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.
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.
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. This machine is designed for use on hard floors. The brush bar on your machine can damage certain flooring. Some rug materials may 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.
