Cleaning Modes & Techniques

Optimize cleaning based on surface and dirt level.

  1. Eco Mode: For light, everyday cleaning and extended runtime. Use on hard floors and low-pile carpets.
  2. Normal Mode: For general all-surface cleaning. Provides a balance of power and runtime.
  3. Max Mode: For deep cleaning high-traffic areas, thick carpets, or picking up heavy debris. Use sparingly to conserve battery.
  4. Floor Nozzle Technique: Use slow, overlapping passes. For carpets, activate brushroll. For hard floors, deactivate brushroll to avoid scattering debris.
  5. Emptying Dust Cup: Empty after each use or when the cup is half-full to maintain suction power.

WARNING! Do not vacuum up large, hard, or sharp objects (coins, paperclips) as they may damage the vacuum.

Maintenance & Care

Regular maintenance ensures peak performance and longevity.

After Each Use: Empty the dust cup. Check and clear the brushroll of any hair or fibers.

Weekly: Rinse the foam and felt filters (let dry completely for 24 hours before reinserting). Wipe the exterior with a dry cloth.

Monthly: Check the HEPA filter. Tap gently to remove dust. Replace every 6-12 months or as needed.

Brushroll Care: Use scissors to carefully cut and remove hair and threads wrapped around the brushroll. Ensure it spins freely.

Battery Care: For storage longer than 3 months, charge the battery to 50% and store in a cool, dry place.

CAUTION! Unplug the charger and ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly. Do not use damaged filters.
