Operating Modes
1. Upright Mode
For general floor cleaning, use the vacuum in its upright configuration. The powerful brushroll effectively cleans carpets and hard floors. Adjust the surface setting as needed using the controls on the handle.
2. Lift-Away Mode
To clean stairs, upholstery, or other above-floor areas, press the 'Lift-Away' button to detach the canister from the nozzle. This allows for portable cleaning while maintaining powerful suction.

3. Wand Mode
Detach the handle from the wand or the wand from the nozzle to use with various accessories. This is ideal for reaching high areas, tight spaces, or cleaning delicate surfaces.
Suction Control
The vacuum features adjustable suction control, allowing you to reduce suction for delicate fabrics or increase it for stubborn debris. This control is typically located on the handle.
Surface Settings
Toggle between hard floor and carpet settings using the controls on the handle. This optimizes the brushroll speed for effective cleaning on different surfaces.
LED Headlights
The integrated LED headlights on the nozzle illuminate the cleaning path, making it easier to spot dust and debris under furniture or in dimly lit areas.

Maintenance
Emptying the Dust Cup
Empty the dust cup after each use or when debris reaches the MAX fill line. To empty, press the dust cup release latch and lift the dust cup away from the vacuum body. Hold the dust cup over a trash bin and press the bottom release latch to open the bottom flap and empty contents.
Cleaning Filters
Regularly clean the foam and felt filters located above the dust cup. Rinse them with cold water until the water runs clear, then allow them to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting. The HEPA filter, located at the bottom of the vacuum, should be cleaned annually by rinsing with cold water and allowing it to air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
- Vacuum not picking up debris or no suction: Check if the dust cup is full and empty it. Inspect filters for clogging and clean them. Check for blockages in the hose, wand, or nozzle.
- Brushroll not spinning: Ensure the vacuum is in the correct surface mode (carpet mode activates the brushroll). Check for blockages around the brushroll.
- Vacuum tips over easily: Ensure the canister is securely attached to the nozzle base in upright mode.
