DOCKING STATION INSTALLATION

• Use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type and ensure that the

docking station is mounted securely. Ensure no pipe work (gas, water, air) or electrical cables, wires or ductwork are located dire ctly behind the mounting area.

CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS

• Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpet s, check the manufacturer ’s

recommended cleaning instructions.

Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating br ush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming without the motorised floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.

the underside of the floor tool and its brushes are f ree from foreign obje cts tha t could cause marking.
