery is defective.
If the battery is too hot or too cold, the LED will alternately blink, fast and slow,
one flash at each speed and repeat.
OPERATION
SwITCHING ON AND OFF
• To switch the appliance on, slide the on/off switch (1) to
the right to position 1. (figure D)
• To switch the appliance off, slide the on/off switch (1) to
the left until it clicks into the off position. (figure D)
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.
• The handle can also be removed from the hose so that you can connect an
accessory directly to the hose cuff (16) when desired.
Hints for optimum use
• When vacuuming stairs, always start at the bottom and work your way up.
• Use the pet hair cleaning tool to agitate and suction up pet hair and ground-in debris
from carpeted or upholstery surfaces.
Optimizing the suction force
In order to keep the suction force optimized, the filters must be cleared regularly during
use.
• Turn the filter cleaning wheel (5) two turns clockwise to remove any dust from the filters.
• The fine particulate filter must be cleaned regularly, see "Cleaning the fine particulate filter" section.
