Getting started

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.

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.
