Operating the Vacuum
Power On/Off and Mode Selection
Press the power button on the handheld unit to turn the vacuum on or off. The vacuum features FloorDetect Technology, which automatically adjusts brushroll speed based on the floor type (hard floor or carpet) for optimized cleaning performance. No manual mode switching is required.
Dirt-Reveal Technology and LED Headlights
The integrated LED headlights on the floor nozzle illuminate hidden dust and debris, ensuring no spot is missed during cleaning, especially in dimly lit areas.

FloorDetect Technology
This technology automatically senses the floor type and adjusts the brushroll speed to provide optimal cleaning on both hard floors and carpets without the need to change nozzles or settings.

Using as a Handheld Vacuum and Attachments

- Upholstery Tool: Ideal for removing pet hair and debris from furniture, cushions, and other upholstered surfaces.
- 8-inch Crevice Tool: Perfect for cleaning tight spaces, corners, edges, and hard-to-reach areas like between couch cushions or along baseboards.

Maintenance
Emptying the Dust Cup
Empty the dust cup after each use or when debris reaches the MAX fill line. To empty, detach the handheld unit, position it over a trash bin, and slide the CleanTouch Dirt Ejector button to release the bottom flap. This allows for effortless debris disposal without direct contact.

Cleaning Filters
Regularly clean the pre-motor and post-motor (HEPA) filters to maintain optimal suction and filtration performance. Rinse pre-motor filters with cold water at least once a month and the HEPA filter once a year. Allow all filters to air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling.
The Anti-Allergen Complete Seal system, combined with the HEPA filter, traps over 99.97% of dust and allergens, preventing them from re-entering the air.

Cleaning the PowerFins Brushroll
The PowerFins brushroll is designed for self-cleaning to prevent hair wrap. Periodically inspect the brushroll for any debris or blockages and remove them as necessary. The unique design ensures continuous contact with floors for deep cleaning.
