Charging the Vacuum
This vacuum uses a rechargeable 25.2V Lithium battery. We recommend
to fully charge before using for the first time. It takes 3-5 hours.
1. Place the body of the cleaner onto a flat surface either a table or fit
into the wall bracket.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
2. Insert the adaptor cord into the DC jack at the end of the cleaner
handle and plug the adaptor into the mains supply socket (fig.1).
3.
The light indicator shows the status (Fig 2):
Charging: Light 1 flash, light 2 off
Half charged: Light 1 on, light 2 flash
Fully charged: Light 1 & 2 on, then off in 10 mins
Low battery: Light 1 flash, light 2 off
Notes
•Light indicator 1(Fig 2) will flash when the battery is running low
and needs to be recharged, If recharge is not commenced, the
vacuum will power off.
•Only charge or recharge the vacuum indoors.
•Do not recharge the battery when the air temperature is below
0°C or above 37°C.
•Batteries become hot after heavy use and will become difficult to
charge. Allow to cool after use and wait about an hour between
recharges.

Safety
Tools
required
•Before drilling into wall surface, check for hidden cables or
pipes.
•Wear safety goggles and dust mask when drilling.
•The use of a residual current device (RCD) is recommended
when working with power tools.
•Drill fitted with a 6mm masonry drill bit
•Screwdriver
•Pencil
•Ruler
•Spirit level
1. Choose a suitable location for the wall bracket away from areas where
it will get wet or knocked and close to a socket outlet. Check that the
charge cable will reach the mains socket (180cm distance max)
and that there is sufficient space above and below the bracket
(approx.125cm below) for the fully assembled vacuum cleaner
to be inserted. No part of the vacuum cleaner should touch the floor
when fitted into the bracket (fig 6).

Operation
2. Place the bracket in the desired position
and using a pencil, mark the position for the
two screw holes. Using a ruler, draw a line
joining the points marked for the two
screws and using a spirit level, check that it
is on the same level.
3. If fixing to a masonry wall, use a masonry
drill bit, drill holes to a depth of 30mm and
insert the wall plugs.
4. If fixing to ceramic tiles, use a tile and
glass drill bit to drill through the tile and
then drill holes to a depth of
approximately 32 mm using a masonry drill
bit. Insert the wall plugs beyond the depth of
the tile.
5. Hold the bracket into position, align the fixing
holes in the bracket with the wall plugs and
insert the screws until the bracket is
held firmly into position
6. Fit the nozzles onto their storage posts,
and insert the assembled vacuum cleaner
into the bracket (fig.7).
Notes:
•If fixing the bracket to timber, follow the directions above, but
only drill a small pilot hole for each screw and do not use wall plugs.
This fitting is not suitable for mounting onto doors.
•If fixing to hollow plasterboard walls, use a drill bit suitable for
wood and use wall anchors suitable for cavity walls. For
maximum strength locate into wall studs and cross braces if
possible.

3. Alternatively, do not use the extension tube and fit the crevice nozzle
or combination nozzle directly onto the body of the vacuum cleaner
(fig. 9). The floor head can be fitted in a similar manner, but if
using in this configuration ensure hands are kept away from the
floor head during operation – due to a potential entrapment
hazard.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
Disconnect the charger from the vacuum cleaner before carrying out
cleaning and maintenance.
To ensure your vacuum cleaner works at optimum efficiency, keep the
ventilation holes and vacuum cleaner surface free from dirt.
Ensure that the dust container is emptied and the air filters are washed
regularly.
1. Wipe the outside of the vacuum cleaner and accessories with a
damp (not wet) cloth and then wipe dry. Do not use detergents,
solvents or abrasives as these may scratch or damage the surface.
2. Never immerse the vacuum cleaner, battery or charger in water.
3. When not in use, store in a cool, dry place.
Emptying the dust container
1. When the dust container reaches the MAX line marked on the
container (fig 11) or when the suction power is reduced, it is time to
empty the dust container.
2. Position the dust container over a refuse bin, then press the lever at
the front of the container to open the base (fig. 12) and empty the
container. Gently tap the container against the side of the bin to
remove any stubborn dust.

3. The inside of the dust container maybe wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Dry with a soft dry cloth before closing the flap. A click will be
heard when it is correctly engaged.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the filters
Fig. 13 Fig. 14 Fig. 15
Fig. 16 Fig. 17
1. The frequency that the filters should be cleaned will depend on
appliance usage. For maximum efficiency the filter within the dust
container should be cleaned every time the dust container is emptied
and the exhaust filter at the top every three months.
2. Click the dust container release button, located on the front of the
handle just above the dust container and pull dust container out(Fig 13)
3. Lift out the cyclone from dust container(Fig 14), lift out pre-motor filter
and shake off dust frequently. Every three months rinse filter and dry
thoroughly(Fig 15), turn the filter assembly head anti-clockwise to
disassemble the inner filter (Fig 16), wash with running water, and
make sure it is dry before next use(Fig 17).
Pull out Press
12

MAINTENANCE
4. Tap the filter against a dustbin to remove most of the dust and then
wash the filter in cold running water until the water runs clear. Allow to air dry
fully. Using a damp or wet filter will reduce the suction and
damage the motor.
5. The filter assembly can also be washed under running water if needed.
6. When the filter and assembly are completely dry, reverse the above
steps and refit the filter into the dust container and close the flap.
7. To clean or replace the post-motor filter, turn the cover anticlockwise
and lift off the cover(fig. 19), remove the filter(Fig.20), wash and dry the filter
in accordance with step 4.
8. Refit the filter and cover onto the cleaner.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the brush
1. The frequency that the brush should be cleaned will depend on
appliance usage. Always stop the vacuum and clean the brush head if
the indicators turn white or if the floor head brush stops rotating.
2. Remove the floor head from the cleaner (fig. 19).
3. Push the small lever at the side of the brush in the direction of the
front of the floor head and lift off the retaining plate (fig. 20).
4. Lift out the roller brush (fig. 21) and remove any thread, fluff or other
obstructions. The brush roller can also be washed under running
water if needed. Allow to fully dry.
5. Refit the bush roller and secure into position by fitting the retaining
plate.
