Operating Instructions

Lift-Away Mode

To clean hard-to-reach areas, simply press the Lift-Away button to detach the main pod from the floor nozzle. This transforms the upright vacuum into a portable canister vacuum, ideal for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and high-up areas with the wand or hose.

Anti Hair Wrap Plus Technology

The Anti Hair Wrap Plus brushroll actively removes hair from itself as you clean, preventing tangles and maintaining optimal performance. This feature is particularly beneficial for homes with pets.

Anti-Allergen Complete Seal

The Anti-Allergen Complete Seal system traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, preventing them from being released back into the air. This provides a cleaner environment for allergy sufferers.

Maintenance

Emptying the Dust Cup

The XL 2.5L dust cup should be emptied regularly, ideally 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 waste bin and press the bottom release latch to open the bottom flap and empty contents. Close the flap securely before reattaching.

Cleaning Filters

Regularly clean the pre-motor and post-motor filters to maintain optimal suction. Rinse filters with cold water only. Allow filters to air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them to prevent damage to electronic components.

• Pre-Motor Filters (Foam & Felt): Clean every 3 months. Remove the dust cup, then pull out the foam and felt filters. Tap off loose dirt, then rinse thoroughly.
• Post-Motor HEPA Filter: Clean once a year. Located at the bottom of the vacuum. Remove the filter cover, then pull out the HEPA filter. Tap off loose dirt, then rinse thoroughly.

Brushroll Maintenance

While the Anti Hair Wrap Plus brushroll is designed to be self-cleaning, occasionally check for any debris or hair that may have become wrapped around it. If necessary, use scissors to carefully cut away any stubborn tangles. Ensure the vacuum is unplugged before performing any maintenance on the brushroll.
