• Fix the dust tray on the main body of the appliance
Please note : In order to detach the Delta vacuum head, press the ejection button located at the back
of the main body (fig.4)
2 • Charging the battery
IMPORTANT: Use only the original charger provided with the appliance. Do not charge the appliance
at temperatures lower than 32ºF (0ºC) or higher than 104ºF (40°C). Using a universal charger will
automatically invalidate the guarantee.
Before you use your vacuum cleaner for the first time, you must charge the battery completely (for 6
hours maximum).
While the battery is being charged, the Stop/Start button must be in the Stop position (2.a)
• Place the vacuum cleaner near an electric power point.
• Plug the charger in and connect it to the vacuum cleaner using the socket located at the back of the
neck (fig.5).
• The light charge signals (4) located at the front will flash in blue, in the form of a wave.
Leave the vacuum cleaner to charge.
While the vacuum cleaner is being charged, the light charge signals (4) will turn on and off one after
the other. Once the charge is complete, the light charge signals will remain all on simultaneously for
about 10 seconds, and then turn off.
The charging time will depend on how discharged the battery is.
While the appliance is being charged, all its other functions will remain reactivated.
Once the charge is complete, unplug the charger from the mains, and then the appliance cord.
Once you unplug the charger, the light charge signals (4) will indicate the charge level of the battery
for about 10 seconds, then turn off.
The vacuum cleaner can stay connected to the charger permanently, without any hazard. Keep in mind,
however, that if you decide to keep the charger connected it might become slightly hot. This would be
a completely normal phenomenon.
It is advisable to charge the vacuum cleaner immediately after each use in order to always have it
available with a fully charged battery. Thus, you will gain the maximum benefit from its cleaning and
autonomous performance functions. However, in case you plan to be absent for a long period of time
(on vacation, for example), it is advisable to unplug the charger. Otherwise, the autonomous
performance function could be diminished due to automatic power loss.
3 • Turning on the appliance
Unplug the charger cord from the vacuum cleaner. If the charger remains connected to both the power
point and to the appliance, the latter will not function.
Hold the vacuum cleaner by the handle and slide the Stop/Start button downwards, towards one of
the following three speeds (fig.6):
• "Minimum": Used to vacuum clean thick or delicate rugs and carpets (3.a), as well as fragile surfaces.
