Product Care
Troubleshooting
Your Gtech sweeper doesn’t need much maintenance: empty the dust tray, remove hair
and bre from the brush bar and edge wheel and charge the battery. Wipe it with a dry
cloth if it gets dirty, including in and around the bin. Never wash it with liquid or run it
under a tap. Avoid cleaning over rug tassels or frayed carpets as this will tangle the brush
bar. The battery, drive belt, brush bar and side brush are all replaceable items.
If you nd you ever need to replace these items there is an FAQ section on our website at
www.gtech.co.uk
Sweeper is not cleaning well 1. Empty the bin.
2. Remove any build-up of hair from
brush bar and edge wheel.
Sweeper has stopped

If this doesn’t solve your problem don’t worry, we will help.

The ecocharge stand has an efcient standby function to top up the battery when
needed. If not being used the product can be left on the charging stand so it will always
