Your vacuum counts and measures the size of dust particles as you clean.¹ The LCD screen shows what’s been sucked up, displaying real-time scientific proof of a deep clean.²

The particle count is available in all power modes and with all attachments. Like our clear bin filling with dust, you can see debris increase on-screen as you clean.

Settings menu

Control the settings on your machine using the selection button. To enter the settings menu, press and hold the button until the menu screen appears. Tap to scroll through the options available.

Particle count and graph

You can turn the measuring and counting of particles on and off. Turning off the particle count and graph will stop your machine automatically adjusting suction power.

Adjust reactive suction power sensitivity

Use the selection button to change how sensitive the particle count is. This will change how your machine automatically reacts to dust particles.

Exit settings menu

¹Tested to EN 60312-1:2017 CL5.1, CL5.2 and CL5.3 for hard floors, crevices and carpets in Boost mode.

²Quantity of dust displayed on-screen varies depending on usage.

As dust enters your vacuum, the particles are continuously counted and categorise in size from 10-500 microns (µm) and above. Real-time results are displayed in the particle count.

Yellow bar

10µm – particles as small as allergens and pollen

Orange bar

60µm – particles as small as microscopic dust and skin flakes

Pink bar

180µm – particles as small as dust mites and fine sand

Purple bar

500µm – particles as small as sugar and fleas¹

¹Particle sizes and densities vary. Examples shown may occur within one or more displayed size range. Some particles have a range including sizes smaller than 10µm, which may not be detected.

Automatic cut out

This machine is fitted with an automatic cut out. If any part becomes blocked, the machine may automatically cut out.

The display of your machine will alert you when simple maintenance steps are needed.

Power modes

The machine has three power modes for different tasks. The overall run time is displayed on the digital display screen in minutes and seconds and will vary between each of the three power modes.

Run time

The overall run time can increase and decrease depending on the power mode, floor type and tool being used. Any change to the run time can take up to 30 seconds to appear on the digital display.

Eco mode

Maximum run time for longer cleans all around your home.

Auto/Med mode

When the machine is placed on charge it enters an idle state, this reduces all power consumption ready for the next use. Due to this reduction in the power, when the machine is removed from charge and powered on for the first time it can display an incorrect run time. This is nothing to be concerned about. The machine will assess the charge capacity and current usage within 30 seconds, displaying the correct time on the digital display.

To achieve the maximum run time, the machine must first be calibrated. The machine should be fully charged approximately five times. Between charges, use the machine until it has no battery remaining.

Where you have additional click-in batteries, we recommend alternating and charging all click-in batteries regularly to prolong battery health.

Damp or musty

A damp or musty smell is caused when dust in the cyclone has come into contact with water.

It may not be a direct contact with water, for example when vacuuming pet hair that is slightly damp, this moisture will combine with the dust in the cyclone causing the smell.

Additionally the smell may occur if the filter goes back into the machine wet.

Wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth, without touching the connector end.

Make sure your tools are completely dry before using.
