5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On and Off
To turn the vacuum cleaner on or off, press the power button located on the handheld unit.
5.2 Cleaning Modes
The LC150J features intelligent cleaning modes for various situations:
- iQ Mode (Standard): This mode automatically adjusts suction power based on the amount of detected debris, ensuring efficient cleaning. The iQ Sensor intelligently supports cleaning by optimizing power for different debris levels.
- Manual Boost Mode: For stubborn dirt or quick cleaning tasks, activate the manual boost mode. This provides maximum suction power. This mode is recommended for removing large debris or when you need to clean quickly.
