CLEANING THE FILTERS
Regularly rinse and reinstall the filters to maintain your vacuum's suction power.
To clean filters, rinse them with water only. Allow all filters to air-dry completely before reinstalling to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts.

DO NOT use soap when cleaning the filters. Use water only. The vacuum will not have suction if the post-motor filter is not installed. Ensure that all filters are installed before using.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
![]()
To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn off power and remove the Lithium ION Power Pack battery before servicing.
Vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction. Nozzle light is red.
(Refer to Checking for Blockages section for more information.)
- Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and completely air-drying the filters before reinserting in the vacuum.
- Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
- Check floor nozzle for blockages; clear blockages if required.

- Check connection between handheld vacuum and wand for blockages; clear blockages if required. If the issue persists, please contact Customer Service.

Vacuum lifts area rugs
- Make sure you are not engaging Boost mode as this can be too much suction for lighter rugs. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
- Turn off the unit to disengage the brushroll and restart with the power/selector switch.
Brushrolls do not spin
- Immediately turn off the vacuum. Remove any blockages before turning the vacuum back on. Make sure the handheld vacuum is tilted back far enough for the brushrolls to engage. If the brushrolls still do not spin, please contact Customer Service.
- If the floor nozzle has headlights and they are not illuminated, there is a connection issue between the handheld vacuum, wand, and nozzle. Try disconnecting and reattaching the pieces. If the headlights still do not illuminate, please contact Customer Service.
Vacuum turns off on its own

- Turn on the vacuum and check the battery indicator lights located on the handheld vacuum. If recharging is needed, make sure power is turned off before connecting to the charger.
- Empty dust cup and clean filters (see Emptying the Dust Cup and Cleaning the Filters section).
- Check wand, accessories, and inlet openings and remove any blockages.
