REMOVING CLOGS
The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to
the dust bag through the airflow passages. The dust bag lets the air pass through, while it
traps the dirt.
For best cleaning results, keep
the airflow passage open. Check Upper
the starred areas occasionally
for clogs. Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner from outlet Lower
before checking. Wand_
Multi-surface
TO CHECK FOR CLOGS:
Check dust cup and empty if fuji. See
EMPTYING DUST CUP (page 16).

exhaust filter and clean/replace if dirty.
See PRE-FILTER CLEANING (page 17),
PRIMARY FILTER CLEANING (page 18)

Check multi-surface nozzle for any dirt
or debris in the belt path area or in the

Q-
If the vacuum cleaner still has poor
suction, do the following:
Connect the hose to the canister and
turn vacuum cleaner on. Check the end
of the hose for suction. If there is good
suction on the hose handle, there is no
clog in the hose. If the suction is bad,
remove any dirt or debris in the hose
and handle.
2. Connect hose handle to wand. Check
the end of the wand for suction, if
there is good suction at the end of the
wand, there is no clog in the wand. If
the suction is bad, remove any dirt or
debris in the wand.
3. Check multi-surface nozzle swivel.
Remove any dirt or debris.
CLEANING EXTERIOR AND ATTACHMENTS
1. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner. DO
NOT drip water on vacuum cleaner.
2. To clean exterior, or to reduce static elec-
tricity and dust build-up, wipe outer surface
of vacuum cleaner and attachments. Use a
clean, soft cloth that has been dipped in a
solution of mild liquid detergent and water,
then wrung dry. Wipe dry after cleaning.
_CAUTION
Do not use attachments if they are wet.
Attachments used in dirty areas, such as
under a refrigerator, should not be used
on other surfaces until they are washed.
They could leave marks.
