USING VACUUM CLEANER
For the initial use of vacuum cleaner, charge the battery fully for 12 hours and discharge it completely.
This will condition the battery and help prolong the battery life.
1. Before connecting the plug of the battery charger into the socket, ensure that the voltage of the electricity
supply is same as that indicated on the rating label of battery charger. When charging is completed, pull the
plug of the battery charger from the socket.
2. Before use, check if the battery is fully charged. When the vacuum cleaner has been switched ON and
the motor have not enough suction power, it means the vacuum cleaner is out of power and need to be
recharged.
NOTE: 1). The regular charging time is 8 hours. Do not exceed more than 24 hours.
2). During battery charging process, the vacuum cleaner should not be used.
3). Only battery power should be used when using the vacuum cleaner.

battery charger (ZNL-D168020). Never use this charger for non-rechargeable battery.

cleaner and charging stand.
3. When charging, the charging light is red color. It turns to green color when fully charged.

nozzle is ideal for cleaning dust from corners or gaps and the crevice tool for sucking up liquids.
5. Whencleaning liquid spills, the liquid sucked should not exceed “MAX”line on the dust cup. It can
suck in approximately 200ml of liquid.
6. Slide the On/Off switch to "1"position. The vacuum cleaner will start to work.

power. The maximum continuous running time is approximately 15 minutes when the battery is fully
charged.
