CLEANING FILTERS

Regularly rinse and replace the filters to maintain your vacuum’s suction power.
To prevent damage from cleaning chemicals, rinse filters with cold water only. Do not use soap. Allow all filters to air-dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them to prevent liquid from being drawn into electronic parts.

The Pre-Motor Filters should be washed once a month.

CHECK FLOOR NOZZLE:

Detach the wand, then tilt the floor nozzle Debris Intake back and check openings for blockages.

NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

SELF-CLEANING BRUSHROLL
If you run over a hard or sharp object or notice a noise change while vacuuming, check for
blockages or objects caught in the brushroll.

brushroll.

DEBRIS WRAPPED AROUND BRUSHROLL:

Clean off any debris on the brushroll.

DEBRIS BEHIND BRUSHROLL:

Check the Debris intake and clear away any dirt or blockages. To close the cover, push down until it clicks into place.

CORD MAINTENANCE

1. DO NOT pull or carry vacuum cleaner by the cord or use cord as a handle.
2. DO NOT unplug by pulling on the cord.
Grasp the plug, not the cord.
3. DO NOT close the door on the cord.
4. DO NOT pull the cord around sharp corners.
5. DO NOT leave the cord near heated surfaces.

To minimize the risk of power cord damage, DO NOT run the vacuum over the power cord.
If this occurs, immediately shut off power to the vacuum and remove the cord from the
brushroll or nozzle.

NOTE : For best performance, keep the Soft Roller clean with regular maintenance.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Power cord caught in brushroll or floor nozzle.

• To minimize the risk of power cord damage, DO NOT run the vacuum over the power cord. If this occurs, immediately shut off power to the vacuum and remove the cord from the brushroll or nozzle.
• Inspect power cord and plug for any damage before use. DO NOT use vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug. Turn off all controls before plugging in or unplugging the vacuum cleaner. Store your vacuum cleaner with the power cord secured around the two cord hooks.

Vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction. See Maintenance section for more information.

• Empty the dust cup. Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and completely air-drying the filters before reinstalling them.
• Clear any blockages in the nozzle, wand, handheld vacuum, or accessories. See Checking for Blockages section for more information.
• If any string, hair, or carpet fibers remain wrapped around the brushroll after continued use, carefully clear them away.
• Remove any blockages from the debris intake in the floor nozzle. Pinch the tabs on the bottom of the nozzle to open the cover, and lift up the intake tube. Clear blockages, then push the tube down and press the nozzle cover closed.

Vacuum lifts area rugs.

• Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
• Turn off the unit to disengage the brushroll. To restart, press the power button on the handle.

NOTE : Clean area rugs in Bare Floor mode or with accessories. See Available Accessories section.

Vacuum turns off on its own or the indicator light flashes red.

If your vacuum overheats, the thermostat will automatically turn off the motor. Perform the following steps to restart:

1. Turn off the vacuum and unplug it.
2. Empty the dust cup and clean the filters. See Emptying the Dust Cup and Cleaning Filters sections.
3. Check for blockages in the wand, floor nozzle, handheld vacuum, inlet openings, and accessories.
4. Reassemble the entire vacuum and ensure all parts click into place.
5. Allow unit to cool for a minimum of 60 minutes.
6. Plug in vacuum and turn it on.

Handheld vacuum is warm.

Due to the strong suction power of the vacuum, it is normal for the area around the filter exhaust to become warm during and after use. Turn off the vacuum and wait 10 minutes for it to cool down. If it still feels warm, clean the pre-motor and post-motor filters. See Maintenance section for filter cleaning instructions.
