Setup
Unpacking and Assembly
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all listed accessories are present before beginning assembly. The vacuum includes a 10-foot long, 1.5-inch diameter hose, chrome curved wand, 2-piece chrome extension wand, floor nozzle-combination, crevice nozzle, brush nozzle, universal nozzle, washable filter, and aluminum extension tube.
Filter Installation
The washable filter is designed for both wet and dry use. For dry vacuuming, ensure the filter is clean and properly seated. For wet vacuuming, the filter should also be in place to protect the motor.
Hose and Accessory Attachment
Attach the hose securely to the inlet port on the vacuum. Connect the desired wand and nozzle (e.g., floor nozzle, crevice nozzle, brush nozzle) to the end of the hose for specific cleaning tasks. Ensure all connections are firm to maintain optimal suction.

Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off
Plug the vacuum into a standard 120V outlet. Locate the power switch on the unit and toggle it to the 'ON' position to begin operation. To turn off, toggle the switch to the 'OFF' position.
Dry Vacuuming
For dry debris, attach the appropriate nozzle (e.g., floor nozzle for large areas, crevice nozzle for tight spaces, brush nozzle for upholstery). Move the nozzle over the surface to be cleaned. The powerful suction will collect dust, dirt, and other dry particles.
Wet Vacuuming
For liquid spills, ensure the washable filter is correctly installed. Use the floor nozzle or universal nozzle to effectively pick up liquids. The vacuum is designed to handle wet messes efficiently.

Maintenance
Filter Cleaning and Replacement
The Attix 30 features a Push and Clean filter cleaning system. Refer to the specific instructions in your included assembly guide for detailed steps on how to activate this feature. Regularly inspect the washable filter for wear and tear. Clean the filter as needed by rinsing with water and allowing it to air dry completely before reinstallation. Replace the filter if it shows signs of damage or reduced performance.
Canister Emptying
Periodically empty the vacuum canister. Disconnect the power before opening the canister. Dispose of collected debris responsibly. For wet vacuuming, drain the liquid from the canister.
