How to Clean and Maintain Your Cordless Vacuum

✔ When: After every use · Or when the dust cup reaches the fill line · A full dust cup reduces suction significantly
✔ How: Hold the vacuum over a trash bin · Press the dust cup release button · Allow contents to fall into the bin · Tap gently to dislodge stuck debris
✔ Tip: Empty outdoors or over a lined bin if you have allergies · Prevents fine particles from re-entering the room
✔ Frequency: After every use · More often in pet households or high-dust environments

✔ When: After every use · Especially after cleaning pet hair or long hair
✔ Anti-Tangle Design: The Viva Elite’s anti-tangle brush roll releases most hair cleanly · A quick check after each session is usually sufficient
✔ How: Turn the vacuum off and unplug · Inspect the brush roll · Remove any remaining hair or debris by hand or with scissors if needed
✔ Why It Matters: Hair wrapped around the brush roll reduces suction and can strain the motor · 30 seconds of maintenance prevents performance loss
✔ Signs It Needs Cleaning: Reduced suction on carpet · Brush roll spinning slower than usual · Visible hair buildup

✔ When: Monthly with regular use · More frequently in pet households or high-dust environments
✔ Step 1 — Remove: Remove the filter from the vacuum · Refer to the setup guide for filter location
✔ Step 2 — Rinse: Rinse under cold water · Gently squeeze to remove water · Do not wring or twist · Do not use soap or detergent
✔ Step 3 — Dry: Air dry completely for 24 hours · Place in a well-ventilated area · Do not use a dryer or direct heat
✔ Step 4 — Reinsert: Only reinsert when completely dry · A wet filter reduces suction and can damage the motor
✔ Signs It Needs Cleaning: Reduced suction · Visible dust buildup on filter surface · Musty smell during operation

✔ Suction: A clogged filter restricts airflow · Reduces suction significantly · Monthly cleaning maintains peak suction performance
✔ Filtration Quality: A clogged filter also reduces filtration quality · Fine particles that should be captured pass through · Clean filter = full 8-layer performance
✔ Lifespan: Washable filter lasts twice as long as traditional disposable filters · Monthly cleaning maintains this lifespan · No replacement cost

✔ After Each Use: Recharge after every session · Indicator light confirms charge status · Always ready for the next use
✔ Avoid Full Depletion: Do not store the battery fully depleted for extended periods · Damages battery cells over time · Recharge promptly after use
✔ Storage: If storing the vacuum for an extended period (weeks or months), charge to approximately 50% before storage · Recharge fully before next use
✔ Temperature: Store in a cool, dry location · Avoid extreme heat or cold · Do not leave in a hot car
✔ Indicator Light: Check the indicator light before each session · Confirms the battery is charged and ready

✔ Frequency: Monthly or as needed
✔ Method: Wipe exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth · Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners · Do not submerge in water
✔ Attachments: Wipe brush attachments with a damp cloth · Allow to dry before storage · Check for debris in attachment connection points

✔ Daily Storage: Store upright or on wall mount · Dry location · Attachments stored together to avoid loss
✔ Seasonal Storage: Clean thoroughly before storing · Charge battery to ~50% · Store in original packaging or a dry bag · Cool, dry location
✔ Do Not: Do not store tightly compressed · Do not store in a hot or humid environment · Do not store with a fully depleted battery
