Please note:
• This machine is intended for domestic use only. Fine dust such as plaster dust or flour should only
be vacuumed in very small amounts.
• Do not use the machine to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper clips, etc. they may
damage the machine.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin
these are entirely harmless and are not associated with the electricity supply. to minimize any effect
from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into the clear bin unless you have first emptied
it and rinsed it out with cold water.
• Consult your flooring manufacturer's recommended instructions before vacuuming and caring for
your flooring, rugs, and carpet. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brushbar is used when
vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in bare floors mode and consulting with
your flooring manufacturer.
Hard floors or carpets
the brushbar will always default to 'on' (spinning) each time you switch on the machine and recline
it for cleaning. the brushbar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. if the brushbar stops
during use, please refer to the 'clearing brushbar obstructions' section.
To switch the brushbar off (e.g. for hard floors), recline the machine and turn it 'ON', then press the
brushbar 'ON/OFF' button – the brushbar will stop spinning.
