CARE AND MAINTENANCE
EMPTYING THE DUST CUP
To maintain the best performance of
your vacuum, empty the dust cup after
every use or as debris approaches the
“MAX FILL” line. Never operate the
vacuum without the dust cup and filter
in place.
1 Turn off the vacuum before
removing the dust cup.
2 Press down on the dust cup
release button (fig. 5) and pull out
the dust cup.
3 Holding the carry handle, place
the dust cup inside a trash
receptacle and press the lower
dust cup door release button.
Gently tap the dust cup to
dislodge and release dust and
debris. (fig. 6)
Important: If the Dust Cup Door
does not swing open after press-
ing the release button, push the
door open using the bottom door
tabs.
4 Snap the door back in place.
5 If you notice hair or other debris
wrapped around the metal screen
in the upper chamber of the
dust cup, press the upper dust
cup door release to open the
top of the dust cup. Lift out the
metal screen, clear any debris and
replace. Snap the door back into
place. (fig. 7)
6 Replace the dust cup by first
seating the lower part of the dust
cup, then pushing in the top part
until it clicks. (fig. 8)
CAUTION: Remove the unit from
the charging stand before any
servicing.

CLEANING THE FILTER
Your vacuum has a high efficiency
dust cup to maintain strong suction by
preventing debris from collecting on
the filter. To maintain strong suction,
it is important to clean the foam filter
every month, under normal use.
1 Turn off the vacuum and remove
the dust cup.
2 Remove the foam filter (fig. 9) and
rinse under water until the water
runs clear. (fig. 10) Squeeze the
excess water out of the filter and
let it air dry for 24 hours before
replacing.
• DO NOT use a hair dryer or
other forced hot air to dry the
filter.
• DO NOT operate the vacuum
without the filter in place.
• DO NOT operate the vacuum
with a wet filter.
NOTE: It is normal for your foam filter
to discolor over time; it will not
affect the filter performance.

CLEANING THE MOTORIZED
BRUSH AND CLEARING
BLOCKAGES
An accumulation of hair, string, and
other debris may sometimes become
lodged in the flexible air hose of the
motorized brush, in the air inlet of
the dustcup or wrapped around the
brush roll. These areas must be free
from debris for maximum cleaning
performance. To clear blockages and
clean the brush roll:
1 Ensure the vacuum is off.
2 Press the release button located
on the rear of the main body and
remove the motorized brush.
(fig. 11)
3 To clear the air hose, flip back
the connector to straighten the
air passage (fig. 12) and carefully
remove any debris lodged in the
air hose. DO NOT USE SCISSORS
OR OTHER SHARP OBJECTS AS
THESE MAY DAMAGE THE HOSE.
