Removing Clogs

WARNING
Electrical shock and personal
injury hazard.
Always unplug power cord from
electrical outlet before performing
any service on vacuum cleaner.
Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock or personal injury
from vacuum cleaner suddenly
starting.
If you notice a loss in suction, first
check the filters as described on pages
15–17. If the filters are clean, there may
be a clog. The arrows show areas
where clogs are most likely to occur.
To check for clogs:
1. Release the wand from the vacuum
cleaner by pressing the wand release
button. Separate the wand and wand
handle by pressing the button on the
wand handle and check the wand and
handle for clogs.
2. Check the hose where it connects
to the handle by pressing the two
release buttons on the top end of
the hose.
3. Remove the dust bin and check the
dust bin inlet where it connects to the
vacuum cleaner body.
4. Check the vacuum port behind the
agitator.
5. Remove the wand and check the
hose where it attaches at the base by
turning the hose slightly to disengage
the lock tabs and lifting it up.
