• Cleaning and user maintenance tasks may not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.
• Take special care when using the handheld vacuum cleaner on stairs.

CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!

• Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
• The mains adapter may not be used for other purposes. Never carry the wall bracket or the mains adapter by the cable. Do not pull on the cable when you want to move the appliance.
• Always grip the power plug to disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Always be sure to keep the handheld vacuum cleaner away from heating elements, ovens or other heated appliances and surfaces.
• Make sure that the ventilation slits are never obstructed. A blocked ventilation circuit can result in overheating and damage to the appliance.
• The appliance is equipped with or supplied with a lithium-ion battery. Do not throw the batteries into a fire and do not subject them to high temperatures. There is a risk of explosion!
• Do not use the handheld vacuum cleaner without the dust filter inserted.
• Do not use the mains adapter for a different product and do not attempt to charge this appliance with a different mains adapter. Use only the mains adapter supplied with this appliance.
• Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• The batteries in this appliance cannot be replaced.
  Prior to first use
• Remove all packaging materials from the appliance.
• Press the dust filter bag 9 and the dust filter 0 a little way into the dirt container q. They might have loosened during transport and thus not be positioned correctly inside the dirt container q.
• Place the dirt container q on the motor unit:
  – Push the plastic tab on the underside of the handheld vacuum cleaner into the recess on the dirt container q.
  – Press the release button 8 and push the dirt container q onto the motor unit at the same time.
  – Let go of the release button 8 so that the restraint engages in the recess. The dirt container q is now firmly seated on the motor unit.

Information about the batteries

• This handheld vacuum cleaner is powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Before using the handheld vacuum cleaner for the first time, the batteries must be charged. The charge indicator lamp 7 lights up red during charging. As soon as the batteries are fully charged, the charge indicator lamp 7 lights up green.
• For care of the batteries, we recommend the following: once the batteries have been charged, disconnect the mains adapter 4 from the mains socket. Do not plug the mains adapter 4 back into the mains socket until the charge indicator lamp 7 flashes green.
• If the handheld vacuum cleaner is deep-discharged, the charge indicator lamp 7 flashes alternately red and green (approx. 1 minute). In this case, switch off the appliance and start charging.

Installation of the wall bracket

DANGER! ELECTRIC SHOCK!

• Ensure that there are no power cables or other conduits or pipes in the wall at the location where you intend to bore the holes for the wall bracket 3. Drilling into a current-carrying electric cable can be potentially fatal!

1. Place the barrel plug 5 of the mains adapter 4 into the wall bracket 3 as shown in the following diagram:
   – Open up the small cover
   – First, feed the cable through the cable routing and then push the barrel plug 5 into the opening in the wall bracket 3 so that it is firmly in place
   – Then close the small cover again.
2. Select a suitable installation location for the wall bracket 3:
   It must be possible to remove the handheld vacuum cleaner easily and there must be an accessible mains power socket for the mains adapter 4.
3. Drill two holes about 34 mm apart. Use the wall bracket 3 to mark the holes, to ensure the correct spacing. The drill holes must be suitable for 6 mm wall plugs.
4. Push the wall plugs into the holes and then screw the wall bracket 3 firmly into place using the screws.
5. Connect the mains adapter 4 to a mains power socket.

Charging

NOTE

• Ensure that the on/off switch 6 has been pushed back (and thus the appliance is switched off) before starting the charging process.
• Place the handheld vacuum cleaner from above into the wall bracket 3 so that the barrel plug 5 slips into the socket on the handheld vacuum cleaner. The charge indicator lamp 7 lights up red and the charging process begins.
• When charging is complete, which can take around 5 hours with fully discharged batteries, the appliance automatically switches to a trickle charge (maintenance function). The charge indicator lamp 7 lights up green. Nevertheless, in order to avoid possible damage to the batteries, do not leave the appliance permanently connected to the mains adapter 4.
• Do not recharge the batteries again until the handheld vacuum cleaner’s suction power becomes appreciably weaker and the charge indicator lamp 7 flashes green.
• If the handheld vacuum cleaner is deep-discharged, the charge indicator lamp 7 flashes alternately red and green (approx. 1 minute). In this case, switch off the appliance and start charging.
• The handheld vacuum cleaner can also be charged directly via the mains adapter 4. To do this, remove the barrel plug 5 with a slight twist from the wall bracket 3 and insert it into the socket on the handheld vacuum cleaner.

Operation

CAUTION!

• The suction opening must always be open and may not be blocked. Block-ages lead to overheating and damage to the motor.

NOTICES

• Make certain that the dust filter 0 is always inserted before using the appliance.
• When vacuuming liquid, do not exceed the MAX marking in dirt container q.

1. Remove the handheld vacuum cleaner from the wall bracket 3 or, if you are not using the wall bracket 3 remove the barrel plug 5 from the socket.
2. If required, place the appropriate nozzle in the suction opening.
   The crevice tool 2 and the wet suction nozzle 1 are kept in the space-saving accessory storage in the handle
   – the crevice nozzle 2, to clean narrow and difficult to reach locations.
   – the wet suction nozzle 1 to vacuum up liquids.
   • NOTE: After you have vacuumed up liquids, immediately clean the dirt container q. Otherwise, bacteria or mould will build up inside! Ensure that the dust filter bag 9 is completely dry before using the appliance again.
3. To switch the appliance on, slide the on/off switch 6 forwards. The charge indicator lamp 7 lights up green.
4. When you have finished using the appliance, slide the on/off switch 6 to the rear.
   • NOTE: If you have vacuumed liquids, always carry the appliance with the wet suction nozzle 1 pointing downwards:
   • If you carry the appliance horizontally or with the wet suction nozzle 1 pointing upwards, it is possible that liquid can leak out:
   • Place the handheld vacuum cleaner in the wall bracket 3 and start the charging process once the vacuum power has become noticeably weaker and the charge indicator lamp 7 flashes green.

Cleaning

To achieve the best results, empty the dirt container q and clean the dust filter 0 after every use.

CAUTION! MATERIAL DAMAGE!

Do not use aggressive, chemical or abrasive cleaning agents. These could damage the outer surfaces of the appliance.

1. To open the dirt container q, press the release button 8 and remove the dirt container q.
2. Remove the dust filter 0 from the dirt container q.
3. Empty the dirt container q.
4. Pull the dust filter bag 9 with its holder out of the dust filter 0.
5. Rinse the dust filter bag 9 out in cold water and wait until it is completely dry before reinserting it into the dust filter 0. Do not dry it with hot air.
6. Reinsert the dust filter 0 into the dirt container q. When doing so, ensure that the dust filter 0 is seated squarely and that the rubber lip seals the dirt container q.
7. Replace the dirt container q on the motor unit again:
   – Push the plastic tab on the underside of the handheld vacuum cleaner into the recess on the dirt container q.
   – Press the release button 8 and push the dirt container q onto the motor unit at the same time.
   – Let go of the release button 8 so that the restraint engages in the recess. The dirt container q is now firmly seated on the motor unit.
