Getting started

Power modes

The machine offers three power modes to suit different tasks and floor types:

• Maximum suction: For intensive cleaning of ground-in dirt.

Caring for your floors

Ensure the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and free from objects that could cause damage. Always check the manufacturer's recommended cleaning instructions for your flooring, rugs, and carpets before vacuuming. Be aware that the brush bar can damage certain carpet types and floors. If carpets fuzz when using a rotating brush bar, it is recommended to vacuum without the motorised floor tool and consult your flooring manufacturer.

Charging your machine

Connect the charger directly to the machine or use the dock. The machine will not operate or charge if the ambient temperature is below 5°C (41°F) to protect the motor and battery.

The LED lights on the machine indicate the charge level:

• Charging, low charge: [LED flashing]
• Charging, medium charge: [LED half illuminated]
• Charging, nearly full: [LED almost full]
• Fully charged: [LED solid]

A full charge takes approximately 3.5 hours.

Emptying your bin

Empty the bin as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX level; do not overfill, as this can affect performance and require more frequent filter washing.

Removing the wand

Press the red wand release button on top of the wand and pull it away from the bin. [click]

Releasing the dirt

Hold the machine over a bin, pointing downwards. Firmly push the red bin release button. The bin will slide down, cleaning the shroud, and the bin base will open. Ensure the button is fully pressed for the base to open.

Minimising dust contact

To minimize dust exposure, cover the bin tightly in a dust-proof bag while emptying. Carefully remove the bin, seal the bag, and dispose of it.

Closing the bin

Push the bin base upwards until the bin and bin base click into place. [click]

Cleaning your bin

If necessary, empty the bin as described previously. Press the red button on the bin runner to release the bin and slide it off. Clean the bin with a damp, lint-free cloth only. Ensure the bin and seals are completely dry before reattaching.

Refitting your bin

Insert the spine onto the bin runner. Push the bin base upwards until it clicks into place. [click]

Note: The bin is not dishwasher safe. Avoid detergents, polishes, or air fresheners, as they may damage the machine.

Clearing blockages

Disconnect the machine from the charger before checking for blockages. Be aware of sharp objects and avoid touching the power button. Allow the machine to cool down before checking for blockages.

If a blockage is detected, the motor will pulse six times [motor pulsing]. The machine cannot be used until the blockage is cleared. Attempting to use the machine while it is pulsing will cause it to cut out automatically.

For safety, ensure the machine has cooled down and take care not to touch the trigger when checking for blockages.

Tapping the filter

Before washing, tap the filter gently over a bin to remove loose dust and debris.

Fill the filter with warm tap water. Place your hand over the open end and shake firmly to remove trapped dirt and debris. Repeat until the water runs clear.

Shaking and drying

Empty the filter and shake firmly to remove excess water. Continue shaking until no more water comes out. Place the filter upright and leave it to dry completely for at least 24 hours in a well-ventilated, warm place. Do not dry the filter in a tumble dryer, microwave, or near a naked flame. It is crucial that the filter is completely dry before reinserting it into the machine, as a damp filter can cause damage.
