How to use your unit

Dry Vac

1. Attach the Gentle Clean MicroFiber pad onto the base of the unit. Begin by attaching the pad onto the Velcro on one side of the unit, wrapping it under the foot and attaching on the other side
   Tip: If the MicroFiber covers the vacuum suction path, the unit will not suction.
   
   
2. Turn the unit on.
   
3. With the Dry Vac side of the unit facing forward, begin cleaning. You will see dry dirt, crumbs and debris being collected in the Dirty Tank.
   
4. Check the filter frequently. If you see hair and fuzzy debris collecting on the filter, remove the dirty tank and dirty tank lid to clean the filter.
   To clean the filter, gently tap it on the edge of the trash can, brushing off anything that may be sticking to the filter. The filter can also be rinsed with warm water. Let air dry before inserting back into the unit.
   

Tip:
The MicroFiber pad should be placed in the areas directed. Covering the vacuum suction path will stop all suction.

Switching from Dry Vac to Wet Mop

1. To change from dry vacuuming to wet cleaning simply flip the unit around!
   

Tip:
When the trigger is squeezed the vacuum suction will stop; extending battery life.

Wet Mop

1. By squeezing the trigger, you will turn off the vacuum suction.
   
2. Water and Solution will flow to the 2 spray tips on the Wet Mop side. Gently mop the floor with the Gentle Clean MicroFiber pad. Depressing the trigger will dispense water and solution based on your cleaning job.
   Sticky, dirty areas may require more water and solution.
   Floor will need to air dry for 3-5 minutes.
   

Tip:
You do not have to empty the Dirty Tank before wet mopping.

Cleaning the Gentle Clean MicroFiber Pad
