Fully charge before first use

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 remaining run time.

How to use your machine

Understanding the three cleaning modes

  • High Torque cleaner head moving from hard floor to carpet

    Auto mode

    The optimum balance of power and run time. Your machine only adapts to different floor types when the High Torque cleaner head is attached.

  • Stubborn dirt brush tool cleaning carpet

    Boost mode

    Up to five minutes of run time. Designed for intensive cleaning on ground-in dirt.

  • High Torque cleaner head picking up debris from wooden floor

    Eco mode

    Maximum run time for longer cleans all around your home.

Choosing the right tool for the task

  • High Torque cleaner head

    Automatically adapts to different floor types when your machine is in Auto mode.

  • Mini motorised tool

    The motorised brush bar tackles hair and ground-in dirt in tight spaces, like your stairs or car. 

  • Soft roller cleaner head

    Engineered for hard floors. Sucks up fine dust and large debris simultaneously.

  • Crevice tool

    Tackles dust and allergens in hard-to-reach places, such as gaps and corners.

  • Combination tool

    Two tools in one, for versatile cleaning. Its stiff nylon bristles are tough enough to remove ground-in dirt. 

  • Soft dusting brush

    Designed for vacuum-assisted dusting. Soft bristles lift dust and allergens from delicate surfaces.

Maintaining your machine

  • Washing the filter

    There's a new way to wash the filter. See how to do it quickly and easily.

  • Checking for blockages

    If your machine displays the blockage light, check for any blockages in its airflow pathways. Watch how to do it.

  • Emptying the bin

    The 'point and shoot' bin emptying mechanism easily and hygienically ejects dirt. Watch how to do it.

Useful tips

  • Regularly wash the filter

    It's important to wash the filter regularly, to maintain optimum performance. You should do this once a month, or if the filter light continues to flash when the filter unit is fitted correctly.

  • Don't overfill it

    To maintain suction, keep an eye on the bin and empty it as soon as debris reaches the MAX marker.

  • Setting up your charging dock

    You can use the charging dock to store your machine, so it's always to hand and ready to go. See how to set it up.
