Operation:
- Power Cable: Pull the power cable out, stopping when the yellow mark is visible. Avoid pulling past the red mark to prevent over-extension.

- Speed/Power Control: Adjust suction power using the speed/power control dial.
- Cable Rewind: After use, turn off the power, unplug from the mains, and push the rewind handle/button to retract the cable. Guide the cable with your hand to prevent whipping.

3. Tip the container upside down to empty contents.
4. Close the lid securely and click the dust container back into place on the vacuum.
- Recommendation: Empty the dust container regularly, especially when dust reaches the MAX indicator.
Cleaning the 1st HEPA Filter:
1. Carefully remove any obvious deposits of dust and hair from the filter.
2. Wash the filter in warm water.
3. Allow to air-dry naturally for 24 hours.

- Filter Cleaning Frequency: For light/less frequent use, clean filters at least twice a year. For frequent/heavy use, clean filters monthly.
- Important Filter Notes:
  - Dirty or clogged filters can reduce suction.
  - Never put wet filters back into the vacuum; ensure they are completely dry to prevent suction loss and motor damage.
