Troubleshooting Guide

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn power off and unplug unit before servicing.

Vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction:

• Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and drying.
• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
• Check hose, hose connections, nozzles, and accessories for blockages; clear if required.
• Remove any string, carpet fibres, or hair wrapped around the brush-roll.

Vacuum lifts area rugs:

• Turn off the unit to disengage the brush-roll and restart with the POWER button for suction-only cleaning.
• Suction is powerful; take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
• Turn off the unit, disengage the area rug from the brush-roll, and restart the unit.

Brush-roll does not spin:

• If the brush-roll indicator light turns red, the brush-roll has stopped spinning. Immediately turn off and unplug the vacuum, disconnect the nozzle, and remove any blockage before reconnecting and turning the vacuum back on.
• Pull the handle toward you and release the floor nozzle to disengage the auto-off feature.
• Immediately turn off and unplug the vacuum, disconnect the nozzle, and remove any blockage before reconnecting and turning the vacuum back on.
