New to your Advance Spectrum 12H / 12P? Start here
Set up, run and look after your Spectrum 12H or 12P, from Advance's instructions for use and the two model brochures, with the parts linked to the list above. Advance doesn't publish a use-and-care chart for the Spectrum, so the care steps come from the instructions for use.
1Put it together
- Take the vacuum out of its carton.
- Push the handle (AD107404752 / AD1470833500) into the opening at the top of the bag housing until the button snaps in.
- Loop the cord through the cord restraint. On the 12H, connect the pigtail (AD107403708) and the extension cord (AD107403709).
- Make sure a dust bag is in. A "no bag" clip keeps the dust lid from closing without one, and you should never run it without a bag.
Source: Advance Spectrum instructions for use 823 0102 020 edition E (2011), page 8. SES ref PF-QW2K-AOJX
2Start vacuuming
- Turn the lower cord hook (AD1470852500) to free the cord, and unwind all of it.
- Press the handle lock button and move the handle to a comfortable height.
- Run the cord through the hook and the anti-strain clip (AD0561014060), then plug it in.
- Turn the main power switch (AD1405496510) on: I is on, O is off.
- Step on the foot pedal (AD1470935500) and tilt the vacuum back. Always use the pedal to release the base, or you can damage the release mechanism.

3Set the brush height
- On these single-motor models the brush (AD1470930500) turns whenever the vacuum is on.
- Stand in front of the machine and turn the height adjustment knob.
- Turn it left to lower the brush for short carpet.
- Turn it right to raise the brush for longer carpet.

4Use the wand and tools
- Push the vacuum to its upright locked position. The brush lifts off the floor.
- Slide the wand (AD1470851500) out of its holder.
- The upholstery tool (AD1471205500) sits in the upper section behind the wand, and the crevice tool (AD1471203500) in the lower section.
- Fit a tool on the end of the wand, or take the hose (AD1470950500) off the wand and fit the tool there.

Advance Spectrum 12H / 12P maintenance schedule
Advance's maintenance schedule for the Spectrum 12H / 12P.
| Task | How often | Part |
|---|---|---|
| Unplug the power cord. | After every use | |
| If it wasn't cleaning well and the Restricted Airflow light was off, check the dust bag. Replace it if it is full and clean the bag housing if needed. | After every use | |
| Wind up the cord, starting at the machine end, and hang it on the hooks on the dust lid and the handle. | After every use | |
| Remove carpet fibers and debris from the brush (AD1470930500) and the brush housing. | After every use | |
| Store the vacuum indoors in a clean, dry place. | After every use | |
| Change the paper dust bag (AD107413584) whenever the Bag Full light comes on. Empty a reusable bag (AD1471059500) the same way. | As needed | |
| Clean or replace the motor pre-filter (AD1470960500) every fifth time you change the bag, more often in very dusty places. You can wash it in warm water: let it dry completely first. | As needed | |
| Replace the deodorizer pad in the pre-filter holder (AD1470958500) when it stops working. | As needed | |
| Clean the brush (AD1470930500) or replace it when it is worn. | As needed | |
| Replace the HEPA filter (AD1471250600) or the exhaust filter (AD1470966500) once or twice a year, depending on use. | Once a year | |
| The HEPA filter can't be cleaned or washed. Replace it when it clogs, and never touch the filter media. | Once a year | |
| Check the cord for damage, especially if it was crushed, shut in a door or run over. | Now and then | |
| Don't use the vacuum if the cord shows any damage. Replace it with the same type of cord the machine came with. | Now and then |

Can I vacuum wet carpet with the Spectrum 12H or 12P?
No. Advance says the Spectrum is for dry use only: don't use it on wet floors or carpet, outdoors, or to pick up water or other liquids.

Why is the Restricted Airflow light on on my Spectrum?
The bag is full, or the tube, hose or a tool is blocked. If it comes on before the bag is full, fine dust may be coating the bag, so change it, or debris may be stuck between the brush and the bag.

How often do I change the filters on a Spectrum 12P?
Clean or replace the motor pre-filter every fifth bag change, more often in dusty places. Replace the HEPA or exhaust filter once or twice a year. The HEPA filter can't be washed.
