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.

Changing your click-in battery

• If you have additional click-in batteries, we recommend that you alternate the batteries to maintain even performance.

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.

• If this happens, we recommend vacuuming without the motorized floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
