PARKING POSITION OF THE VACUUM CLEANER
• To put the upright vacuum cleaner into the parking position, place the tip of your foot on top of
the floor nozzle Aqs and with a simple forward movement of the handle A1 secure the vacuum
cleaner in the vertical position. The tab located at the front on the elbow of the floor nozzle Aqs
will fit into the groove on the top cover of the floor nozzle Aqs.
• To release the upright vacuum cleaner from the parking position, place the tip of your foot on top of
the floor nozzle Aqs and with a simple backwards movement of the handle A1 release the vacuum
cleaner from the vertical parking position. The tab located at the front on the elbow of the floor
nozzle Aqs will slide out of the groove on the top cover of the floor nozzle Aqs.
CHARGING THE VACUUM CLEANER
• This vacuum cleaner contains a built-in Ni-MH battery and therefore it is recommended to charge,
use and store it at an ambient temperature of 15–30 °C (59–86 °F).
• Check that the vacuum cleaner is turned off. Place the assembled charging base Aql near a power
socket. Insert the power adapter plug Awd to the socket located on the underside of the charging
base Aql and guide the power adapter cord Awd through the groove out of the base Aql. Insert
the power adapter plug Awd into an electrical power socket. After connecting to a power socket,
the LED indicator Aw; will be lit green.
• Place the upright vacuum cleaner, that you have previously put in the parking position into the base
Aql. When the vacuum cleaner is placed into the base Aql, the LED indicator Aw; will be lit red.
F
• The built-in battery needs approximately 6 hours to fully recharge. The actual charging time depends
on the power level of the battery.
Note:
If you are charging the vacuum cleaner for the first time or if you have not used it for a long time
(longer than 3 months) then a complete charge requires approximately 8 hours or more. Before
first use or after not using it for a long time, always allow the battery to fully recharge. Do not
disconnect the power adapter Awd from the power socket too early.
