3. Remove filter and tap firmly against the inside
of a waste container, removing any visible dirt.
4. Replace filter back into the dirt container and
attach dirt container to hand vacuum until it
snaps securely in place.

filter by washing it gently by hand in warm

Brush Roll maintenance
The brush roll 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 lift-Off 2-in-1 Cyclonic features two
specialized brush rolls which can be easily
changed to optimize cleaning on different
floor types. Use the multi-surface brush roll
for general cleaning on hard floor and area
rugs, or switch to the hardfloor brush roll for
improved cleaning on hard floor surfaces.
to remove the brush roll
1. Turn power OFF (O). Remove foot assembly
from unit and turn over to access the brush roll.
2. Use a coin to unlock the yellow locking tab
and lift up to free the brush.
3. To remove the brush roll, simply lift the brush
out of the brush chamber.
4. Clean as needed and replace, or switch the
brush as desired.
5. Place the clean brush roll back into the brush
chamber by aligning the non-belt side so it’s
seated within the nozzle, then pivot the belt side
down into position.
6. Replace the locking tab and use a coin to
lock in place. Attach the foot assembly back
to the unit.
