brush-roll 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 brush-roll.
If some fibers remain wrapped around the brush-roll after continued use, clear them from the brush-roll.

CLEANING THE SOFT ROLLER

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.

Brush-roll/soft roller does not spin.

• If a brush-roll Indicator light on the floor nozzle turns red, the brush-roll and/or soft roller have stopped spinning. Immediately turn off and unplug the vacuum. Disconnect the nozzle and remove a blockage, then reconnect and turn the vacuum back on.
• Once the blockage is removed, with the power on, step on the floor nozzle and tilt the handle back, The brush-rolls should then spin and cleaning can resume.

3. Check for blockages in hose, accessories, and inlet openings.
4. Allow the unit to cool for a minimum of 60 minutes.

1. Turn the vacuum off and unplug it.
2. Empty dust cup and clean filters.
3. Check for blockages in hose, accessories, and inlet openings.
4. Remove the cord from the cord hook so the hose latch can be seen and engaged.
