vacuuming without the motorised floor tool
and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.

Changing your click-in battery
It’s important to fully charge your new machine
before using it for the first time, and after
every clean. This is because the battery and
monitoring system’s algorithm ‘learns’ over
time, and fully charging your machine helps
it to more accurately calculate and display
remaining run time.

Where you have additional batteries,
we recommend that you alternate the
batteries to maintain even performance.
