TROUBLESHOOTING
Vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction.
• Ensure handle, hose, dust cup, and wand are all securely connected onto the unit.
• Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and completely
air-drying the filters before reinserting them in the vacuum.
• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
• Check wand, hose, hose connections, nozzle and accessories for blockages; clear blockages
if required.
• Check floor nozzle for blockages; clear blockages if required.
• Remove any string, carpet fibres, or hair that may be wrapped around the brushroll and
Soft Roller or trapped behind the Soft Roller.
Vacuum lifts rugs.
• Turn off vacuum, and move it away from any obstruction. Turn on vacuum and tilt handle
back to activate brushroll.
• Check that vacuum is in Extended Runtime mode and/or try Floor mode.
• Turn off the unit to disengage the brushroll and restart with the Power button.
Brushroll/Soft Roller does not spin.
• If Brushroll Indicator Light on the floor nozzle turns red, the brushroll and/or Soft Roller
have stopped spinning. Immediately turn off and remove battery from vacuum pod and
remove blockage before reconnecting and turning vacuum back on. If light turns green, the
blockage has been successfully cleared.
• If headlights are not illuminated, there is a connection issue between the hose, pod, wand,
and nozzle. Try disconnecting the pieces and then reconnecting them, sliding in each one
until it clicks securely into place. If the headlights still do not illuminate, please contact
Customer Service on 0800 682 0453.
Vacuum turns off on its own or will not turn on.
There are several possible reasons for the vacuum cleaner turning off on its own, including
blockages, battery issues, and overheating. If the vacuum cleaner turns off on its own, perform
the following steps:
1. Check battery indicator lights to see if battery needs to be recharged. If it does not need
charging, turn off the vacuum cleaner and remove battery.
2. Empty dust cup and clean filters.
3. Check wand, accessories, and inlet openings and remove any blockages.
4. Allow unit and battery to cool for at least 45 minutes, until it returns to room temperature.
5. Return battery to vacuum and press Power button.
Dust cup will not latch onto unit:
• The dust cup will not latch if the pod is not inserted properly onto the unit. Align the bottom
of pod onto the rails on the front of the neck of the floor nozzle. Slide pod down the rails until
it clicks into place.
Battery not charging.
• Batteries outside of optimal temperature range may not begin charging immediately. Move to
room temperature area and/or allow battery to cool before charging.
• Please review battery runtimes in the Operating the Vacuum section.
• When charging with the cradle, ensure battery is pressed all the way down onto cradle and
that charge indicator lights illuminate.
• Battery life expectancy is at least two years and comes with a two-year limited guarantee.

FIVE (5) YEAR LIMITED GUARANTEE
When a consumer buys a product in the UK, they get the benefit of legal rights relating to the quality of the product (your "statutory

we give you an additional manufacturer's guarantee of up to five years. (1 year as standard plus 4 years when you register) These terms
and conditions relate to our manufacturer's guarantee only – your statutory rights are unaffected. Please note that the 5 year guarantee
is available in all EU countries and in the UK if it stops being an EU country during the guarantee term.
The conditions below describe the prerequisites and scope of our guarantee. They do not affect your statutory rights or the obligations
of your retailer and your contract with them.
The Lithium-Ion Battery pack is not covered by the 5 year guarantee (see battery guarantee on next page)
