Attaching the Handle
Assembly of the Handle is required when you receive your appliance. It is shipped this way to reduce the packing size and reduce packing material waste. No Tools are required to assemble the handle to the main unit.
- Set the Appliance in an upright position.
- Align the handle over the hole in the top of the main unit, then push down firmly until the handle locks in place.
Charging the Battery
- To charge the battery, insert the small round plug of the battery charger into the charging socket located on the side of the main unit, as shown.
- Plug the body of the battery charger into the power point and switch it on.
- The indicator lights in the front window will indicate when the battery is charging.
- Three blue light segments will “roll” from bottom to top, indicating charging.
- As the battery charges to approximately 33%, the first segment light will turn permanently on, then as the battery continues to charge to approximately 66%, the second light segment will turn permanently on, and then as the battery continues to charge to 100%, the third light segment will turn on permanently.
- At this time, turn off and remove the battery charger from the appliance, nd the power point.
Filling the Water Solution Tank
Using the Appliance without the water solution tank in place, or with the wrong solution, may damage the Appliance. Always make sure that the water solution tank is properly fitted in place before using the Appliance.
- Switch off the Appliance and remove the battery charger if on charge.
- Remove the Cleaning Solution / Water Tank by pressing down on the top of the tank, pulling forward, and lifting it out.
- Unscrew the cap (anticlockwise) and remove.
- Following the instructions on the cleaning solution bottle, add the cleaning solution and warm tap water (max. 40°C) to the Cleaning Solution / Water Tank.
- To work out how much cleaning solution to add to the clean water tank, follow this equation: For example, if the cleaning solution instructions state to mix 1:15, this means 1 part cleaning solution to 15 parts water.
- The water tank holds a maximum of 650ml; therefore, we need to determine what 1 part of the leaning solution will be. 1 part = (650ml ÷ 15) = 43.3ml.
- Therefore, add 43ml of cleaning solution to the clean water tank first, and then fill the rest of the way with warm tap water (max. 40°C).
- Replace the Cleaning Solution / Water Tank Cap and tighten clockwise. Do not over-tighten. Replace the Cleaning Solution / Water Tank into position as shown and push it in firmly until it clicks in place.
