2. Place the vacuum on the precision charger. Charge the unit for 6 hours before using the vacuum for the first time. (See diagram b)
3. This unit is equipped with a precision charger that monitors the batteries to ensure a full charge for every use and to extend the life of the batteries. Depending on usage, the time for a full charge is 4 to 6 hours.
4. The complete LED light around the power button will flash every 2 seconds while the unit is charging. (See diagram c) When the charge is complete, one half of the oval will flash every 2 seconds. (See diagram d)

If the charging light does not illuminate, ensure that the charging adapter is plugged in properly to the wall outlet and to the back of the precision charger. Also ensure that the unit is properly seated in the precision charger.

Operating Instructions

1. Place your foot lightly on the top of the motorized floor nozzle and tilt the handle back to release the unit from the locked upright position. (See diagram a)
2. Lightly press the power button on the motorized floor brush with your foot to turn the vacuum on to a high speed optimized for carpet cleaning (See diagram b). On this setting, the vacuum will run for approximately 12 minutes.
3. Press the button again to switch to a lower speed optimized for bare floor cleaning (See diagram c). On this setting the vacuum will run for approximately 17 minutes. The LED lights around the power button will indicate your speed.
4. Press the button again to turn the unit off.

IMPORTANT: The indicator light around the power button will flash if the brush roll stops due to a jam. This feature is designed to protect the Lifetime Belt that powers the brushroll. See "Restarting After a Jam" on page 20.

Emptying the Dust Cup

To maintain the best performance of your vacuum, empty the dust cup after every use or as debris approaches the "MAX FILL" line. Never operate the vacuum without the dust cup and filter in place.

1. Turn off the vacuum before removing the dust cup.
2. Press down on the dust cup release button (a) and pull out the dust cup.
3. Holding the carry handle, place the dust cup inside a trash receptacle and press the lower dust cup door release button. Gently tap the dust cup to dislodge and release dust and debris. (See diagram b)
4. Snap the door back in place.
5. If you notice hair or other debris wrapped around the metal screen in the upper chamber of the dust cup, press the upper dust cup door release to open the top of the dust cup. Lift out the metal screen, clear any debris and replace. Snap the door back into place. (See diagram c)
6. Replace the dust cup by first seating the lower part of the dust cup, then pushing in the top part until it clicks. (See diagram d)

CAUTION:

Remove the unit from the charging stand before any servicing.

Cleaning the Filter

Your vacuum has a high efficiency dust cup to maintain strong suction by preventing debris from collecting on the filter. To maintain strong suction, it is important to clean the foam filter every month, under normal use.

1. Turn off the vacuum and remove the dust cup.
2. Remove the foam filter (a) and rinse under water until the water runs clear. (b) Squeeze the excess water out of the filter and let it air dry for 24 hours before replacing.

DO NOT use a hair dryer or other forced hot air to dry the filter.

DO NOT operate the vacuum without the filter in place.

DO NOT operate the vacuum with a wet filter.

NOTE: It is normal for your foam filter to discolor over time; it will not affect the filter performance.

Cleaning the Motorized Floor Nozzle and Clearing Blockages

An accumulation of hair, string, and other debris may sometimes become lodged in the flexible air hose of the motorized floor nozzle, in the air inlet of the dustcup or wrapped around the brush roll. These areas must be free from debris for maximum cleaning performance. To clear blockages and clean the brush roll:

1. Ensure the vacuum is off.
2. Press the release button located on the rear of the main body and remove the motorized floor nozzle. (See diagram c)
3. To clear the air hose, flip back the connector to straighten the air passage (d) and carefully remove any debris lodged in the air hose. DO NOT USE SCISSORS OR OTHER SHARP OBJECTS AS THESE MAY DAMAGE THE HOSE.

1. Slip the black belt off of the white gear and lift out the brush roll. (See diagram h)

Brush Bar Insertion

2. Align the white square on the belt side and position into its slot. (See diagram k)
3. Replace the door, inserting the wheel side first. Use a coin to move the dial to the lock position.

Restarting After a Jam

If the indicator light around the power button flashes, the brush bar has jammed and will cease to operate.

1. Turn the unit off and allow it to cool down for 10 seconds.
2. Ensure that nothing is blocking the motorized brush or wrapped around the brush bar.
