• Make sure the appliance is switched off.
The battery will not be charged with the on/
off On/Off switch (1) in the On position.

standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet.

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.
