HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. Keep the
cleaner operating at top efficiency. Empty the dust cup and clean the filter after each
use.
Storing and Charging the Vacuum Cleaner
Return your vacuum cleaner to the wall holder (as
shown) after every use. Firmly position into the mounting
bracket ensuring that the vacuum cleaner fits correctly
into the charging socket. It will then be recharged and
ready for operation at all times.
The plug charger can be left in the electrical outlet at all
times, even when the unit is in use. It is impossible to
overcharge the batteries. The plug charger will become
warm, however, this is not a cause for concern. The
unit is charging when the red light on the top of the
vacuum cleaner is illuminated.
