How to Use Your Vacuum

Upright Cleaning

For cleaning carpets and hard floors, use the vacuum in its upright mode. Press the power button to start the vacuum. For carpets, select the "Brush Roll On" setting. For hard floors, select the "Brush Roll Off" setting.

Lift-Away Cleaning

For cleaning stairs, furniture, and other above-floor areas, use the vacuum in its Lift-Away mode. Press the "Lift-Away" button to detach the canister from the floor nozzle. You can then carry the canister and use the handle and hose with the accessories to clean various surfaces.

Maintenance

Emptying the Dust Cup

Empty the dust cup after every use. To do this, press the dust cup release button and lift the dust cup off the vacuum. Hold the dust cup over a trash can and press the bottom release button to empty the contents.

Cleaning the Filters

Clean the pre-motor filters every 3 months and the post-motor filter once a year. To clean the pre-motor filters, remove the dust cup and take out the foam and felt filters. Rinse them with water and let them air dry completely before putting them back. To clean the post-motor filter, remove the filter cover on the front of the vacuum and take out the filter. Rinse it with water and let it air dry completely before putting it back.

Warning: Do not operate the vacuum without the filters in place. Do not use soap to clean the filters. Let the filters air dry completely before reinstalling.
