Caring for your floors

• Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and free from any objects that may cause damage.
• Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs, and carpets, check the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions.
• The brush bar on your machine can damage certain flooring. Some rug materials may fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming without the motorised floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.

Charging your machine
