Maintenance
Emptying the Dirt Tank
To maintain optimal suction, empty the dirt tank regularly, especially when debris reaches the 'Full' line. Press the tank release button to detach the tank, then open the bottom lid to empty contents into a trash bin. Close the lid and reattach the tank until it clicks.
FurGuard Self-Cleaning Brush Roll
The innovative FurGuard brush roll actively breaks up hair wrap during cleaning, minimizing manual hair removal. Periodically inspect the brush roll for any remaining debris and clear as needed.

HEPA Sealed Allergen System

Refer to the filter replacement instructions for your specific model to ensure continued filtration performance. Regularly check and clean or replace filters as recommended to maintain suction and air quality.

Troubleshooting
If your vacuum experiences issues, consult the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Loss of Suction: Check if the dirt tank is full and needs emptying. Inspect the hose and attachments for blockages. Ensure filters are clean and properly installed.
- Brush Roll Not Spinning: Verify the brush roll switch is in the 'ON' position for carpet cleaning. Check for any obstructions (e.g., hair, debris) wrapped around the brush roll and clear them.
- Unusual Noises: Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Inspect the brush roll, hose, and dirt tank for any foreign objects or blockages that might be causing the noise.
