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 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.
Charging your machine clik Insert the charging cable into the charging point at the back of the vacuum, at the bottom of the handle. Plug the cable into a wall socket to begin charging. Fully charge your machine before your first use. Connect to charger either directly or in the dock. A full charge will take approximately 4.5 hours.
