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
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.
4.5hrs
Where you have additional batteries,
we recommend that you alternate the
batteries to maintain even performance.

If any part becomes blocked, the machine may
automatically cut out.
The motor will pulse and the LCD screen
will indicate that there is a blockage.

Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.
If you can’t clear an obstruction from the cleaner head, you may need to
remove the brush bar. Use a coin to unlock the fastener, slide the brush bar
out of the cleaner head and remove the obstruction. Replace the brush bar
and securely tighten the fastener.
Make sure it is fixed firmly before using your machine.
Your machine has carbon fibre brushes. Take care if coming into contact
with them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands af ter
handling the brushes.

while looking for blockages.
Make sure any blockages are clear and all parts
are refitted before using your machine.
