The carpet nozzle
roll may accumulate
debris such as strings,
hair and fibers.
This type of debris
can wrap around the
brush and diminish
its ability to clean effectively. The Easy-Cut
blade in the carpet nozzle will cut most debris
accumulation away from the brush roll.
After every use, clean the carpet brush roll
with the Easy-Cut system by stepping on the
button for 15 seconds as illustrated while the
brush roll is spinning.
