IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT force into the outlet or try to modify to fit.

CHECKING FOR BLOCKAGES

CHECK HANDHELD      CHECK WAND

• Remove the wand from the handheld vacuum and check all dust cup intake openings.
• Detach the wand and check it for blockages.

CHECK CLEANER HEAD

• Detach the wand, then use the edge of a coin to open the three locks on the bottom of the cleaner head. Remove the cover, then tilt back the neck of the cleaner head and check the opening for blockages. Replace cover, pressing down firmly on all sides before turning locks clockwise to close.

CLEANER HEAD MAINTENANCE

Zero-M® technology actively removes hair wrap from your brush roll while you vacuum. If you run over a hard or sharp object or notice a noise change while vacuuming, check for blockages or objects caught in the brush roll.

NOTE: If any hair is wrapped around the brush roll, continue cleaning, using Carpet mode on a bare floor surface, a low-pile carpet, or a small area rug. This will allow ZERO-M technology to remove the hair wrap and send it to the dust cup. If some fibers remain wrapped around the brush roll after continued use, carefully remove them.

1. Using a coin, turn locks counterclockwise to open, then lift off the cover to access Brushroll.
2. Clear blockages from the airway.
3. Replace cover, pressing down firmly on all sides, including along the front, before turning locks clockwise to close.
