• Handheld vacuum cleaner fiBwhich can be
carried with you whilst cleaning hard to reach
places.
UPRIGHT VACUUMING
Assembly
1Assemble the charging cradle base Í onto the
charging cradle Ê. Securely click it into place
C.
2Insert the charging adaptor jack plug  into
the socket on the charging cradle base Í D.
3Place the assembled charging cradle Ê on a
flat, stable surface.
4Swing the upright handle ⁄on the main
vacuum cleaner upwards until it clicks into
place in an upright position E1 .
5Place the motorised floor brush È on a level
surface and align the connector on the neck of
the motorised floor brush with the connector
hole on the base of the main vacuum cleaner
body.
Holding the neck of the
motorised floor brush in
place, lower the main
vacuum cleaner body ›
onto the motorised floor
brush until you hear the two
pieces click into place E2 .
When attaching the
motorised floor brush,
ensure that the latching
mechanism is fully locked
in place to ensure electrical
connection is made.
6Fit the handheld vacuum
cleaner into the cavity on
the main vacuum cleaner
body by firstly sliding the
suction end into place over
the suction hole in the main
vacuum cleaner body
cavity, then push the
handle end in to place until
a click is heard E3 .
7With the handheld vacuum
cleaner in place on the
main vacuum cleaner body
›, insert the vacuum
cleaner into the charging
cradle, ensuring that the lip
on the rear of the main
vacuum cleaner body ›
hooks onto the notch on
the concave section of the
charging cradle.
Charging
After connecting the charging adaptor jack
plug  into the charging cradle Ê, plug the
charging adaptor Ó into the mains supply.
If the vacuum cleaner is not located on to the
charging cradle Ê, the light on the charging
adaptor will glow green.
Locate the vacuum cleaner on to the charging
cradle. If the light on the charging adaptor
turns red, the battery requires charging. When
the light turns green, the battery is charged,
this will normally take 6-8 hours, but when the
battery is fully drained, a full charge may take
12 hours.
When fully charged, the battery will stay
charged for many days, however, we
recommend leaving the cleaner continuously
on trickle charge so the batteries are always
full.
IMPORTANT: If the charger is switched off for
an extended period, the jack plug must be
unplugged from the charging cradle.
