1. There are two power settings on the stick vac: Max mode (this has a higher suction power but a shorter running time, approx 15 mins) and Eco mode (lower suction power with a longer running time, approx 30 mins).
The stick vac will always start in Max mode. The run time may vary depending on the surface being cleaned.
2. For the ‘Max’ mode simply press the power button (B), while for ‘Eco’ mode press the power button (B) followed by the mode button (C). The Max mode light will illuminate when in ‘Max’ mode and go out when switched to 'Eco' mode. When required. press the power button (B) again to turn off the stick vac.

4. The stick vac has charge indicator lights (D), these are the two small lights on the handle.
While charging – the lower light will flash and the top light is off.
Half charged – the lower light is on and the top light will flash.
Fully charged – Both lights are on for around 10 minutes, then they will turn off. When in use and the battery is almost gone, the bottom light will be off and the top light will flash. After approximately 10 seconds the stick vac will automatically switch off.
5. It is advisable to empty the dust cup after each use. For best performance, check the filters are clean (see the ‘Removing and cleaning the dust cup and filters' section of this manual).
When changing the attachment ensure the stick vac is switched off.
The crevice tool (P) can fit directly onto the hand vacuum (E) for close up vacuuming and low level dusting and cleaning.
For high level cleaning the tools can fit on the end of the extension pole (G).

2. Press the dust cup removal button (N) located on the side of the main body near the bottom of the dust cup (O). Then pull the dust cup away from the main body, keeping the cup fairly upright.

6. Rinse the dust cup, filter assembly parts and circular sponge filter (Q) under warm until the water runs clear and leave to dry for 24 hours.
7. Once all the parts are thoroughly dry, reassemble the filter assembly (M) parts following the arrow and the icon for the locked padlock and place it back into the dust cup (O). Don’t forget to put the circular sponge filter (Q) back in the top of the filter assembly.

Push the dust cup b back towards the main body until you hear it click into place (2). Please note: Do not allow the dust cup to overfill. Don't exceed the MAX level marker. Empty regularly.
Note: It is important to regularly maintain and clean the filters. A clogged filter reduces suction power and can shorten the life of your stick vac.
Below is a recommended guide for how often you should clean the filters:
| FILTER TYPE | RECOMMENDED CLEANING TIMES |
|---|---|
| Filter assembly (M) |
|
| Circular sponge filter (Q) |

Before starting any cleaning, ensure the stick vac is not charging and is switched off and remove the floor nozzle from the rest of the stick vac.
If the roller brush becomes tangled during use, the automatic thermal cut out will shut off the stick vac. If that happens, please follow below steps.
1.Step on floor nozzle to lower handle. Turn vacuum face down on floor. Use scissors to clip heavy threads or strings.
2.If debris cannot be removed easily, locate the brushroll release tab on the right side and open the brushroll cover. Remove the brushroll and clear any tangled hair and remaining debris.
To reassemble:
Ensure the stick vac is not plugged into the main power supply and is switched off before dismantling the vac.
The stick vac would only become blocked of the dust cup has exceeded the 'Max' level, the filters are clogged up or a large object has been sucked up.
Your stick vac can be stored safely and securely by hanging from the wall mount (T) supplied with your product or by removing all the attachments and stowing together in a cupboard.
Either way will help avoid the product falling over and causing damage.
Always turn off and unplug from the mains supply before storing.
