Cleaning The Filters - Black & Decker BDH1600PL Instruction Manual

• Lower the appliance onto the charging base. The blue
LED (3) in the base of the appliance will illuminate to
indicate that it is charging.
• When charging is complete, the LED will turn off.
• The charger may become warm during charging.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
While it is safe to leave the appliance connected to the
charger indefinitely, to reduce power consumption, we
recommend unplugging the charger after 4 hours.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF (FIG. E)
• To switch the appliance on, slide the on/off switch
(1) forward to position I.
• To switch the appliance off, slide the on/off switch
(1) back to position 0.
OPTIMIZING THE SUCTION FORCE
Rotating the bowl agitates the filter to remove dirt;
however, in order to keep the suction force optimized,
the dust container and filters must be cleaned regularly
during use.
