NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

THE SELF-CLEANING BRUSHROLL
If any hair is wrapped around the brushroll, continue vacuuming, using Carpet/Low Pile mode
on a bare floor surface, a low-pile carpet, or a small area rug. This will allow the self-cleaning
brushroll to remove the hair wrap and send it to the dust cup.
If you run over a hard or sharp object or notice a noise change while vacuuming, check for
blockages or objects caught in the brushroll.
If some fibers remain wrapped around the brushroll after continued use, open the brushroll
garage to remove them.
1 To open the brushroll garage, slide both release buttons on the floor nozzle away from you,
toward the back of the nozzle, then lift off the lid.
2 Clear away any objects or debris.
3 To close the brushroll garage, insert the 3 tabs on top of lid into the 3 slots in the nozzle, then
push down on both sides of lid until it clicks securely into place. If Brushroll Indicator Light is
green and headlights are flashing, check again that both sides of lid are locked in place.
