The charge control display (5) will
3
come on and charging will begin. It will
also come on if the battery is already
fully charged. Always leave your vac-
uum cleaner in the wall mounting
when not in use in order to guarantee
optimal suction power.
To return to full suction capacity once
a battery has been completely dis-
charged requires a charging period of
18 hours.
If a fully charged battery works for less
than 8 minutes it might be the result
of a build up of resistance to charging
which occurs if the vacuum cleaner is
always used only for short periods. If
this happens you should charge the
battery fully and use the vacuum
cleaner until the battery is empty.
After this recharge the battery. Repeat
this procedure if necessary.
Information: The battery should not be
charged in room temperatures below
0 °C or above 40 °C.
The charger can heat up during charg-
ing.
