  • Press the large button above the handle to turn the product on and off.
  • The product has 2 power settings: Max mode (higher suction power and shorter runtime) and Eco mode (lower suction power and longer runtime). Change modes by sliding the switch located in front of the On/Off button. The product will turn on in the mode it was last used.

Power floor head assembly

  • To use the product in-floor cleaning mode, join the 2 sections of the extension tube and fit the power floor head at the end. Ensure all parts are correctly lined up and push them into place. Ensure the product is switched off before removing or fitting attachments. To disassemble, place your fingers in the indents of the tube, grip and pull the sections apart.
  • Place your foot gently on the head of the vacuum and pull the body back towards you. You will hear a click.
  • A forward motion will pick up larger pieces of debris.
  • Pulling the vacuum back towards you activates the AirLOC and picks up finer particles.

Removing and cleaning the brush bar

  • Before you remove the brush bar, you will need to remove the power floor head from the extension tube. Rotate the latch on the side of the powered floor head to the ‘unlock’ position and pull out the brush bar.
  • To remove hair from the brush bar, use the hair removal tool to cut the hair before pulling it out. Never operate the power floor head without the brushbar in place.

LED headlight

  • For above the floor cleaning, you can fit the crevice tool or dusting brush for reachable areas or fit the extension tube with an accessory for high up cleaning
  • There is a headlight on top of the product to illuminate the area being cleaned.

State of charge

  • The battery state of charge indicator shows how much charge the product has. As you use the product, the green lights will turn off in a downwards direction.

Bag installation

  • Remove the lid by pulling it gently upwards.
  • Fit the bag collar onto the tube underneath the lid and push it up firmly.
  • New bags have a tendency to sit flat when first attached. Pull the bag down to sit vertically.
  • To get maximum efficiency from the bag, it is important to expand the bag before insertion. Do not use the vacuum without a bag: it may damage the motor and will invalidate your warranty.

Bag removal

  • Once the bag is attached and straightened, place the lid back onto the main body, making sure the bag cap is also inserted.
  • When the bag is full, lift the lid and remove it from the product with bag attached.
  • Carefully remove the bag from the product lid to avoid squashing contents. Insert the bag cap to secure contents.
  • Dispose of the bag and replace it with a new one.(You can get more bags at www.gtech.co.uk or by calling 08081 685 028). Do not reuse bags as this could damage and reduce the performance of the product.

If the suction is low when the bag is empty and a new bag is fitted you may have a blockage

  • Remove the battery and lid and look through the nozzle. Remove any blockages.
  • Remove the bag from the lid. Check for any blockages in the lid. Remove any blockages.
  • The tools can block sometimes, too.
  • A light above the window on the top of the lid allows visibility into the bag to indicate when the bag is full or if there is a blockage.

Power brush

  • To attach the power brush, slot it over the standard nozzle. The power must be off while changing nozzles. The power button will now power the brush as well as the suction.

Scented cartridge

  • Remove the scented cartridge from its box, cellophane wrapper and slide the plastic sleeve off.
  • Slide the scented cartridge into the opening on the right side of the lid. If the cartridge is missing the product will not seal and the performance will be much lower.
