Charging your machine

For the best experience, we recommend fully charging your machine, and any additional batteries, as soon as you open the box and after every clean.

The LED light on the end of the handle will flash when the power is running low and you need to put your battery on to charge.

Connect the charger directly to the charging point on the base of the handle of your machine. You can also connect to your dock as shown in the installation instructions supplied with your dock.

The LED light on the end of the handle will pulse with a blue LED light when charging, and the light will go out when fully charged.

It can take up to four hours to fully charge your battery. Your battery has been designed to be left on charge.

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.

You can help prolong the battery life by leaving your machine to cool down before recharging.

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 up the Battery release button on the top of the handle and slide the battery out of the handle. Charge the battery.

Ref it ting your battery
Align your battery with the handle and slide it in. Push firmly until it clicks into place.

Emptying your bin

Empty your bin as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX mark.

You may need to clean the filter more often if you use your machine with a full bin.

1. Press the red wand release button and pull the wand away from the bin.
   

2. Hold your vacuum over a bin.
   Push the red bin release button, taking care not to press the power button. The bottom of the bin will open and the shroud will slide down inside the bin, wiping away any dirt.
   If the bin doesn’t open, check the bin release button is pushed down fully.
   

3. To close the bin, push the bin base upwards until the bin and lid both click into place. Reconnect the wand.
   To reduce contact with dust/allergens, put your bin in a dust-proof bag when emptying it. Remove the clear bin carefully and seal the bag tightly.
   Reconnect the wand.

Washing your filter
