completely, switch it off, recharge the battery for about five minutes and then switch back on again,
running on mains power.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
• Before using the appliance for the first time, charge the battery for 24 hours. For subsequent charges,
allow the appliance to charge for at least 12 hours.
• Switch the appliance off using the switch (fig.1 - ref.3). The battery can only be charged with the
