CLEANING THE RINSABLE FILTER

Allow the filter to air dry for at least 24 hours.
IMPORTANT: The filter must be completely dry before replacing it. This may take between 24 and 48  hours. Check the inside of the filter for dampness before replacing it.

To replace the brush roll, loop the belt around the brush roll and push the roll back into place. Replace the nozzle guard and seven screws.
TIP: Rotate brush roll manually to ensure the belt is properly installed. The vacuum is equipped with an automatic brush roll shutoff in the event of overload or jam. Check for obstructions in the brush roll area and remove any obstructions. When obstructions are cleared, resume cleaning as normal.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, unplug before cleaning or servicing.

REMOVING SYSTEM CLOGS
If you are experiencing a loss of suction, or you notice debris is spitting out of the nozzle, we recommend checking the nozzle, tube, hose, and filters for any visible signs of blockage or built-up debris. It is also recommended to rinse your Filter if there is visible built-up dirt and dust on the filter. This should help improve performance on your vacuum.

THERMAL PROTECTION
A thermal protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates the cleaner will stop running.
If this happens proceed as follows:

1. Turn the cleaner OFF and unplug it.
2. Empty the dirt cup
3. Inspect the nozzle inlet, hose connector, hose, dirt cup inlet, cyclonic filter rinsable filter and exhaust filter for any obstructions. Clear obstructions if present.
4. When cleaner is de-energized and the motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector will deactivate and cleaning may continue. If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner needs servicing.
