24 hours before first use and always keep it on charge when not used.
VACUUMING WITH CX8

and to ensure full cleaning performance.

BRUSHROLLCLEAN® FUNCTION
Use the BRUSHROLLCLEAN® function to keep the brush roll clean and
free from hair and fibres. For best results use the BRUSHROLLCLEAN®
function when CX8 is fully charged.

Place CX8 on a hard and flat surface. Do not use the BRUSHROLLCLEAN®
function on carpets.
Press the BRUSHROLLCLEAN® pedal with your foot while the cleaner is
on. Hold for 5 seconds until hairs and fibres are removed. There will be
a cutting noise during this process, this is normal. If hairs remain on the
brush roll, repeat the process.
The BRUSHROLLCLEAN® function is equipped with an overheating
protection. If the BRUSHROLLCLEAN® function has been used for more
than 30 seconds (constant or interrupted) it will deactivate the brush
roll and turn off the nozzle front lights. The vacuum cleaner can still be
used, even when the BRUSHROLLCLEAN® function is deactivated. To
reactivate the BRUSHROLLCLEAN® function, place CX8 on charge and
charge for 15 minutes.
