Powering On/Off

• Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

Floor Type Adjustment

The vacuum features a 4-level height adjustment to optimize cleaning performance on different floor types.

3. Crevice Tool: Ideal for cleaning tight spaces, corners, and along edges.
4. Dusting Brush: Use for delicate surfaces, upholstery, and vents.
5. Extension Wand: Provides extended reach for high areas, ceilings, or under furniture.

The hose and attachments allow for cleaning upholstery and hard-to-reach areas.

Emptying the Dirt Cup

Filter Cleaning and Replacement

The vacuum uses washable foam and felt filters. Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining suction power.

1. Access Filters: With the dirt cup removed, locate the filters inside the cup assembly.
2. Wash Filters: Rinse the foam and felt filters under running water until the water runs clear. Do not use detergent.
3. Air Dry: Allow filters to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting them. Do not use a dryer or heat to speed up drying.

Brush Roll Cleaning

Periodically check the brush roll for tangled hair or debris that may reduce cleaning effectiveness.

• Power Off and Unplug: Always turn off and unplug the vacuum before inspecting or cleaning the brush roll.
• Access Brush Roll: Lay the vacuum flat and locate the brush roll cover on the bottom of the nozzle.
• Remove Debris: Use scissors to carefully cut away any tangled hair or threads from the brush roll. Be cautious of the moving belt.
• Reassemble: Ensure the brush roll spins freely before reattaching any covers.
