CLEANING FILTERS

Regularly rinse and replace the filters to maintain your vacuum's suction power.
To clean filters, rinse with cold water only. Allow all filters to air-dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling
them to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use soap when cleaning the filters.

CLEANING THE SOFT ROLLER
NOTE: For best performance, keep the Soft Roller clean with regular maintenance.
If you notice any hair wrap, continue
vacuuming and the Self-Cleaning Brushroll
will automatically remove it. If some hair
wrap remains after continued use, remove
the brushroll cover from the bottom of the
nozzle and use scissors to carefully cut away
the hair.
To remove the cover, use a coin to turn the
locks counterclockwise. Lift off the cover
and remove any debris or hair wrap. Check
the Debris Intake and clear away any dirt or
blockages.
To close the cover, push down until it clicks
into place, then turn the locks clockwise
until closed.
1 To remove the Soft Roller, slide the Eject Roller
button on the floor nozzle.
2 Tap loose debris off the Soft Roller. Use a dry
towel to wipe it clean, and to remove any debris
caught in the teeth behind the Soft Roller.
3 Hand-wash the Soft Roller as needed. Use only
water, and let it air-dry completely for at least
24 hours.
