Charging Your Machine

Fully charge your new machine before first use and after every clean. This helps the battery monitoring system learn and accurately display remaining run time.

Connect the charger directly to the machine or place it in the dock. Blue LEDs on the battery flash during charging and remain lit for 5 seconds when fully charged. The display shows 100% when fully charged.

The machine will not operate if the ambient temperature is below 10°C (50°F) to protect the motor and battery.

Changing Your Click-In Battery

Alternate batteries to maintain even performance. To remove a battery, support it with your hand, press the red battery release button, and slide it off the handle. Place the battery on charge. To install a battery, slide it onto the handle until it clicks securely.

Emptying Your Bin

Empty the bin as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX level. Do not overfill, as dirt reaching the filter may require more frequent maintenance.

1. Press the red wand release button and pull the wand away from the bin.
2. Hold the machine downwards over the bin. Firmly push the red bin release button to open the bin base and empty the dirt. The base will not open if the button is not fully pushed.
3. To minimize dust contact, cover the clear bin tightly in a dust-proof bag while emptying. Remove the bin carefully, seal the bag, and dispose.
4. Close the bin by pushing the bin base upwards until it clicks into place.

Cleaning Your Bin

Empty the bin first. Press the red button on the bin runner to release and slide the bin off. Clean the bin with a damp cloth only. Ensure the bin and seals are completely dry before replacing. Refit the bin by inserting the spine onto the runner and pushing the bin base upwards until it clicks. Do not put the bin in a dishwasher or use detergents, polishes, or air fresheners.

Washing Your Filter

Regularly clean filters to maintain performance. The LCD display will alert you when the filter unit needs washing. Wash at least once a month or when alerted.

1. Wash the filter unit in cold water only. Hold the filter unit with the foam element downwards under a cold water tap and rinse the pleated paper element.
2. Ensure the filter unit is completely dry before refitting. Position the filter unit in place on the main body and twist clockwise until it clicks.

The filter may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust or using Boost mode. Do not put any part of the machine in a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave, or near a naked flame.

Washing Your High Torque XL Brush Bar

Check and wash your brush bar regularly for optimum performance. Ensure the machine is disconnected from the charger and do not touch the trigger.

Washing Your Tools

Using Your High Torque XL Cleaner Head

The High Torque XL cleaner head has a slider control to adjust suction.

• + (Maximum suction): For ground-in dust and debris, durable floor coverings, hard floors, and heavily soiled carpets and rugs.
• Δ (Medium suction): For dust and debris, lightly-soiled carpets, rugs, and hard flooring. For large debris like peanuts or rice.
• - (Low suction): For deep pile carpets and delicate flooring, or where greater resistance is experienced. For lightly soiled floors and delicate flooring like vinyl, parquet, and lino.

Looking for Blockages

Your machine has an automatic cut-out. If blocked, the machine will pulse and the LCD screen will indicate a blockage. Be careful not to pull the trigger while checking. Ensure all blockages are cleared and parts refitted before use.

Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages. Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.

If a blockage cannot be cleared from the cleaner head, remove the brush bar using a coin to unlock the fastener. Remove the obstruction, replace the brush bar, and securely tighten the fastener. Ensure it is fixed firmly before use.

Carbon fibre brushes may cause minor skin irritation; wash hands after handling.
