PLEASE READ BEFORE USE

• The handheld vacuum cleaner is the base of the product. It can be transformed into a handstick vacuum
cleaner by adding the tube and the head.
• Ensure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate of your vacuum cleaner's charger is the same as your power
supply voltage. Any connection error could cause irreversible damage to the product and invalidate the guarantee.

a decrease in autonomy because of self-discharging.
