Cleaning and user mainte- nance must never be carried out by children without su- pervision. Information on disposal Vacuum cleaners, batteries, accessories and packaging should be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner. Do not dispose of the vacuum cleaner or the batteries in the household rubbish. Plastic bags and films must be kept out of the reach of children and disposed of. Packaging The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from being damaged during transportation. It is made of environmentally friendly materials and can be recycled. Dispose of packaging that is no lon- ger required at an appropriate recycling point. > = There is a risk of suffoca- tion.
Proper use Batteries Integrated batteries may only be removed by speci- alist personnel for the purpose of disposal. Opening the housing shell may damage the vacuum cleaner. To remove the battery from the vacuum cleaner, press the on/off switch until the battery is fully di- scharged. Unscrew the screws on the housing and take off the housing shell to remove the battery. To prevent a short circuit, disconnect the battery connections individually one after the other and then insulate the terminals. Even in the case of complete discharge, the batte- ry still contains a residual capacity that may be re- leased in the event of a short circuit.
To charge, only use the charging cable included in the scope of supply. The charging cable must only be connected and ope- rated as specified on the rating plate. The appliance must only be stored and charged in- doors. Do not expose the appliance to temperatures below 0 °C or above 40 °C. Do not use a damaged charging cable. Replace it with an original charging cable. When disconnecting the charging cable from the mains, pull the plug itself to remove it; do not pull on the power cord. Do not pull the charging cable over sharp edges or allow it to become trapped.
Before carrying out any work on the vacuum cleaner, switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the charging cable and the mains. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner if it is damaged. If a fault is detected, switch off the appliance and dis- connect it from the charging cable and the mains. For safety reasons, only authorised after-sales service personnel are permitted to carry out repairs and fit replacement parts to the vacuum cleaner. In the following cases, you must stop the appliance immediately and contact the after-sales service:
−If you have accidentally vacuumed up some liquid or liquid has entered the inside of the appliance; −If the appliance has been dropped and damaged. Protect the vacuum cleaner from outside weather con- ditions, moisture and sources of heat. Switch off the appliance when it is not in use. For safety reasons, the appliance is fitted with an over- heating protection system to safeguard the battery and motors. The appliance will switch off automati- cally if it or the battery is too hot. > = The appliance will need around 30 minutes to cool down before it can be used again. The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from being damaged during transportation.
We therefore recommend keeping the packaging for the purpose of future transportation. 7
