immediately and check the extension pipe (21) for
obstruction. Remove the obstruction and only then
continue cleaning.
•
Do not use the vacuum cleaner near very hot sur-
faces, ashtrays or in places where inflammable liq-
uids are stored.

ASSEMBLING THE VACUUM CLEANER

After unit transportation or storage under cold
(winter) conditions, it is necessary to keep it for
at least two hours at room temperature before
switching on.
Battery charging
Before using the unit for the first time or after a
long period of inactivity, the battery (10) needs to be
charged for at least 6 hours; for optimal performance,
recharge it for at least 6 hours after the first discharge.
A fully charged battery (10) provides approximately 15
minutes of continuous vacuum cleaner operation.
•
Insert the plug of the power adapter (23) into the
connection socket (12), insert the power adapter
into the mains socket, the indicator (3) will be
flashing red (pic. 1).
•
When the battery charging cycle is finished, the
indicator (3) color will change to green.
•
Continuous battery (10) recharging cycles should
not exceed three hours.
•
It is not recommended to start charging the battery
immediately after its full discharge. Let it cool down
to normal temperature for a few minutes.
•
If you are not going to use the vacuum cleaner for a
long time, do not leave the battery fully discharged
– partial charging is enough to maintain its proper

operation.

Safety measures when handling the battery:
For optimal battery performance and to prevent its
damage, smoking and burning, observe the follow-
ing rules:
•
Charge the battery (10) at the temperature from
+10° C to +40° C. It is recommended to use the
vacuum cleaner within temperature range of from
-10 ° C to +45 ° C. Failure to keep within the tem-
perature limits can negatively affect battery per-
formance.
•
To charge the battery, use only the original power
adapter (23).
•
Do not expose the battery to high temperatures
(above 80 ° C) and direct sunlight and do not throw
it into fire.
•
Do not disassemble the battery or try to repair it
by yourself.
•
Do not short-circuit the battery.

(20), combined brush (18) or crevice nozzle (19)
– and attach it to the extension pipe (21) (pic. 3).
Note:
If necessary, you can attach the electric brush (20)
–

motor built in the brush; its bristles thoroughly comb
out pet hair and sweep dust particles out of the car-
pet pile.
Notes: Do not use the brush (20) to clean carpets if
the pile length exceeds 15 mm.
Do not run the brush (20) over electric wires.
