Getting started

Fully charge your machine before using for the first time

Power modes
Your machine has three power modes for different tasks. Change power modes quickly using a single button.

Eco-mode
Maximum run time for longer cleans all around your home. The screen shows the machine set to Eco mode with a full battery in green to show that this will give the longest battery life of the three modes.

Auto and Med mode
The optimum balance of power and run time.
Attach your cleaner head or Hair screw tool to activate the Auto mode. Suction power automatically adapts to dust levels.

Two screens show the machine set to Auto mode and Med mode with a blue battery showing that this will give a medium length of battery life.

Boost mode
Designed for intensive spot cleaning of ground-in dirt

Turn your laser on and off
Turn your laser on or off with the slider switch on your cleaner head.
Class 1 laser product – safe for pets and humans. Avoid looking directly into the beam.

Charging your machine

• 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 the remaining run time.
• Connect to the charger either directly or in the dock.
• The blue LEDs on either side of the battery will flash during charging.
• When the battery is fully charged, both LEDs will light for 5 seconds.
• Your battery is fully charged when the display shows 100%.
• 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 charger is connected to the power supply using the wall dock.

The charger is connected from the power supply directly to the front of the battery.

Changing your click-in battery

If you have additional click-in batteries, we recommend that you alternate the batteries to maintain even performance.
Removing your battery
Push the battery release button on the handle and slide the battery off your machine.
Charge the battery.
Refitting your battery
Align your battery with the handle and slide it in. Push firmly until it clicks into place.

Arrows show the location of the battery release button and the battery coming off the handle when the button is pressed. The battery is then shown being replaced on the base of the handle, clicking into place.

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 motorized floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.

The LCD screen shows your particle count information and performance, including the cleaning mode selected, remaining run time, filter maintenance and blockage information.

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.
Overfilling your bin could result in inaccurate readings on the particle graph.

The MAX mark on the bin of the machine shows that the dirt should not be filled over the Max mark when the machine is at the angle of normal use.

Remove your wand
Press the red wand release button, on the top of the wand, and pull the wand away from the bin.
