Getting started

Caring for your floors

Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is cle d 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.

Charging your machine

Connect to the charger either directly or in the dock. 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 LED lights on your machine will tell you the level of charge.

• Charging , low charge
• Charging, medium charge.
• Charging, nearly full.
• Fully charged.

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.
