WASHING THE FILTER UNIT

Check and wash the filter unit, according to the instructions, to maintain performance.

• Remove the filter unit by twisting counterclockwise to the open position. Gently pull away from the machine.
• Wash the inside of the filter unit first; hold it upright under the cold water tap and agitate using a rotating motion.

• Gently tap the filter unit to remove any excess water and leave to dry with the filter end down.
• Leave the filter unit to dry completely for a minimum of 24 hours.
• Check that the filter unit is completely dry.

BLOCKAGES – AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT

• This machine is fitted with an automatic cut-out.
• If any part becomes blocked the machine may automatically cut out. This will happen after the motor pulses a number of times (i.e switches on and off in quick succession) and the blockage indicator LED will illuminate.
• Leave to cool down before looking for blockages.
• Ensure the machine is disconnected from the charger before looking for blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Clear any blockage before restarting.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your warranty.

LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES

The motor will pulse and the blockage indicator LED will illuminate when there is a blockage. Please follow the instructions below to locate the blockage:

• Ensure the machine is disconnected from the charger before looking for blockages.
• Be careful not to pull the “ON” trigger.
• Do not operate while checking for blockages as doing so could result in personal injury.
• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• To check for blockages in the main body of the machine, remove the clear bin following the instructions in the cleaning the clear bin section and remove the blockage.
• If you cannot 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 secure it by tightening the fastener. Ensure it is fixed firmly before operating the machine.
• This 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.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your warranty.

CHARGING AND STORAGE

• This machine will switch “OFF” if the battery temperature is below 37.4°F (3°C). This is designed to protect the motor and battery. Do not charge the machine and then move it to an area with a temperature below 37.4°F (3°C) for storage purposes.
• To help prolong battery life, avoid recharging immediately after a full discharge.
• Allow to cool for a few minutes.
• Avoid using the machine with the battery flush to a surface. This will help it run cooler and prolong battery run time and life.
