Consult your flooring manufacturer's recommended instructions before vacuuming and
caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpet. The brush bar on the machine can damage
certain carpet types and floors. If unsure turn brush bar off in order to enable proper

happens, we recommend vacuuming in bare floors mode and consulting with your flooring
manufacturer.

When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin or
wand. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the electricity supply. To
minimize any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into the clear bin
unless you have first emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water (see cleaning the clear bin
section).
