• Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and drying the filters before re-inserting back into the
vacuum.
• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.

• Close the suction release on the handle to increase suction power.
Vacuum lifts area rugs
• Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges. Open the suction release on the
handle to decrease suction power.
