Operating Instructions

Power and Floor Settings

The power switch is located on the main pod. Select the appropriate setting for your floor type:

• "0" Off: Turns the vacuum off.
• "I" Hard Floor: For bare floors and delicate area rugs. The brushroll will not spin in this mode.
• "II" Carpet: For carpets and area rugs. The brushroll will spin to deep-clean.

Using Lift-Away Mode

To clean above-floor areas, stairs, or under furniture, detach the pod from the nozzle:

1. Press the "Lift-Away" button on the main pod.
2. Lift the pod away from the floor nozzle.
3. Attach desired cleaning tools to the end of the hose or wand for versatile cleaning.

Using Attachments

The vacuum comes with various attachments for specialized cleaning. Connect them to the hose or wand as needed for tasks such as dusting, crevice cleaning, or pet hair removal from upholstery.

Maintenance

Emptying the Dust Cup

Empty the dust cup after each use or when debris reaches the MAX FILL line to maintain optimal suction.

1. Ensure the vacuum is unplugged from the power outlet.
2. Press the dust cup release latch and lift the dust cup off the pod.
3. Hold the dust cup over a trash bin and press the bottom release latch to empty the contents.
4. Close the bottom flap until it clicks securely.

Cleaning Filters

Regularly clean the pre-motor and post-motor (HEPA) filters to maintain optimal suction and filtration performance.

Pre-Motor Filters (Foam & Felt)

Rinse these filters every 3 months:

1. Remove the dust cup.
2. Pull the foam and felt filters out from the top of the motor housing.
3. Rinse thoroughly with water until the water runs clear.
4. Air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. Do not use a hairdryer.

Post-Motor HEPA Filter

Rinse this filter once a year:

1. Remove the filter cover located at the front of the pod.
2. Pull out the HEPA filter.
3. Rinse with water until the water runs clear.
4. Air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. Do not use a hairdryer.

Cleaning the Brushroll

The PowerFins HairPro Self-Cleaning Brushroll is designed to prevent hair wrap. If any debris remains, carefully remove it:

1. Ensure the vacuum is unplugged.
2. Use scissors to carefully cut away any hair or debris wrapped around the brushroll.
3. Remove any blockages from the nozzle air path.

Troubleshooting

• No Power: Check the power cord connection, wall outlet, and circuit breaker.
• Loss of Suction: Empty the dust cup, clean all filters, and check for blockages in the hose, nozzle, or attachments.
• Brushroll Not Spinning: Ensure the floor setting is on "II Carpet". Check for blockages in the brushroll or nozzle.
