When this occurs, it is recommended that you charge your vacuum cleaner immediately.

secured into place. Then, connect the charger mains plug to a suitable mains outlet, as shown
in Fig. 3. A blue LED indicator will light up and flash to indicate the unit is charging.

are illuminated. This usually takes between 4 and 5 hours.
