- Hard Floor: For bare floors and delicate area rugs. The brush-rolls spin slowly.

LED Headlights: The integrated LED headlights illuminate hidden dust and debris, making it easier to spot and clean.
Anti Hair Wrap Technology
The Anti Hair Wrap technology actively removes hair from the brush-roll as you clean, preventing hair from getting tangled. This feature is ideal for homes with long hair or pet hair.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance of your vacuum cleaner.
Emptying the Dust Cup
Empty the dust cup after each use or when debris reaches the MAX fill line. To empty:
- Press the dust cup release latch and lift the dust cup off the vacuum pod.
- Hold the dust cup over a trash bin and press the bottom release latch to open the bottom of the dust cup.
- Tap gently to remove contents. Close the bottom lid until it clicks.
Cleaning Filters
Rinse the pre-motor filters (foam and felt) every 3 months, or as needed. Rinse the post-motor HEPA filter once a year, or as needed. Allow all filters to air-dry completely before reinstalling.
Anti-Allergen Complete Seal: This system captures and traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, preventing them from being released back into the air. Regular filter maintenance is crucial for this system's effectiveness.
Cleaning Brush-rolls
The Anti Hair Wrap technology minimizes hair tangles, but occasional inspection and cleaning of the brush-rolls may be necessary. Remove any debris or blockages from the brush-rolls and soft roller.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Vacuum not picking up debris or suction is low. | Dust cup is full; filters need cleaning; blockage in nozzle, hose, or wand. | Empty dust cup; clean filters; check for and remove blockages. |
| Brush-rolls not spinning. | Floor nozzle is clogged; brush-roll garage is obstructed; vacuum is in Hard Floor mode. | Clear any blockages from the nozzle; ensure brush-roll garage is clear; switch to Carpet mode for brush-roll activation. |
