MAINTENANCE

NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

SELF-CLEANING BRUSHROLL
If any hair is wrapped around the brushroll, continue vacuuming, using setting II, Carpet 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, clear them from
the brushroll.
DEBRIS WRAPPED
AROUND BRUSHROLL
Clean off any debris on the brushroll.

CORD MAINTENANCE

To minimize the risk of power cord damage,
DO NOT run the vacuum over the power cord.
If this occurs, immediately shut off power to
the vacuum and remove the cord from the
brushroll or nozzle.
