Melissa 640-075 manual Preparing the Appliance, Using the Apparatus, Dust Container and Filter

PREPARING THE APPLIANCE

For safety reasons, the battery is only partially charged when the appliance leaves the factory. Therefore, you must always start by charging the battery fully. Charge the appliance for 12-14 hours before first use.

Battery charging

1.Make sure the appliance is switched off.

2.Place the appliance in the holder (21).

3.Insert the charger (16) into the mains socket and connect the cord to the charger socket (20) on the holder.

4.Switch on the power. The blue recharging indicator

(8) on the appliance lights up.

5.Leave the battery to fully charge – approx. 12-14 hours, if the battery is completely discharged.

o The recharging indicator remains lit while the appliance is connected to the charger.

Tips!

We recommend always leaving the appliance in the charger when not in use so that the appliance is always ready to use.

NOTE:

•The battery becomes hot during charging – this is perfectly normal.

•Make sure the appliance is switched off on both on/off buttons (2 and 7) before charging.

USING THE APPARATUS

This apparatus can be used both as a floor vacuum and as a hand-held vacuum. Use the floor vacuum to vacuum floors. Use the hand-held vacuum cleaner to vacuum difficult-to-reach spots.

Before using the appliance, check that the filter (10) is correctly fitted in the dust container (12) (see “Emptying of dust container and cleaning of filter”).

Using the vacuum cleaner

1.Make sure the hand-held vacuum cleaner (5) has been correctly fitted to the appliance.

2.Attach the floor nozzle (6) by inserting the connector

(17) into the terminal at the point of the appliance and pressing the appliance onto the nozzle.

o Turn on the appliance by pushing the on/off button (2) on the foldable handle (1) forward.

3.Push the on/off button backward to the “OFF” position to swith off the appliance.

Using the hand-held vacuum cleaner

1.Detach the hand-held vacuum cleaner from the appliance by pressing the release button (4) whilst simultaneously pulling the hand-held vacuum cleaner upwards.

2.Push the on/off button (7) forward to switch on the appliance and backward to switch it off.

3.The crevice nozzle (13) is fitted to the hand-held vacuum cleaner and can be extended from the nozzle tip (12) when cleaning difficult to reach spots

(see illustration).

4.Attach the hand-held vacuum into the hollow on the appliance until you hear a click, once you have finished using it.

NOTE:

•If the appliance loses suction power during use, the battery may need to be recharged.

•Lack of suction power may also be caused by the filter being blocked and needing cleaning (see “Cleaning of dust container and emptying of filter”).

•If the appliance still does not have full suction power after cleaning or replacing the filter, the nozzle tip or the nozzle may be blocked.

•NOTE: Check cause of fault and correct. Do not use the appliance if any air holes are blocked. Permanent motor damage can result.

•We recommend that you empty the dust container after each vacuuming (see “Emptying of dust container and cleaning of

filter” below).

Tips!

To save room during storage, the handle of the appliance may be folded. Press down

the release button for the foldable handle (3) and tilt the handle toward the appliance (see illustration).

DUST CONTAINER AND FILTER

This appliance is not equipped with a dust bag. The dust/dirt is sucked up into the transparent dust holder instead. The air sucked in is cleaned by means of a two-component washable permanent filter in the dust container.

Emptying of dust container and cleaning of filter

IMPORTANT! If the appliance loses suction power during use, the filter pad may be dirty, and needs cleaning or replacing. Never use the appliance, when the filter is dirty or when it has not been fitted.

1.Detach the hand-held vacuum cleaner from the appliance by pressing the release button whilst simultaneously pulling the hand-held vacuum cleaner upwards.

2.Grab the dust container with one hand and twist it to release the dust container from the motor section (15) (see illustration).

3.Pull the two parts of the filter out of the dust container and empty the container. If necessary, rinse the dust container with clean water and wipe the container with a dry cloth.

4.The filter consists of two sections, both of which must be cleaned. Brush the parts with a small brush and/or wash them in tepid water. Add a little detergent if necessary. Check the filter pad is COMPLETELY dry before

replacing in the appliance.

NEVER insert a wet filter into the appliance.
