The Soft Roller pulls in large particles, while the deep-cleaning bristle brush removes embedded fine dirt.

rugs.

MAINTENANCE
Empty dust cup after each use
TIP:
Wash filters to keep the suction strong.
Rinse filters and allow to air-dry completely. Tap loose dirt from foam
filters as needed between washes.
See enclosed Owner’s Guide for complete details on removing and cleaning
filters.
Brushroll garage for easy access to your brushrolls.
Open the brushroll lid by sliding both release buttons away from you, toward the back of the nozzle, then lifting off the lid. To close the brushroll lid, insert the 3 tabs on top of lid into the 3 slots in the nozzle, then push down on both sides of lid until it clicks securely into place. If headlights flash when the power is turned on, the brushroll lid is not completely secured, and the brushrolls will not engage and the vacuum will not operate.
Brushroll Maintenance.
Remove any string, hair, or debris that may be wrapped around the brushroll by running scissors along the guide on the brushroll.
Soft Roller Maintenance.
Lift out Soft Roller by the tab on the right side. Clean off any string, carpet fibers, or hair that may be wrapped around the Soft Roller. Remove debris from the roller housing. Reinsert the Soft Roller by sliding it into the front of the nozzle until it clicks into place.
HAVING TROUBLE?
ISSUE: Vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction.
Solution: Empty dust cup, clean filters, check all openings for blockages.
ISSUE: Vacuum lifts area rugs.
Solution: Turn off the unit to disengage the brushroll and restart with the Power button.
ISSUE: Brushroll and/or Soft Roller does not spin. The Brushroll Indicator Light on the floor nozzle turns red.
Solution: Turn off the unit and move away from any obstruction, then turn on power and tilt handle back. If the light remains red, turn off and unplug the vacuum. Disconnect the nozzle and remove any blockages. Make sure the brushroll lid is firmly locked into position on both sides. Plug in the vacuum, turn on power, and tilt handle back. If Brushroll Indicator Light isn’t green and headlights are flashing, check again that both sides of the lid are locked into place. If the light is still red, please contact customer service at 1-800-798-7398.
