WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn the power off and unplug the unit before servicing.
Hand washes with water only to prevent damage from cleaning chemicals. Allow ALL filters to dry completely before replacing them in the vacuum to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts.
IMPORTANT: Do not use soap when cleaning the filter.

The pre-motor filter simply pulls the black foam out from the frame. Rinse both filters and allow to air dry completely before replacing. Hand washes only. Replace foam back into the filter frame and make sure edges are tucked into the frame then insert back into a vacuum.

TIP: You can also check for blockages in the hose and airways. Just remove the floor nozzle, dust cap, and hose and shine a torch in the openings.
If you see any hair wrapped around the brush-roll, continue cleaning, using Carpet/Low Pile mode on hard floors.
This will allow Anti-Hair Wrap technology to remove the hair wrap and send it to the dust cup.

Anti-Hair Wrap Technology
Anti-Hair Wrap 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: Do not be alarmed if there is visible hair at any given time, as it will eventually make its way to the dust cup.

CLEANING THE BRUSH-ROLL

1. Use a coin to unlock the 3 locks on the bottom of the floor nozzle, a portion of the base is removable to allow for better access to the brush roll and exposure to the airway. Shine a torch from the bottom to check for possible blockage in the airway.

3. To reassemble, replace the base by lining it up along the front of the nozzle. Push down to snap into place.
   Lock the 3 locks.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn the power off and unplug the unit before servicing.
The vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction. (Refer to Maintenance section for more information.)

• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
• Check hose, hose connections, nozzle, and accessories for blockages; clear blockages if required.
• Remove any string, carpet fibers, or hair that may be wrapped around the brush-rolls.

Vacuum lifts area rugs.

• Turn off unit to disengage the brush-rolls. Move the switch to Hard Floor setting to turn on the slow brush-rolls, which is optimal for bare floors and area rugs.
• Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
• To minimize suction, refer to the Suction Control section for more information on how to use.

Brush-roll/soft roller does not spin.

  2. Empty dust cup and clean filters.
  3. Check for blockages in hose, accessories, and inlet openings.
  4. Remove cord from cord hook so hose latch can be seen and engaged.
