Operating Instructions
Powering On and Mode Selection
To power on the vacuum, press the power button located on the handheld unit. The vacuum offers different power settings for various floor types:
- Bare Floor Mode: Ideal for hard floors, tiles, and delicate surfaces.
- Carpet Mode: Provides increased brushroll speed and suction for deep cleaning carpets.
The DuoClean PowerFins technology ensures continuous contact with all surfaces, digging deep into carpets and directly engaging hard floors for efficient dirt pickup.
MultiFLEX Technology
The MultiFLEX wand provides enhanced versatility:
- Under-Furniture Reach: Bend the wand to easily clean under low furniture without bending over.
This feature allows the vacuum to reach tight and low spaces, ensuring thorough cleaning throughout your home.
- Compact Storage: Fold the wand over for compact, freestanding storage, eliminating the need for wall mounts.
The folding design makes the vacuum easy to store in small spaces, such as closets or utility rooms.
Removable Hand Vacuum
The main unit detaches to become a lightweight handheld vacuum, perfect for above-floor cleaning. Attach the crevice tool or pet multi-tool for specialized cleaning tasks.
The removable handheld unit, combined with the wand, allows you to clean high areas like ceiling fans and curtains, or low areas like baseboards and car interiors.
LED Headlights
The floor nozzle is equipped with powerful LED headlights that illuminate hidden debris, making it easier to spot and clean dirt in dimly lit areas or under furniture.
These lights ensure no dirt or dust is missed, even in challenging lighting conditions.
Maintenance
Emptying the Dust Cup
The XL dust cup features a CleanTouch Dirt Ejector for easy and hygienic emptying. It is recommended to empty the dust cup after each use or when debris reaches the MAX FILL line.
- With the handheld vacuum detached, hold the dust cup over a trash bin.
- Press the release button to open the bottom of the dust cup and empty the contents.
- Close the dust cup until it clicks securely.
The design ensures you never have to touch the collected mess.
Cleaning the Brushroll
The self-cleaning brushroll is designed to prevent hair wrap. However, it is good practice to regularly check the brushroll for any tangled hair or debris and remove it if necessary.
The innovative design minimizes maintenance by actively removing hair during operation.
Filter Maintenance
The Anti-Allergen Complete Seal system with HEPA filtration captures and traps over 99.9% of dust and allergens. Regularly clean or replace the filters according to the user manual to maintain optimal suction and filtration performance.
Proper filter maintenance ensures clean air is emitted and allergens are effectively contained.
