Black & Decker AA090020D Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. If the liquid, which is a
20-35% solution of potassium hydroxide, gets on the skin (1) wash quickly with soap and
water or (2) neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets into
the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek
medical attention.
The charger supplied with this product is intended to be plugged in such that it is correctly
orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.
WARNING: Do not look into the air vents when the unit is switched on, as sometimes
there is a possibility of small debris being discharged from the air vents, especially after
cleaning / replacement of the filters as debris inside the unit can be disturbed.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. B)
The charging bracket can be mounted to most walls or left unattached on a flat surface. Fix
the wall mount within reach of an electrical outlet. Mount securely into framing studs or
wallboard using the hardware provided. Next plug power supply plug into nearby electrical
outlet. Ensure cord is not too tight so as to pull unit off wall mount.
WARNING: Do not mount the charging bracket directly over the electrical outlet. Excess
water from the bowl could drip onto the outlet and create a hazard.
RECHARGING (FIG. C)
From new, the rechargable cells of the product need a minimum charge time of 16 hours to
ensure full power. We suggest you fully discharge the product when it is used for the first
time as this will help the cells recharge faster.
The switch must be in the off (“O”) position, the product will not charge if it is in any other
position.
Make sure that the product is fully mounted on the charging bracket. There is an
arrow on the charging base that must line up with the split of the dust bowl and the
handle. While charging, the product may get warm, this is perfectly normal and safe. It can
remain on charge indefinitely without damage or danger. It is not possible to “overcharge”
the battery cells with the charger provided.
For a better battery life, it is recommended to fully run the battery down and recharge it at
least once a month.

For best performance on hard surface wet pickups, insert Squeegee into the Bowl Nozzle
Opening.
Do not fill the bowl beyond the end of the intake chute. If there is any liquid in the bowl, do
not turn the unit upside down, sideways, point the nozzle upward, or shake the vac
excessively.
After picking up liquid substances clean the vac and filter immediately. Mold and mildew
may form if the unit is not properly cleaned after wet pickups.
Always return the product to the power supply immediately after use so that it will be ready
and fully charged for the next use. Ensure that the product is fully engaged with the power
supply plug.
CLEANING THE PRODUCT (FIGS . E-I)
WARNING: Never use the Dustbuster without its filters.
NOTE: The filters are re-usable, do not confuse them with disposable dust bags, and do not
throw them away when the product is emptied. We recommend that you replace the filters
every 6-9 months depending on frequency of use.
FIG. E
Remove the dust bowl by turning it counterclockwise slightly and pulling it away
from the handle. To replace the bowl, place it back onto the handle and twist it clockwise
until it “clicks” firmly into position.
FIG. F Empty the dust from the bowl and wash if necessary (see Fig. H).
FIG. G While holding the bowl over a wastebasket, pull out the foam filter and hard filter
to empty the contents of the bowl.
FIG. H Wash the filter regularly using warm, soapy water and ensure that it is completely
dry before using it again. The cleaner the filters are, the better the product will perform. It is
very important that the filter is correctly in position before use. The dust bowl can also be
washed in warm soapy water. Ensure that it is dry before re-attaching.
IMPORTANT: Maximum dust collection will only be obtained with clean filters and an empty
dust bowl. If dust begins to fall back out of the product after it is switched off, this indicates
that the bowl is full and requires emptying.
FIG. I Never immerse the product in water. A damp cloth and soapy water should be
used to clean the exterior of the motor section. Always ensure the product is completely
dry before re-use or storing.
ECONOMIC USAGE
Your product is very economical to charge. While it is charging it uses less than half the
amount of electricity used by a light bulb.
When fully charged, the average effective usage times are between 8-10 minutes.
It may take several chargings before these times can be achieved.
