Setup

Your BLACK+DECKER Powerseries Lite vacuum can be assembled in three configurations:

1. Upright Stick Vacuum:
   Insert the extension wand into the main vacuum unit until it clicks into place. Then, attach the floor nozzle to the bottom of the main vacuum unit, ensuring it is securely fastened. This configuration is ideal for general floor cleaning.
2. Handheld Vacuum:
   Detach the extension wand and floor nozzle from the main vacuum unit. The main vacuum unit itself functions as a powerful handheld vacuum, perfect for quick clean-ups on furniture, stairs, or car interiors.
3. Handheld with Crevice Tool:
   While in handheld mode, attach the crevice tool directly to the nozzle of the main vacuum unit. This tool is designed for reaching tight spaces, corners, and crevices.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your vacuum cleaner.

• Emptying the Dust Cup: The dust cup has a capacity of 500 milliliters. For best suction performance, empty the dust cup regularly, especially when debris reaches the 'MAX' fill line. To empty, detach the dust cup from the main unit and open the bottom flap over a trash receptacle.
• Cleaning the HEPA Filter: The HEPA filter is located inside the dust cup. It is recommended to clean the filter after every few uses, or when you notice a decrease in suction. Tap the filter gently to remove loose dust. For a more thorough clean, the filter can be rinsed under cold water. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinserting it into the vacuum. Do not use detergents or hot water.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the vacuum with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
