    Don't overfill it

    To maintain suction, keep an eye on the bin and empty it as soon as debris reaches the MAX marker.

  • Wash the filter regularly

    Wash the filters regularly

    Rinse under a cold tap until the water runs clear – you don't need any detergents. Squeeze out excess water and leave to dry on its side (at least 24 hours) before refitting.

  • Secure the charging dock

    Secure the charging dock

    Leave at least 1.2m between the floor and the lowest screw point. Make sure it's within easy reach of a power socket so the cable has some slack.

  • Clean awkward spaces

    Clean awkward spaces

    Remove the wand and connect your chosen tool directly to the inlet pipe to use the vacuum as a handheld.
