OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
DOCKING STATION INSTALLATION

Your appliance will need to be fully charged before first use.
The docking station must be mounted in accordance with regulations and
applicable codes/standards (state and local laws may apply).

installing the docking station.
VACUUMING
•
Remove the appliance from the docking station.

Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and free from foreign
objects that may cause damage.
Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer's

The brush bar on the appliance can damage certain carpet types and floors. Some
carpets will 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.
