OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation
Before using the appliance ensure that the battery is securely installed and is fully charged.
If not, recharge the battery (following instructions in ‘Battery charging’ section) before use.
Operating the vacuum cleaner
Start by selecting the appropriate attachment required for cleaning. Once the required
attachment is safely secured to the main body, simply squeeze and release the power
trigger for the power to turn ON. Once cleaning is complete, squeeze and release the
power trigger again for the power to turn OFF.
Adjusting the power level and using AUTO mode
When the AUTO button is pressed the vacuum cleaner uses special infrared sensors that
are able to automatically detect the amount of dust and debris that is travelling through the
vacuum tube.
When dust passes through the appliance it blocks the light emitted by the infrared sensor.
The more light that is blocked the more dust and debris there is being sucked through the
vacuum tube, and therefore the amount of power required is automatically increased or
decreased based on the sensors.
To manually change the power setting manually press the ‘+’ button to increase the power
and the ‘-’ button to decrease the power.
