Filter Cleaning

Regularly clean the filters to ensure powerful suction and proper functioning of the Anti-Allergen Complete Seal with HEPA filtration system. Refer to your product manual for specific cleaning intervals and instructions for each filter type.

• Pre-Motor Filters (Foam & Felt): Rinse with water and air-dry completely before reinserting.

Troubleshooting

If your vacuum is not performing as expected, check the following common issues:

• No Power: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into an outlet and the power switch is ON.
• No Suction or Low Suction: Check if the dust cup is full and needs emptying. Inspect the hose and nozzles for blockages. Ensure all filters are clean and properly installed.
• Brushroll Not Spinning: Verify the surface setting is correct (CARPET mode for brushroll activation). Check the nozzle for any obstructions or hair wrap.
• Odor: Replace the Odor Neutralizer Technology cartridge. Clean all filters.
