Caring for your floors
Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and 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.

Alerts
When the battery needs charging, your machine will pulse three times and a red
warning icon will appear on the screen. The alerts you might see are: Filter –
the filter isn’t fitted correctly, or needs cleaning. Blockage – your machine
has a blockage that needs removing.
Charging your machine
It’s important to fully charge your new machine before using it for the first
time and after every clean. This is because the battery and monitoring
system’s algorithm ‘learns’ over time, and fully charging your machine helps
it to more accurately calculate and display the remaining run time.
Connect to charger either
directly or in the dock. The blue LEDs on either side of the battery will
flash during charging. When the battery is fully charged, both LEDs will
light for 5 seconds. Your battery is fully charged when the display shows
100%. Your machine won’t operate if the ambient temperature is below 10°C
(50°F). This is designed to protect both the motor and battery.
Changing your click-in battery
Where you have additional batteries, we recommend that you alternate the
batteries to maintain even performance.
To remove a battery Hold your
hand under the battery to support it. Press the red battery release button and
slide the battery off the handle. Place the battery on charge.
To install a battery Slide the battery onto the handle until it clicks
securely in place.
Emptying your bin
Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX level – don’t overfill. Using the machine when the dirt is above the MAX line may cause the dirt to reach the filter and more frequent maintenance will be required.
Be careful not to pull the power trigger while the clear bin is open for
emptying.
01. Press the red wand
release button and pull the wand away from the bin.
02. 
To release the dirt: Hold the machine over the bin in a downwards position.
Firmly push the red bin release button. The bin will slide down, cleaning the
shroud as it goes and the bin base will open. The bin base won’t open if the
red bin release button isn’t pushed down all the way.
03. 
To minimize dust/allergen
contact when emptying, cover the clear bin tightly in a dust-proof bag while
you empty. Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag. Seal the bag tightly
and dispose of. Be careful not to pull the power trigger while the clear bin
is open for emptying. To close the clear bin: Push the bin base upwards until
the clear bin and bin base click into place.
Cleaning your bin
If it is necessary to clean your bin, empty the bin as shown in the ‘Emptying
your bin’ section. Press the red button located on the bin runner to release
the bin and slide the bin off the runner. Clean the bin with a damp cloth
only. Make sure that the bin and seals are completely dry before replacing.
To refit the bin, insert the spine onto the bin runner. Close the bin by
pushing the bin base upwards until the bin and bin base click into place. The
bin isn’t dishwasher safe and the use of detergents, polishes, or air
fresheners to clean the bin isn’t recommended as this may damage your machine.
Washing your filter
To always get the best performance from your machine, it is important to regularly clean the filters and check for blockages.
The LCD display will alert you when the filter unit needs washing. We recommend that you wash your filter at least once a month or when your machine alerts you.
Remove the filter unit by twisting it anti-clockwise. Gently pull it away from
the machine. Tap the filter unit gently, to remove any excess dust and debris
before
washing it.
Wash the filter unit in cold
water only. Wash the pleated paper element of the filter unit first; hold the
filter unit under a cold water tap with the foam element downwards and run
cold water over the pleated paper.
Wash the foam element of the filter unit next; hold the filter unit under a
cold water tap with the foam element downwards so that dirty water does not
contaminate the pleated paper element. Run cold water over the inside and
outside of the foam element and squeeze the foam gently to expel the dirt.
Repeat washing both parts of the filter unit until the water runs clear.
Gently shake the filter unit to remove any excess water and leave to drain
with the foam element end facing up. Leave the filter unit to dry completely
in a dry environment with good airflow, for a minimum of 24 hours.
Check that the filter unit is completely dry. To refit, position the filter
unit in place on the main body and twist clockwise until it clicks into place.
The filter unit may require more frequent washing if vacuuming fine dust or if
used mostly in Boost mode. Don’t put any part of your machine in a
dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave or near a naked
flame.
Washing your High Torque XL cleaner head
To maintain optimum performance, check and wash your brush bar regularly.
Make sure your machine is disconnected from the charger and take care not to
touch the trigger.
Don’t put your brush bar in
a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, microwave, or near a naked
flame. Only use cold water to wash your brush bar and don’t use any
detergents. Lift the red catch on the cleaner head to release the brush bar.
Slide the brush bar out of the cleaner head. Twist the end cap and remove it
from the brush bar. Don’t wash the end cap.
Hold your brush bar under cold tap water and gently rub to remove any lint or
dirt. Stand the brush bar upright and leave to dry completely. Make sure your
brush bar is completely dry before refitting.
The cleaner head housing is
not washable and should only be wiped over with a damp lint-free cloth.

Washing your tools
Don’t put any part of your machine in a dishwasher or use detergents, polishes
or air fresheners. Wash with cold tap water. Make sure your tool is completely
dry before using. Your mini-motorized tool is not washable. Wipe over with a
damp lint-free cloth.
Using your High Torque XL cleaner head
Your High Torque XL cleaner head has a slider control to adjust the suction of the cleaner head. To select the suction required, move the suction control slider on top of the cleaner head.
- Maximum suction for ground-in dust and debris For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard floors and heavily soiled carpets and rugs.
Suction for dust and debris For vacuuming lightly-soiled carpets, rugs and
hard flooring. For vacuuming large debris such as peanuts or rice.
–
Suction for deep pile carpets and delicate flooring For vacuuming deep pile
carpets or rugs and flooring where you experience greater resistance. For
vacuuming lightly soiled floors, and delicate flooring such as vinyl, parquet
and lino.
Looking for blockages
Your machine is fitted with an automatic cut-out. If any part becomes blocked, the machine may automatically cut out. The motor will pulse and the LCD screen will indicate that there is a blockage.
Be careful not to pull the power trigger while looking for blockages.
Make sure any blockages are clear and all parts are refitted before using your
machine.
Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages. Clearing blockages is not
covered by your guarantee.
If you can’t clear an obstruction from the cleaner head, you may need to
remove the brush bar. Use a coin to unlock the fastener, slide the brush bar
out of the cleaner head and remove the obstruction. Replace the brush bar and
securely tighten the fastener. Make sure it is fixed firmly before using your
machine. Your machine has carbon fiber brushes. Take care if coming into
contact with them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands
after
handling the brushes.
