FAQs
General questions:
How do I assemble my vacuum?
Connect the hose at the other end of the main handle, to the canister vacuum
pod.
Insert the handle into the top of the wand, making sure you hear and feel a
click to know the parts are secured.
Insert the bottom of the wand into the nozzle, making sure you hear and feel a
click to know the parts are secured.
Optional : Attach the accessory clip to the top of the wand for
additional accessory storage.
What if my vacuum is lifting area rugs?
Suction is powerful. Using the suction control slider on the handle, reduce suction to a lower suction level. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
How do I turn my vacuum off?
You can turn off your canister vacuum using the power button located on the canister pod.
How and when do I adjust the suction?
Using the suction slider on the handle, reduce suction levels on either floor type if you are finding difficulty pushing/pulling the vacuum.
What happens if I experience small static shocks while vacuuming?
Certain dry conditions in winter or dry desert areas may cause common static electricity to build up in the vacuum, producing small shocks, similar to what you might experience from contact with doorknobs, wool sweaters, or blankets. This is harmless. In order to avoid this, we recommend moisturizing your hands and/or removing wool socks or sweaters prior to vacuuming.

How do I use the different cleaning modes?
