First use
Mounting the wall bracket
WARNING!

Select the area where you would like to mount the wall
bracket so that the vacuum cleaner can be easily removed
from the bracket when you need it.
When mounting the wall bracket, make sure that it is close to
a properly installed socket so that you are still able to reach
the socket with the mains adapter after installing the charging
plug in the wall bracket.
A wall bracket for the vacuum cleaner is included in the product contents to
ensure that the vacuum cleaner is always handy and so that it can be safely
stored. Proceed as follows to mount the wall bracket:
1. Select a suitable location for mounting the wall bracket 9
(see fig.A and B).
2. Hold the wall bracket up to the position where you would like to mount it
and, through the screw holes 8, mark the two drill holes on the wall with
a pencil.
3. Drill a hole at each of the two marks; the depth must correspond to the dow-
el length. Use a drill bit whose size corresponds to the dowels for this.
4. Insert the dowels in the two drill holes.
5. Insert the charging plug 15 through the hole 7and turn it by 90° so that
it is securely in place (see fig.B).
6. Hold the wall bracket up to the wall so that you can screw the two enclosed
screws 10 through the wall bracket into the drill holes or dowels
(see fig. B).
7. Use a cross-slotted screwdriver to screw the wall bracket in place.
8. Store the vacuum cleaner by attaching the back of it to the wall bracket
(see fig. C).
You can now charge the vacuum cleaner as described in the chapter
“Charging the vacuum cleaner”.

Operation
Charging the vacuum cleaner
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Improperly charging the vacuum cleaner could damage it.
− Only charge the vacuum cleaner at an ambient
temperature of at least 0°C and no more than 40°C.
− Once you have finished charging, pull the power plug out
of the socket.
The rechargeable battery of the vacuum cleaner must be charged for
14 to 16 hours before using it for the first time. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Use the hanger assembly on the back of the vacuum cleaner to attach it to
the wall bracket (see fig. A and C).
2. Insert the mains adapter in a properly installed socket.
The power indicator light 2on the vacuum cleaner will illuminate
(see fig.A).
Pull the mains adapter 16 to stop the charging process.
You can continually leave the vacuum cleaner in the wall
bracket/charging station as this device generally cannot be
damaged as the result of overcharging. However, we recom-
mend that you pull the mains adapter out of the socket after
the specified charging time.
You can also charge the vacuum cleaner directly via the mains
adapter. For this, insert the charging plug in the charging slot
on the vacuum cleaner and then the mains adapter in the
socket.

bin 18 have been correctly inserted as described in the chapter “Cleaning”.
5. If desired, fit the crevice nozzle 11 or the suction nozzle with the rubber
lip 14 in the receptacle for the suction nozzles 17 . You can also fit the fine
dirt nozzle 13 on the crevice nozzle (see fig. E and chapter “Overview of
suction nozzles”).

After vacuuming up liquids, hold the vacuum cleaner so that
the suction opening is facing down. This will prevent the liquid
from infiltrating the motor housing.
Overview of suction nozzles
Suction nozzle Use
Crevice nozzle • Used as an adapter for the fine
dirt nozzle.
• Used for cleaning crevices and
dry vacuuming.
Fine dirt nozzle • Is fitted on the crevice nozzle.
• Used for removing dust in
areas where there are objects
that are not to be vacuumed
up (e.g. drawers). The dirt is
loosened by the bristles and it
