Cleaning the charging contacts
If the charging contacts 7 on the appliance or the
charging contacts 3 on the charging unit are dirty,
charging may not be possible or may be interrupt-
ed.
– Clean the contacts using a cloth or wad of cotton
wool soaked in alcohol or spirit.
Care of the NiMH rechargeable battery
To maintain the charging capacity of the rechargea-
ble battery we recommend occasionally running the
battery down until the motor stops.
If the battery is run down (motor stops), be sure to
switch the On/Off switch 4 to 0 and place the appli-
ance in the charging unit.
– Make sure you do not leave the appliance
switched on when putting it aside if the battery
is run down.
– Make sure the appliance is switched off (On/Off
switch to 0) when you place it in the charging
unit.
