Operation

The dusting brush can be slotted onto the active nozzle. The crevice tool is stored on board the product for easy access.

Press the button above the handle to turn the Multi on and off.

An active nozzle is built into your Multi. The dusting brush, crevice tool, and power brush all attach to the active nozzle.

5

Power brush

Make sure the terminals on the Power Brush and Active nozzle are correctly lined up and gently push the Power brush onto the Active nozzle. The battery should be removed when changing attachments.

Gently pull the Power Brush from the Multi to remove. The battery should be removed when changing attachments.

To clean the brush bar, first remove the power brush. Rotate the latch from the lock to the unlock position and pull out the brush bar.

To remove hair from the brush bar, run an open pair of scissors down the groove to cut the hair, then pull it out. Never operate the power brush without the brush bar in.

6

Battery charging

When a single green light flashes, recharge the battery.

The battery can be charged on or off the main unit

After 4 hours, the LEDs turn solid green and charging is complete.

It is OK to charge for 1 hour for a burst of cleaning.

7

State of Charge

100% – 75%                      75% – 50%

50% – 25%                          25% – 1%

The battery state of charge indicator shows how much charge the Multi has. As you use the product, the green lights will turn off in a downwards direction.

While the battery is on charge, the LEDs will pulsate and in turn illuminate. When the battery is fully charged all of the LEDs will be solid green.

8

Emptying the bin

There’s no latch, the bin just pulls off. It’s easier if you wiggle it as you pull it.

Hold the Multi’s bin over a rubbish bin and release the latch to empty the dirt. A gentle tap will help. Remove the filter and tap off the excess debris each time you empty the bin.

Cleaning the filter

Remove the filter by pulling it from the top of the bin. Tap the dirt from the filter and tip any dirt from the filter housing. Wash the filter if necessary.

Wash the filter under a tap, squeeze it out then let it dry completely before using it. Recommended water temp 40°C do not use any detergent. (You can buy more at www.gtech.co.uk)

If the suction is low when the bin is empty and filter is clean…
you have a blockage.

Remove the battery & bin and look through both ends of the tube. Remove any blockages.

The tools can block too, sometimes.

Removing the battery

Press the green buttons and pull to remove the battery. The battery can be charged on or off the main unit. If you want to buy a spare battery go to www.gtech.co.uk or call 01905 345891

Product Care

Your Gtech Multi doesn’t need much maintenance: keep the filter clean, check for blockages, remove hair from the brushbar and charge the battery. Wipe it with a dry cloth if it gets dirty, including the area under the bin. Never wash it with liquid, run it under a tap or use it without the filter.
