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
You can use your machine immediately, or charge it partially, without the need to fully charge before first use.
Connect to the charger, either directly or in the dock. The blue LEDs on both sides of the battery will flash during charging. When the battery is fully charged, both LEDs will light for five 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 connected from the power supply using the wall dock.
100%
The charger connected from the power supply directly into 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 at the front of the battery unit, 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.

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. Make sure your machine power is turned off before removing your wand or releasing the bin.
Remove your wand Press the grey wand release button, 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 dustproof 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.
