USING YOUR VACUUM CLEANER

Before vacuuming, check that the brushroll is clear from any obstructions such as hair or sharp objects to avoid scratching floors, and that the dust cup is empty.

3. Low Speed Setting: use when cleaning of hard floors and low pile rugs.
   High Speed Setting: use when cleaning plush rugs and carpets or when additional cleaning power is required.

VACUUM MAINTENANCE AND CARE

To reduce the risk of an electric shock, remove the vacuum cleaner from the charger, and ensure the vacuum is turned off before performing any maintenance.

Do not operate the vacuum cleaner without filters in place.

EMPTYING THE DUST CUP AND CLEANING THE HEPA MEDIA FILTER

For best performance, empty dust cup after every use or once dust reaches MAX fill line.
Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust cup and filter in place.

1. Ensure the vacuum is turned off.
2. Press the dust cup release buttons and remove the dust cup from the main body.
   
3. Lift up the filter handle to remove the filter basket from the dust cup. Empty the contents into a waste bin. Rinse the dust cup with water and wipe it dry.
   
4. Rotate the filter handle to remove the HEPA media filter from the filter basket. With a soft, dry brush, clean any accumulated debris from the filter and the filter basket. Rinse the filter basket with water and allow to air dry completely for 24 hours.
   
5. Wash the HEPA media filter if necessary. Hand wash in clean water. Allow to air dry completely for 24 hours.
   
   The filter and other parts must be completely dry before reuse.
   
6. Reinstall the clean, dry filter into the basket.
   
7. Fit the filter basket into the dust cup ensuring an air tight seal is formed around the dust cup opening.
   
8. Reinstall the dust cup into the vacuum until you hear a 'click'.
   

CLEANING THE MOTORIZED NOZZLE & BLOCKAGES

The motorized nozzle may accumulate debris (e.g., string, hair, fibers). Such debris can entangle the brushroll after longtime use, reducing cleaning efficacy. Prompt maintenance ensures optimal appliance performance.

1. Ensure the vacuum is turned off.
2. Lay the vacuum cleaner on the floor with the bottom up and the motorized nozzle flat.
3. Press the brushroll locking tab to unlock the brushroll.
   
4. Lift the brushroll out of the housing. Clean off debris and anything wrapped around the brushroll.
   
5. Reinstall the brushroll. Align the drive-side end first, then insert the opposite end.
   Confirm the brushroll will spin freely. Press down the locking tab to secure in place.
   

Brushroll Reset
If the brushroll is blocked or overloaded, the brushroll will stop turning and the LED lights on the nozzle will turn off. The nozzle motor will turn off while the unit motor stays on. Switch the unit off and remove the obstruction to reset the brushroll.

Hose Blockage Removal

1. Press the motorized nozzle release button, and pull the vacuum main body away from the motorized nozzle.
   
2. Bend the nozzle neck back to check for blockages. Carefully remove if any are found.
   NOTE: Do not use scissors or other sharp objects to remove blockages to avoid damage.
   
3. Reattach vacuum main body to the motorized nozzle.
