Setup

1. Unpack the Vacuum: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts listed in the packaging contents are present.

3. Attach the Hose: Connect the flexible hose to the hose inlet port on the main body of the vacuum. Ensure it is firmly seated to prevent suction loss.
4. Store On-Board Tools: Place the crevice tool and dusting brush onto their designated storage clips on the vacuum.

The crevice tool and dusting brush are conveniently stored on the vacuum for easy access during cleaning tasks.

2. Power On: Step on the red power button located at the base of the vacuum to turn it on.
3. Recline the Handle: Gently step on the nozzle and pull the handle back to recline the vacuum into the operating position.
4. Cleaning Surfaces:
   • For Carpets: Move the vacuum slowly and steadily over the carpeted area. The multi-floor brush roll is designed to agitate carpet fibers for deep cleaning.
   • For Hard Floors: The multi-floor brush roll is also effective on hard floor surfaces. Move the vacuum as you would on carpet.
5. Using Attachments:
   • To use the extension wand and on-board tools, ensure the vacuum is upright and the power is off.
   • Detach the hose from the main vacuum body by pressing the release button and pulling.
   • Attach the desired tool (crevice tool or dusting brush) to the end of the hose or extension wand.
   • Turn the vacuum on and use the attachment to clean hard-to-reach areas, upholstery, or delicate surfaces.
6. Power Off: When finished, step on the power button to turn the vacuum off. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

The multi-floor brush roll efficiently cleans both hard floors and carpets.

The quick-release extension wand provides extended reach for cleaning elevated surfaces.
