For safety, the battery is shipped with a 30% charge. Please fully charge the battery before first use. It takes about 4.5 hours to fully charge the battery from a flat status.

There are two ways to charge the INSE S18 battery:

Way 1: Charge the battery in the main motor

Insert the battery pack into the main motor. Insert the power plug into the battery pack and connect the power adaptor to the power supply.

Way 2: Charge the battery separately

Remove the battery pack from the main motor. Connect the power adaptor directly to the charging port on the battery pack.

The battery indicators show the power level during use and the charging status while plugged in.

On Work (During Use):

• Three solid white lights: Full power

• Two solid white lights: Medium power

• One solid white light: Low power

• One blinking white light: Lower than 10% of total power, needs a recharge

During Charging:

• Three white lights blinking successively: Charging

• Three steady lights: Charging complete

• The machine cannot be turned on during charging.

• Charge the battery only with the adaptor (30V) provided by INSE.

• When not using the battery for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place. Ensure the battery is half-charged (2 glowing indicator lights).

• If you need an additional battery, purchase one from an authorized distributor of INSE.

• Brush motor protection: If the brush motor has an overcurrent or short circuit, the machine stops. LED1, LED2, and LED3 will show running lights at 3Hz. After 5 seconds, the lights will extinguish, and all keys will be disabled during the alarm.

• Vacuum motor protection: If the vacuum motor has an overcurrent, short circuit, or blockage, the machine stops. LED1, LED2, and LED3 will blink synchronously at 3Hz. Other lights will turn off after 5 seconds, and all keys will be disabled during the alarm.

• Abnormal battery pack: If the battery pack is abnormal (e.g., cell temperature is higher than 70±3°C), LED1 will blink at 3Hz synchronously. Other lights will be off and will turn off after 5 seconds. All keys fail during the alarm.

• Charger voltage: If the charger voltage is < 30V, it can be charged normally, with LED1, LED2, LED3 blinking once every second from left to right. If the charger voltage is higher than 31.5V, charging will stop, and the LEDs will run a horse light sequence for 5 seconds before shutting down.

To ensure maximum performance of your INSE S18, regularly maintain its components. Important: The dustbin or the cleaner head cannot be washed with water, as the motors will be damaged.

Clean Handheld Part of the Main Motor:

1. Please turn off the vacuum before cleaning.

2. Wipe the surface with a clean cloth; avoid getting water into the inner part of the vacuum.

3. Do not place the vacuum under direct sunlight or in wet places after cleaning.

Clean Dust Cup:

The sign “-MAX-” on the dust cup indicates the dust capacity limit. Once the dust approaches the sign, empty the dust cup. You can use the 2-in-1 cleaning gadget to clean the inside.

Clean Detachable Roller Brush:

1. Unlock the side lock on the underside of the cleaner head, remove the side cover, and take out the roller brush.

2. Use the 2-in-1 cleaning gadget to cut and remove the tangled hair.

IMPORTANT!

1. Please check and clean the High-efficiency filter/HEPA regularly.

2. Please clean the filter in time if the suction performance declines.

3. Please replace the filter/HEPA if it’s broken or cannot maintain the suction performance.

4. Please do not bend or squeeze the HEPA.

Cleaning Steps:

1. Hold the main motor, press the button to open the dust bin cover. Rotate the strainer and filter assembly to unlock, then take them out one by one.

2. If they are very dirty, you can wash the metal filter and the black mesh with cool water. Clean the HEPA filter with the cleaning brush.

3. Ensure the strainer and the black mesh are completely dry before refitting.

Note on Runtime: Any posted runtime is the time when the machine runs without attaching to any surface and debris. Actual runtime will vary based on the power mode, battery capacity, attachment, debris amount, and cleaning area/surface.
