Solution: Empty dust cup, clean filters, check all openings for blockages.

ISSUE: Vacuum lifts area rugs.
Solution: Turn off the unit to disengage the brushrolls 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.

Filter Maintenance
Wash filters regularly to keep the suction strong.
Rinse filters with water only, and allow them to air-dry completely before reinstalling. Tap loose dirt from foam filters as needed between washes.
See enclosed Owner’s Guide for complete details on removing and cleaning filters.

Zero-M™ Technology

With Zero-M technology, the brushroll actively removes hair wrap while you vacuum, sending it to the dust cup. To clear any blockages, see instructions below.

Cleaning the Brushroll

1. To open the brushroll garage, slide both release buttons on the floor nozzle away from you, towards the back of the nozzle, then lift off the lid.
2. Clear away any objects or debris.
3. To close the brushroll garage, 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 Brushroll Indicator Light isn’t green and headlights are flashing, check again that both sides of lid are locked in place.
