MAINTENANCE

NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

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, clear them from the
brushroll.
CLEANING THE SOFT ROLLER
Slide the Soft Roller access button forward to
release the Soft Roller.

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.
s h a r kc l e a n . c o m
Hand wash the Soft Roller as needed. Use only
water, and allow it to air-dry completely for at
least 24 hours. Reinsert the Soft Roller in the
front of the nozzle until it clicks into place.
1. DO NOT pull or carry vacuum cleaner by
the cord or use cord as a handle.
2. DO NOT unplug by pulling on the cord.
Grasp the plug, not the cord.

corners.
