3This unit is equipped with a
precision charger that monitors
the batteries to ensure a full
charge for every use and to extend
the life of the batteries. Depending
on usage, the time for a full
charge is 3 to 6 hours.
4One half of the blue LED light
around the power button will
illuminate while the unit is
charging. When the charge is
complete, the complete oval will
be illuminated. (fig. 4)
If the charging light does not
illuminate, ensure that the
charging adapter is plugged
in properly to the wall outlet
and to the back of the charging
base. Also ensure that the
unit is properly seated in the
charging base.
ASSEMBLY
1Insert the vacuum body into the
motorised brush. (fig. 1a)
2Insert the handle pole into the top
of the main body. (fig. 1b)
3Use a screwdriver to secure the
handle assembly in place with the
bolt (taped to the handle during
shipping). (fig. 1c)
4Ensure that the dust cup is
securely in place. (fig. 1d)
CHARGING

MAXIMIZING THE LIFE OF YOUR
BATTERY
1To enhance battery life, this vacuum
is equipped with an advanced feature
that will shut off the vacuum when
the battery is almost fully discharged.
If the vacuum shuts off while in use,
charge the unit until the complete
oval around the power button is
illuminated, indicating a full charge.
2Charge the vacuum for 6 hours
before initial use. After initial use,
each recharge will take 3 to 6 hours.
A complete oval around the power
button will illuminate when the charge
is complete.
3The precision charger monitors the
batteries so you don’t have to. A
complete charge can take as little as
3 hours, but may take up to 6 hours
because the charger monitors battery
properties to extend battery life.
Leaving the unit in the charger past
the complete charge time will NOT
harm the batteries.
4If the vacuum has never been used
or has not been used for an extended
period of time, it will take 3 to 5
complete charge and run down cycles
to realize the full operational time of
the vacuum.
5Do not store or charge in areas of high
temperature or humidity.
6Use only the charge adapter supplied
with this unit, marked with “For
SV1100UK Models Only”. If other
chargers are used, the battery can fail
causing damage to the battery, to the
vacuum, or to personal property.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
EMPTYING THE DUST CUP
To maintain the best performance of
your vacuum, empty the dust cup after
every use or as debris approaches the
“MAX FILL” line. Never operate the
vacuum without the dust cup and filter
in place.
1Turn off the vacuum before
removing the dust cup.
2Press down on the dust cup
release button (fig. 5) and pull out
the dust cup.
3Holding the carry handle, place
the dust cup inside a trash
receptacle and press the lower
dust cup door release button.
Gently tap the dust cup to
dislodge and release dust and
debris. (fig. 6)
Important: If the Dust Cup Door
does not swing open after press-
ing the release button, push the
door open using the bottom door
tabs.
4Snap the door back in place.
5If you notice hair or other debris
wrapped around the metal screen
in the upper chamber of the

CLEANING THE FILTER
Your vacuum has a high efficiency
dust cup to maintain strong suction by
preventing debris from collecting on
the filter. To maintain strong suction,
it is important to clean the foam filter
every month, under normal use.
1Turn off the vacuum and remove
the dust cup.
2Remove the foam filter (fig. 9) and
rinse under water until the water
runs clear. (fig. 10) Squeeze the
excess water out of the filter and
let it air dry for 24 hours before
replacing.
 •DO NOT use a hair dryer or
other forced hot air to dry the
filter.
•DO NOT operate the vacuum
without the filter in place.
•DO NOT operate the vacuum
with a wet filter.
NOTE: It is normal for your foam filter
to discolor over time; it will not
affect the filter performance.

CLEANING THE MOTORISED
BRUSH AND CLEARING
BLOCKAGES
An accumulation of hair, string, and
other debris may sometimes become
lodged in the flexible air hose of the
motorised brush, in the air inlet of
the dustcup or wrapped around the
brush roll. These areas must be free
from debris for maximum cleaning
performance. To clear blockages and
clean the brush roll:
1Ensure the vacuum is off.
2Press the release button located
on the rear of the main body and
remove the motorised brush.
(fig. 11)
3To clear the air hose, flip back
the connector to straighten the
air passage (fig. 12) and carefully
remove any debris lodged in the
air hose. DO NOT USE SCISSORS
OR OTHER SHARP OBJECTS AS
THESE MAY DAMAGE THE HOSE.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE - cont.
4Inspect the rotating brush for
a build-up of debris. Remove
anything wound around the
brush by carefully cutting it
with scissors. The brush roll is
equipped with a raised cutting
guide to make inserting scissors
easier. Avoid damaging or cutting
the bristles. (fig. 13)
5Use a flashlight to inspect inside
the air duct at the bottom of the
main body and remove any debris
or blockages that may be there.
Reattach the motorised brush,
ensuring it clicks into place.
6Remove the dust cup and use the
flashlight to check the air path
on the spine of the vacuum and
remove any debris or blockages.
Then replace the dust cup.
BRUSH BAR REMOVAL
1For easier cleaning, the brush roll
can be removed from the nozzle.
Using a coin, turn the dial next to
the brush roll access door to the
unlock position. (fig. 14) Remove
the brush roll access door.
(fig. 15)
2Slip the black belt off of the white
gear and lift out the brush roll.
(fig. 16)
BRUSH BAR INSERTION
1To reinsert the brush roll, first slip
the black belt onto the white gear
(fig. 17a), then align the white
square on the opposite side of
the brush roll into the square slot.
(fig. 17b)
2Align the white square on the belt
side and position into its slot.
(fig. 18)
3Replace the door, inserting the
wheel side first. Use a coin to
move the dial to the lock position.
RESTARTING AFTER A JAM
If the indicator light around the power
button flashes, the brush bar has
jammed and will cease to operate.
1Turn the unit off and allow it to
cool down for 10 seconds.
2Ensure that nothing is blocking
the motorised brush or wrapped
around the brush bar.
3Turn the power on and the unit
should operate normally.
