FAQs
How do I attach the floor nozzle?
Place the floor nozzle on a level surface, align the tube of the floor nozzle with the tube on the detachable canister and lower until you hear the two pieces click into place. When attaching the motorized floor brush, ensure that the latching mechanism is fully locked in place to ensure electrical connection has been made.
How do I clean the post-motor HEPA filter?
Remove the filter cover from the front of the vacuum by pulling up on the tab and pulling the cover away from the vacuum. Take out the HEPA filter by pulling it straight out, turn the filter over so that the dirty side is on the bottom and vigorously tap it clean against a trash can to remove any dust. Wash the filter under the tap using lukewarm water with the dirty side face down until the water runs clear. Allow the filter to air dry for 24 hours. Once the HEPA filter is dry, replace it back into the vacuum, and then replace the cover by inserting the two tabs into the holes at the top and then swinging the cover down until it clicks into place.
How do I clean the pre-motor filters?
Remove the dust cup, pull the two filters out from the top of the motor housing, rinse the filters thoroughly in lukewarm water until the water runs clear, squeeze out excess water and let air-dry for at least 24 hours before replacing. To replace, put the felt filter in first, then add the foam filter.
How do I detach the canister to clean “above floors” in Lift-Away mode?
From upright vacuum mode, first remove the cord in cord clip, depress the floor nozzle release button on bottom side of canister, gently step on floor nozzle as you hold the handle on top of the canister and lift it away.
