5.1 Powering On/Off

Press the power button on the handle to turn the vacuum on or off. The vacuum will start in its default cleaning mode.

5.2 360 Intelligent Nozzle for All-Direction Cleaning

5.3 Smart iQ Technology (iQ, Floor, and Edge Sensors)

The vacuum features Smart iQ Technology, which uses three sensors to optimize cleaning performance:

• iQ Sensor: Detects the amount of debris and automatically adjusts suction power. The iQ indicator lights on the handheld unit change color (green for low, yellow for medium, red for high) to visualize debris levels.

• Floor Sensor: Detects the floor type (e.g., hard floor, carpet) and automatically adjusts the brush roll speed for optimal cleaning.

• Edge Sensor: Detects walls and edges, increasing suction power by up to 2.5 times to thoroughly clean along baseboards and in corners.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Automatic Dust Collection

When the vacuum is placed on the automatic dust collection dock, it will automatically transfer collected debris from the vacuum's dust cup to the dock's larger dust bag. This reduces the frequency of manual dust disposal to approximately once a month, depending on usage and environment.

6.2 Emptying the Handheld Dust Cup (Manual)

If not using the automatic dock, or for quick emptying of the handheld unit, press the dust cup release button to open the bottom flap and empty debris directly into a trash bin.

2. To remove the dust cup, press the release button on the main unit and detach it.
