• Do not pull or carry by cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION
Moving parts! To reduce the risk of personal injury, DO NOT touch the brush roll when the vacuum is on. Contacting the brush roll while it is rotating can cut, bruise, or cause other injuries. Always turn it off before servicing. Use caution when operating near children or pets.

USING YOUR VACUUM CLEANER

Before vacuuming, check that the brush roll is clear of any obstructions such as hair or sharp objects to avoid scratching floors and that the dust cup is empty.

NOTE:
Use the low-speed setting for cleaning hard floors, and low-pile rugs. The high-speed setting should be used for cleaning plush rugs and carpets or when additional cleaning power is required.

1. To start the vacuum cleaner, slide the power/speed switch to the LOW-speed position.
2. To increase the speed and performance of the vacuum cleaner, slide the power/ speed switch to the HIGH-speed position.
3. To stop the vacuum cleaner, place the power/speed switch in the OFF position.

NOTE:
When the vacuum cleaner is low on battery power, the battery charging indicator on the handle will flash. The flashing will continue until the unit is placed on the charging base or is completely out of battery power.

CLEANING WITH THE HAND VACUUM

Easily clean messes on furniture, upholstery, stairs, and other hard-to-reach areas with the included combination tool.

1. To remove the hand vacuum cleaner, press the hand vacuum release button and detach it from the main body.
   
2. To turn on the hand vacuum, press the power switch located on top of the handle. To turn it off, press the power switch located on top of the handle again.
   
   NOTE: When the hand vacuum is low on battery power, the battery charging indicator around the switch will flash. The flashing will continue until the unit is completely out of battery power. To charge, turn off the vacuum; place the hand vacuum into the main body, and place the whole unit onto the charger base.
3. To clean areas that are difficult to reach, use the accessories provided by inserting the end of the tool into the hand vacuum suction port.
   
4. The combination tool can be used as a crevice tool or a dusting brush. To transition from crevice tool to dusting brush, slide the brush to the top. Ensure it clicks into place to secure for operation.
   
5. To return the combination tool to the crevice function, slide the brush back into the bottom position. Ensure it is securely locked into place.

VACUUM MAINTENANCE AND CARE

CAUTION
To reduce the risk of an electric shock, remove the vacuum cleaner from the charging base, and ensure the machine is turned off before performing any maintenance.

EMPTYING DUST CUP AND CLEANING FILTER 

For best performance, empty the dust cup after every use. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without a dust cup and filter in place. Before emptying the dust cup, ensure the vacuum is turned off.

1. Remove the hand vacuum from the main body by pressing the hand vacuum release button and detaching the handheld unit from the main body.
   
2. Press the dust cup release button, lift the released end first, and pivot the dust cup downwards to detach the unit from the holding clip at the bottom of the unit. And then separate the dust cup from the hand vacuum body.
   
3. Remove the filter basket from the dust cup. Empty the contents into a waste bin.
   
   NOTE: The key to maximum performance is having a clean filter. Cleaning the filter frequently will help your vacuum cleaner operate at peak efficiency. An extra filter is provided with your vacuum cleaner to allow you to dry one filter properly while using the other. To purchase additional parts call 1-877-531- 7321 (US) / 1-844-608-3081 (CA).
4. Remove the filter from the filter basket. With a soft, dry brush, clean any accumulated debris from the side screens of the filter and the filter basket.
   
5. After repeated use, it may be necessary to wash the filter basket and filter. First brush loose debris from both basket and filter, then hand wash basket and filter in warm water. After washing, set aside and allow to air dry for 24 hours. IMPORTANT: The filter basket and filter must be completely dry before reuse.
   
6. Insert the clean, dry filter into the basket and fit the basket into the dust cup ensuring an air-tight seal is formed around the dust cup opening.
7. Reconnect the dust cup to the hand vacuum. To do so, position the locking tab on the handheld unit within the locking grove located on the bottom of the dust cup. Press the other end of the dust cup into position until you hear a ‘click’.
   

The motorized nozzle may accumulate debris such as strings, hair, and fibers. This type of debris can wrap around the brush and diminish its ability to clean effectively. The EASYCUT™ blade in the motorized nozzle will cut debris accumulation away from the brush roll. Recommended: After every use, clean the brush roll with the EASYCUT™ system by stepping on the button for 1-2 seconds as illustrated while the vacuum cleaner is operating. Repeat the above step more than 5 times for better performance.

Brush Roll Reset

If the brush roll is blocked or overloaded, the brush roll will stop turning and the LED lights on the nozzle will flash ten times and then turn off. The nozzle motor will turn off while the unit motor stays on. Switch the unit off and remove the obstruction to reset the brush roll.

Hose Blockage Removal

1. To clean out the hose, press the hose release tabs, as illustrated, and pull the motorized nozzle away from the main vacuum body.
   
2. Flex the connection hose to ensure you can see straight through the other end. If you can see any blockages in this area, carefully remove them.
   
3. Reattach the motorized nozzle onto the vacuum body. NOTE: Do not use scissors or other sharp objects to remove a blockage from the hose as these may damage the hose.
   WARNING This product contains the EASYCUT™ blade. Do not touch the blade when performing motorized brush maintenance.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Review the table for solutions to minor performance problems. Any service needed, other than maintenance described in this Use & Care Guide, should be performed by a qualified service dealer.

WARNING
Ensure the vacuum cleaner is turned off and removed from the charger base before performing maintenance on it. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
