2. Select the desired cleaning attachment (e.g., crevice tool, wide nozzle) and attach it to the other end of the hose.
3. For the blower function, attach the hose to the blower port located on the rear of the vacuum.

3. Filter Installation

The vacuum uses a dual filtration system, including a HEPA filter, for optimal performance.

1. Open the vacuum's lid by releasing the latches.
2. Ensure the HEPA filter is correctly seated over the filter cage.
3. For dry vacuuming, ensure the dry filter is in place. For wet vacuuming, remove the dry filter and ensure the foam filter (if applicable) is installed.

Operating Instructions

1. Wet Vacuuming

When vacuuming liquids, ensure the dry filter is removed and the foam filter (if provided) is installed. Do not overfill the tank.
