It's important to wash the filter regularly, to maintain optimum performance. The screen will remind you when it's time to do this.

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.

Maintaining your machine
From clearing the brush bar to washing the filter, our quick guide will help you keep your machine working at its best.

-
Washing the filter
We recommend washing your filter once a month, for your vacuum to perform at its best. See how to do it quickly and easily.
-
Checking for blockages
Your machine will make a pulsing sound when there's a blockage. Watch the video to see how to find blockages.
-
Emptying the bin
The 'point and shoot' bin emptying mechanism easily and hygienically ejects dirt. See how to do it.
-
Detangling the brush bar
Clearing wrapped hair and fibres relieves unnecessary strain on your machine’s motor – restoring full power. Watch how.
-
-
Charging your machine's battery
If your machine has a red catch on the battery, you can charge your battery on or off your machine, in or outside of the dock.
Fully charge your batteries
It's important to fully charge all click-in batteries as soon as you open the box, and after every clean. The battery and monitoring system's algorithm 'learns' over time, and fully charging your batteries helps it to more accurately calculate and display remaining run time.
How to swap your click-in battery
To swap your battery, press the red battery release button and pull the battery away from the handle. Then replace it with an additional click-in battery1. We recommend alternating and charging all click-in batteries regularly to prolong battery health.

Frequently asked questions
The screen on your machine will remind you when it's time to clean your filter. This will usually be around once a month, but may be more frequent if you use your machine heavily. After cleaning your filter, always leave it to dry for at least 24 hours. Ensure it's completely dry before refitting on your machine. We strongly recommend following the cleaning instructions and cleaning by hand. The filter is not suitable for dishwasher use.
A full charge takes up to 4.5 hours.
We recommend fully charging a spare battery soon after purchase1, and alternating batteries regularly to prolong battery health.
The battery is designed to be left on charge permanently, and this will ensure that the vacuum is fully charged when it's next used. Once the battery is fully charged, your machine won't use any more electricity.
We recommend fully charging your machine after every clean. This helps your vacuum's battery and monitoring system's algorithm to more accurately calculate and display remaining run time.
