What’s in the box

Your Pro Lite comes with a crevice tool and dusting brush as standard. Other tools are also available (see a section at the back of this manual).
Press the power button above the handle to turn your vacuum on and off. It has a power symbol on it. Press the mode button above the handle to switch between ‘Eco’ and ‘Max, mode.

There is a LED headlight on top of the product to illuminate the area being cleaned.
The battery indicator shows how much charge remains in the battery.

Connect the charger to the charging port located on the back of the battery pack. Plug the charger into the main socket. You can charge the battery both on and off the product. Whilst charging, the ‘G’ on the battery will pulsate green. Once the battery is fully charged, the indicator will show a solid green color. This will take up to 2 hours from the flat. For a quick burst of cleaning, you can charge the battery for just 30 minutes.

Press the latch on top of the battery downwards and slide it out of the product.
To refit the battery, simply slide it into the battery housing. Push the battery into the battery housing until it clicks into place. If you want to buy a spare battery, go to www.gtech.co.uk/spares.

Unlock the bag chamber by sliding down the release latch located on the front of the product.
Pull the chamber cover away from the main unit.

Slide the bag out of the bag chamber by gripping the collar of the bag.
Cover the bag by folding over the lid. Dispose of the bag and replace it with a new one. You can get more bags at: www.gtech.co.uk/spares or call 08081 685 028 Do not reuse bags as this could damage and reduce the performance of your Gtech product.
Before placing the bag in the chamber, ensure the bag is fully expanded by gently unfolding and spreading the fabric of the bag.
Slide the bag collar into the grooves inside the bag chamber. Make sure the collar is completely inserted into the chamber and the bag has expanded. A reduction in suction will occur if the bag has not expanded or is incorrectly fitted.

Refit the chamber cover. Fit the pegs on the cover into the slots at the bottom, then push the top part of the cover. You will hear a click when the cover is correctly fitted. Do not use the vacuum without a bag; it may damage the motor and will invalidate your warranty.

If the brush bar has jammed or there is a blockage, the battery will display a solid amber light for 5 seconds.
The tools can block sometimes too, so remove these from the main unit before checking for blockages.

A light above the main unit’s window allows you to check when the bag is full. You can also check for blockages.
Remove the battery and bag and look through the nozzle. Remove any blockages.
If the bag is full or there is a blockage, there will be a reduction in suction.

Optional extras

To attach the power brush, slot it over the standard nozzle. The power must be off while changing nozzles. To remove, place your fingers in the indents of the attachment, grip and pull it away from the main unit.
To clean the brush bar, first, remove the power brush. Rotate the latch from the ‘locked’ to the ‘unlocked’ position and pull out the brush bar.

To remove hair from the brush bar, run the hair removal tool down the groove to cut the hair, then pull it out. Never operate the powerhead without the brush bar in.
To remove hair from the brush bar, run the hair removal tool down the groove to cut the hair, then pull it out with the comb. Never operate the powerhead without the brush bar in.

The flexible power hose attaches in the same way as the other accessories and can be used as it is or with the addition of other tools.

Install your wall mount at least 1035mm from the floor. Universal fixings have been included – please use the correct fixings for the wall type you’re mounting this item to. Please use a stud finder to ensure no water pipes or electrical cables are hit. If you are unsure, please seek professional advice.
The tools can be stored like this on the wall mount. Your wall mount will look like the picture on the right when fully assembled with the ProLite.

Pull the detachable tool kit out from the fixed section of the wall mount. You can also carry the detachable part of your wall mount with you while you clean – attach it to your belt. Extra precautions must be taken to ensure you do not damage the product or injure yourself.
