Charging the Unit
1. Before charging, make sure both switches
are in the “off” position. Then insert the
adapter into an electrical outlet and the
plug into charging socket A or B. Charge
batteries for 10 - 12 hours before initial
use. Normal charging time is 8 - 10
hours. After that time, the cleaner will
run for approximately 15 - 20 minutes.
Caution: Do not allow the battery
to run down completely before
charging. In doing so, serious
problems may occur in the battery
life cycle.
2. A red lamp indicates the unit is charging.
A green lamp indicates the unit is fully
charged. If you have a charging problem,
refer to the chart in the
“Troubleshooting” section.
3. It is normal for the adapter to feel warm
while the battery is charging.
4. The cleaner can be on a constant charge
so it is always ready for use (it is over-
charge protected). However, if the cleaner
will not be used for several weeks at a
time, unplugging it is recommended.
