First-Time Use

Fully charge the battery before first use. The indicator light on the dock will show charging status.

  2. Power On: Press the POWER button on the handle to turn on the vacuum in Eco mode.
  3. Select Mode: Press the POWER button again to switch to Max mode for increased suction (reduces runtime).

CAUTION! Do not use on wet surfaces or to pick up liquids, large objects, or hot ashes.

Controls and Modes

Main controls are located on the handle. Status indicators are on the vacuum body.

Power/Mode Button: Press once to turn on in Eco mode (standard cleaning). Press again to switch to Max mode (high power for deep cleaning). Press a third time to turn the vacuum off.

Brushroll Indicator Light: A light on the vacuum body will flash if the brushroll becomes clogged or obstructed. Turn off the vacuum and clear the blockage.

Using Attachments

For cleaning upholstery, stairs, ceilings, and tight spaces.

  1. Turn off the vacuum.
  2. Press the wand release button and detach the main vacuum body from the floor nozzle.
  3. Attach the desired tool (Crevice Tool, Dusting Brush, or Upholstery Tool) directly to the handle or the end of the wand.
  4. Turn the vacuum back on to use the attachment. Suction is provided, but the motorized brushroll is not active in this configuration.
  5. When finished, turn off the vacuum, detach the tool, and reattach the floor nozzle until it clicks into place.

Tip: The dusting brush is ideal for delicate surfaces and fan blades. The crevice tool is perfect for corners and between cushions.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity.

  1. Empty the Dust Cup: Press the release button, remove the dust cup, and hold it over a trash can. Open the bottom lid to empty. Close the lid and reattach.
  2. Clean the Filter: Remove the foam and felt filter from the dust cup compartment. Rinse with cold water only. Let it air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling.
  3. Clear Brushroll Blockages: Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Flip it over and press the brushroll release levers. Remove the brushroll and clear any hair, strings, or debris. Reinstall the brushroll and ensure it spins freely.
  4. Check for Clogs: If suction is weak, check the dust cup, hose, wand, and nozzle for blockages.

WARNING! Do not use the vacuum without the filter installed. Do not immerse the main body, battery, or charger in water.

Battery & Charging

The removable battery charges on the docking station.

CAUTION! Use only the charger provided. Do not expose the battery to fire, extreme heat, or puncture it.

Care & Storage

Store the vacuum on its docking station in a dry, indoor area. Keep tools stored on the dock.

Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

CAUTION! Do not store the vacuum or battery in direct sunlight, near heaters, or in temperatures below 40°F or above 104°F.
