1Assemble the charging cradle (15) onto the
charging cradle base (20). Securely click it into
place.
Place the assembled charging cradle on a flat,
stable surface.
2Swing the upright handle (4) on the main vacuum
cleaner upwards until it clicks into place in an
upright position.
3Place the motorised floor brush (19) on a level
surface and align the connector on the neck of
the motorised floor brush with the connector hole
on the base of the main vacuum cleaner body (7).
Holding the neck of the motorised floor brush in
place, lower the main vacuum cleaner body onto
the motorised floor brush until you hear the two
pieces click into place.
When attaching the motorised floor brush, ensure
that the latching mechanism is fully locked in
place to ensure electrical connection is made.
4Fit the handheld vacuum cleaner (12) into the
cavity on the main vacuum cleaner body by firstly
sliding the suction end into place over the suction
hole in the main vacuum cleaner body cavity, then
push the handle end in to place until a click is
heard.
5With the handheld vacuum cleaner in place on the
main vacuum cleaner body, insert the vacuum
cleaner into the charging cradle, ensuring that the
lip on the rear of the main vacuum cleaner body
hooks onto the notch on the concave section of
the charging cradle.

Using in upright mode
1
Turn the product On by using either the upright
On/Off button (5) or the handheld vacuum
cleaner On/Off button (10).
The handheld vacuum cleaner power indicator
light (11) and the floor brush power indicator
light (18) will illuminate green.
NOTE: When the battery reduces to a pre-set
level the product will stop, the light will
extinguish and the product must be recharged.
2
If the motorised floor brush (19) is stalled, eg.
by a foreign object or if used on very deep pile
carpet, the floor nozzle indicator light will
extinguish. Switch off, remove the cause of the
stall, and leave for a few minutes to allow the
floor nozzle protection to self reset.
To clean the motorised floor brush, you must
remove the handheld vacuum cleaner as shown
in ‘Handheld vacuuming’, page 7. Then, press
the floor brush release button (17) and pull the
motorised floor brush away.
3
Turn the floor brush over to inspect the brush
bar.
Using a coin, turn the locking button on the
brush bar cover anti-clockwise from the
position to the position.
4
Remove the brush bar end cover and lift the
brush bar out. Pull away any hairs or fibres from
the brush bar. If they are tightly wound around
the brush, carefully snip the fibres with scissors,
being careful not to damage the rotating brush
bar, pull away from the rotating brush bar and
dispose of.
Charging
Connect the mains plug (21) into the mains supply.
Locate the vacuum cleaner on to the charging
cradle (15). The indicator light (11) will glow red
whilst charging and turn green when fully charged.
A full charge may take 5 hours.
When fully charged, the battery will stay charged
for many days, however, we recommend leaving the
cleaner continuously on trickle charge so the
batteries are always full.
