Maintenance
Emptying the Dust Cup
To empty the dust cup, detach the handheld unit from the wand. Position the dust cup over a trash receptacle and press the release button to open the bottom flap, allowing debris to fall out. Close the flap securely after emptying.
Cleaning the Brushrolls
The DuoClean Detect nozzle features anti-hair wrap technology to minimize hair tangles. Periodically inspect the brushrolls for any trapped debris or hair. If necessary, carefully remove any obstructions. Refer to the full owner's guide for detailed cleaning instructions.
Filter Maintenance
The vacuum is equipped with HEPA filtration. Regularly check and clean the filters to maintain optimal suction and air quality. Rinse filters with water and allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
Troubleshooting

- Loss of suction: Check the dust cup for fullness, clean filters, and inspect the nozzle and wand for blockages.
