Your V15 Detect counts and measures particles
showing you scientific proof of a deep clean.
Here's everything you need to know about the LCD screen.
What do the bars mean?
Each bar represents a different size range of dust and debris.
Most particles found in the home are microscopically small and not visible to the human eye.
10-60 microns. That's 1/10th of a human hair, includes particles such as pollen and other allergens.
60-180 microns. Includes particles like skin flakes and mould spores, another common allergen.
180-500 microns. That's the size of fine sand and dust mites.
Greater than 500 microns. The visible debris you can see in your home like sugar, or even fleas.
With normal use you can expect the smallest categories of Yellow and Orange to show the highest number of particles
as microscopic dust is more abundant than larger, visible debris.
How do you know when you’ve achieved a deep clean?
When the floor is dirty the bars will increase rapidly.
Dust levels vary by home and floor type.
This may cause surprising readings like more of one size of dust,
or frequent changes in suction power.
When your floor is clean, the count will remain visible
but the bars and numbers will stop rising so quickly.
Why is the count still rising after cleaning?
The count will continue to rise due to dust in the air, residual dust in the machine, or if debris exceeds the MAX fill line.
Are particles counted with tools?
Particles will be counted when using any of your tools and in any modes.
But suction power only adapts in Auto mode with motorised attachments.
Can you turn off particle count?
You might want to adjust how sensitive your vacuum is to changing dust levels.
To adjust sensitivity, press and hold the selection button.
Cycle to "Motor sensitivity".
Long press to enter the Motor Sensitivity menu and choose your sensitivity level.
Long press to confirm your selection.
Setting to "Low" means suction will only increase when high dust levels are detected.
Setting to "High" means suction will increase even when low dust levels are detected.
You can also switch off the particle count display.
Access the "Particle count" menu and select "Off".
This will switch off the particle count display.
How do you reset the particle count to zero?
There are three ways to do this, most simply by leaving the vacuum off for 10 minutes.
You can also put the machine on charge,
or remove and refit the battery.
Each time the particle graph will reset.
What else can the screen do?
The run time countdown will always be visible.
To change the screen display or access any other modes
simply press and hold the button, then cycle through the options you wish to change.
