To avoid scratches on polished floors, keep the
brushes of the nozzles and tools free from grit,
sand, or abrasive objects.
Make sure that the exhaust filter or pre-filter is
properly assembled before using the appliance.
Close the dust bin cover properly before using
the appliance. If the dust bin cover is left open,
the suction strength may deteriorate and affect
the cleaning results.
Store the appliance in the charging station or
place it flat on the floor when not in use. Leaning
the appliance against a wall or chair can result in
product damage or personal injury if the
appliance falls.
Environmental conditions such as temperature
and humidity may cause static electricity to
accumulate on the appliance. Please contact LG
Electronics customer information centre if the
problem persists.
Make sure to remove any foreign object such as
a sock or stocking before using the appliance.
Any foreign object on the inlet port or extension
pipe will prevent the appliance from functioning
properly.
Please use the product at normal room
temperatures as the battery runtime may
deteriorate severely if used at temperatures
lower than 5 or higher than 38 for an
extended period of time.
The battery runtime is dependent on the surface
type and the suction power.
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations when
cleaning flooring, carpets, and rugs.
Refer to the
Specifications
section for battery
runtime details.

OPERATION
Charging the Battery
Before Charging the Battery
Make sure that the adapter is connected to both
the charging station and the power outlet.
Fully charging a single battery usually takes 4
hours. It will take twice as long to charge both
the main and spare batteries.
The battery will not be charged if the indoor
temperature is below 5 . Only charge the
battery when indoor temperatures are between
5 and 38 .
The battery will eventually need to be replaced.
Due to the battery characteristics, runtime is
shortened after using the appliance repeatedly
for an extended period.
The last bar on the battery indicator begins to
flash when the battery needs to be recharged.
Use the appliance with a fully charged battery.
To maintain battery life on dual-battery models,
swap the positions of the two batteries
periodically, between the main body and the
spare charging station.
Charging the Vacuum Cleaner
Storing the appliance on the charging station
automatically recharges the battery.
1
Press the

tool or the crevice tool is inserted. Use the
charging station only after removing the
combination tool or the crevice tool, if either
happens to be fitted
If you don't hear a beep, reload the
appliance on the charging station.
Once the battery is fully recharged, 3 bars
will remain lit on the battery level indicator.
WARNING
Make sure to securely fit the product body onto
the charging station. If the appliance falls off the
charging station, it could cause injuries, property
damage or product damage.
Charging the Spare Battery
After the vacuum cleaner has finished charging,
the spare battery will start charging.

OPERATION
ENGLISH
The flexible hose extension cannot be used with
the power drive Nozzle.
Using the Kompressor Lever
Use the Kompressor lever to compress hair and
fibers inside the dust bin after vacuuming and
before emptying the dust bin.
The vacuum must be turned off before using the
Kompressor lever.
Compressing the dust clears it off the interior
walls of the dust bin and allows you to vacuum
for longer periods before emptying the dust bin.
It also makes cleaning the dust bin easier and
less messy.
The dust bin must be at least half full for the
compression plate to be effective.
Press the Kompressor lever down several times
to compress the dust and clean off the interior
walls of the dust bin.
NOTE
Do not force the Kompressor lever down if it
does not travel down all the way or feels
obstructed. Doing so can break the lever. If it
cannot be pushed down, the cyclonic filter must
then be removed and cleaned and dust tank
checked for any obstructions.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Appliance
Before Cleaning the Appliance
To maintain the optimum suction power, the
cyclonic mesh filter, the exhaust filter and the pre-
filter should be cleaned regularly and washed
under running water at least once a month.
Turn off the power before cleaning the
appliance.
The frequency of cleaning varies depending on
the usage environment and usage time. In a
dusty environment, clean frequently.
WARNING
Never wash the Nozzle, rotating brush or
product body with water. Water could reach the
motor and cause electric shock or fire.
Do not allow foreign objects to enter the motor.
Doing so may cause electric shock, fire or
product damage.
Do not insert fingers or sharp objects into the
motor. Doing so could cause product damage,
personal injury or electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not apply force or allow impacts to the
cyclonic mesh filter. Doing so could deform the
filter, compromise product performance, or
cause the product to malfunction.
If the Kompressor lever does not return to the
top, remove the cyclonic mesh filter from the
dust bin and clean it. A clogged or dirty filter may
cause poor cleaning results.
Removing Foreign Objects
If the appliance is clogged with foreign objects, the
suction power changes, the motor cycles
repeatedly, and the foreign objects clogging alarm
icon blinks.
If clogging persists, the appliance will turn off
automatically to prevent damage. Separate the
battery from the product body and remove the
foreign objects before resuming use of the
appliance.
Check the inside of the product body, above the
Kompressor working plate, the extension pipe,
inlets, exhaust filter, pre-filter and cyclonic mesh
filter for foreign objects.
If the inlets are not completely blocked, the
foreign objects clogging alarm indicator may not
light up.
If the sound of the appliance becomes loud or
the cleaning results is poor, check for foreign
objects.
Cleaning the Dust Bin
Empty and clean the dust bin after every use.
If the dust bin is completely full of dust or the
filter is clogged, the suction power may be
reduced.
CAUTION
Do not use the appliance without the cyclonic
mesh filter installed. Doing so could damage the
appliance.

Charging the Battery
Before Charging the Battery
Make sure that the adapter is connected to both
the charging station and the power outlet.
Fully charging a single battery usually takes 4
hours. It will take twice as long to charge both
the main and spare batteries.
The battery will not be charged if the indoor
temperature is below 5 . Only charge the
battery when indoor temperatures are between
5 and 38 .
The battery will eventually need to be replaced.
Due to the battery characteristics, runtime is
shortened after using the appliance repeatedly
for an extended period.
The last bar on the battery indicator begins to
flash when the battery needs to be recharged.
Use the appliance with a fully charged battery.
To maintain battery life on dual-battery models,
swap the positions of the two batteries
periodically, between the main body and the
spare charging station.
Charging the Spare Battery
After the vacuum cleaner has finished charging,
the spare battery will start charging.
One or two batteries are provided. The number of
batteries varies depending on the model
purchased.
1
Lift the front of the control panel located at the
top of the charging station.
2
To insert, align the battery with the outline of
the battery charger.
3
Press the battery down into the compartment.
NOTE
The spare battery icon (

OPERATION
CAUTION
Once power is restored, product will reset and
then product can be removed from emptying
station.
NOTE
The sound of the high-performance motor may
be louder than the existing wireless vacuum
cleaner. It is normal to hear sounds such as the
vacuum cleaner, dust bin cover opening,
product operating unit, and suction.
During the vacuum cleaner dust emptying
operation, a stronger suction force is applied
just before the dust emptying operation finishes.
The sound may increase, however this is normal
and does not indicate a fault.
During the dust emptying operation, the
product and spare battery are not charged for
safety reasons.
Replace the dust bag every 3 months to maintain
the dust emptying performance. The frequency
of replacing dust bag may vary depending on the
environment.
The dust bin may not be emptied completely
under certain conditions (very full, contains long
hairs, etc.). If this happens, press
Start/Stop
to
repeat the emptying process.
Clean the dust bin's inside, the easy dust
emptying lever and the large dust separator to
remove remaining dust. For more information,
see the vacuum cleaner owner's manual.
The AUTO dust emptying function may not be
able to remove dust and debris from the
cleaner’s canister if the Kompressor lever
function has been used repeatedly. A build-up of
compressed dust and debris within the canister
from using the Kompressor lever repeatedly, will
need to be removed by hand after using the
