Wall mounting
The wall bracket is designed for storing the
appliance and also serves as a charging
unit.
First insert the charging plug into the wall
bracket, facing up.
Mount the wall bracket vertically, near a wall
socket, using the screws provided with the
appliance.
Both the crevice tool with brush and the
rubber nozzle can be stored on the left and

Before using for the fi rst time
Caution: Before the appliance is used for
the fi rst time, the discharge protection
tab on the On/Off switch must be
removed. Simply pull the tab upwards and
out, and dispose of it.
Charging process

∙ Place the vacuum cleaner in the wall
bracket. The charging process begins

indefi nitely without damage or danger
and is therefore fully charged and ready
for use at all times.
∙ Whilst charging, the adaptor will become
warm. This is perfectly normal and safe
and does not indicate a malfunction of
any kind.
∙ If the vacuum cleaner is not being used
for a long period of time, the capacity of
the battery may decrease by a certain
amount. However, full capacity will be
restored after several charge/discharge
cycles.

pack may be recharged through the car
cigarette-lighter socket.
∙ Insert the small plug of the connecting
cable into the 12V jack of the vacuum
cleaner, and the larger plug into the car's
cigarette-lighter socket.
∙ Power is now supplied directly from the
car's electrical system; the indicator lamp
shows red.
