Getting started

Power modes: The right power when you need it. Three modes to choose from, to suit any task on any floor type.

• Maximum suction: Intensive cleaning for ground-in dirt.
• Suction mode 2: The optimum balance of power and run time.
• Suction mode 1: Maximum run time for longer cleans.

Diagrams illustrate how to connect the wand and cleaner head, and how to select power modes using buttons. The action of connecting parts is indicated by a [click] sound.

Caring for your floors

Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and free from any objects that may cause damage. Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs, and carpets, check the manufacturer's recommended cleaning instructions. The brush bar on your machine can damage certain carpet types and floors. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming without the motorised floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.

Charging your machine

Connect to the charger either directly or in the dock. Your machine won't operate or charge if the ambient temperature is below 5°C (41°F). This is designed to protect both the motor and battery. The LED lights on your machine will tell you the level of charge.

• Charging, low charge.
• Charging, medium charge.
• Charging, nearly full.
• Fully charged.

Charging time is approximately 3.5 hours.

Emptying your bin

Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX level – don't overfill. Using your machine when the dirt is above the MAX line may affect the performance and require more frequent filter washing.

Remove your wand

Press the [red button] located on the top of the wand, and pull the wand away from the bin.

Release the dirt

Hold the machine over the bin, pointing downwards. Firmly push the [red bin release button]. The bin will slide down, cleaning the shroud as it goes, and the bin base will open. The bin base won't open if the [red bin release button] isn't pushed down all the way.

Minimise dust contact

Cover your bin tightly in a dust proof bag while you empty. Remove your bin carefully, seal the bag tightly and dispose.

Close the bin

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

Cleaning your bin

Remove your bin

If it is necessary to clean your bin, empty it as shown in the 'Emptying your bin' section. Press the [red button] located on the bin runner to release the bin and slide your bin off the runner. Only use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean your bin. Make sure that your bin and seals are completely dry before replacing.

Refit your bin

Insert the spine on to the bin runner. Close your bin by pushing the bin base upwards until the bin and bin base [click] into place.

Your bin isn't dishwasher safe and the use of detergents, polishes or air fresheners to clean your bin isn't recommended, as it may damage your machine.

Clearing blockages

Disconnect your machine from the charger before looking for blockages. Be careful not to touch the power button and be aware of sharp objects. Leave your machine to cool down before looking for blockages. Do not use your machine when looking for blockages as this could cause injury.

If your machine detects a blockage, the motor will pulse six times. You won't be able to use your machine until the blockage has been cleared. If you try to use your machine when the motor is pulsing, it will automatically cut out.

Leave your machine to cool down before looking for blockages and, for your safety, take care not to touch the trigger. Diagrams show visual indicators for blockages and the machine's response.
