- For handheld use, attach desired accessories (crevice tool or 2-in-1 brush) directly to the main vacuum unit.
4.2 Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the vacuum cleaner. Connect the power adapter to the charging port on the main unit or the wall mount, then plug it into a power outlet. The charging indicator lights will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes several hours.
4.3 Wall Mount Installation (Optional)
The included wall mount allows for convenient storage and charging. Choose a suitable location near a power outlet. Secure the wall mount to the wall using appropriate screws and anchors (not included, depending on wall type). Once installed, the vacuum can be hung on the mount for storage and charging.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Power On/Off and Suction Modes
Press the power button on the main unit to turn the vacuum on. Press it again to cycle through the available suction modes (typically two speeds: standard and max). Press the power button a third time to turn the vacuum off.
5.2 Using the Green LED Headlight
The motorized floor brush features a green LED headlight that automatically illuminates when the vacuum is in operation. This light enhances visibility, making hidden dust, pet hair, and debris on various floor types more apparent, especially in dimly lit areas or under furniture.

5.3 Cleaning Different Surfaces
- Hard Floors and Low-Pile Carpets: Use the motorized floor brush for effective cleaning of dust, crumbs, and pet hair. The brush roll is designed to handle both hard surfaces and carpets.
- Corners and Edges: Attach the crevice tool directly to the main unit or extension wand to reach tight spaces, corners, and along baseboards.
- Upholstery and Delicate Surfaces: Use the 2-in-1 brush tool for cleaning furniture, curtains, and other delicate items. The brush attachment helps to gently dislodge dust.
- Under Furniture: The flexible design of the floor brush allows it to swivel and lie flat, enabling easy cleaning under low-lying furniture.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner.
6.1 Emptying the Dust Cup
Empty the 1-liter dust cup when the debris reaches the MAX fill line or after each use. To empty, detach the dust cup from the main unit (if applicable) and press the release button to open the bottom flap, allowing debris to fall into a waste bin.

6.2 Cleaning the HEPA Filter
The HEPA filter is washable and designed for 180-day maintenance. Remove the filter from the dust cup. Rinse it under cold running water until the water runs clear. Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it into the vacuum. Do not use a dryer or other heating devices to dry the filter.

6.3 Cleaning the Brush Roll
Periodically check the motorized floor brush for tangled hair or debris. To clean, turn off the vacuum and remove the brush roll cover (refer to product diagram for specific release mechanism). Carefully remove any tangled hair or fibers from the brush roll using scissors if necessary. Reassemble the brush roll and cover securely.
