Maintenance and care

Clearing clogs

Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a clog in the vacuum cleaner. If you notice a change in the sound of the motor or a reduction in the spinning action in the dirt container, check for a clog.

If there is no suction or if suction is reduced at the hose, follow these steps to check for and clear the clog:

1.Turn power switch off.

2.Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.

3.Check the pre-motor filter and clean as necessary (see cleaning your pre-motor filter on page 10).

4.Check the HEPA filter cartridge and replace if necessary (see replacing the HEPA filter cartridge on page 11).

5.Check to see if dirt container is full. Empty if needed.

6.Remove lower portion of dirt container. Clean the screen and check center tubes for dirt accumulation.

7.While dirt container is removed, check dirt inlet for clogs.

8.Remove the hose from the cleaner by pushing on the tab. Straighten the hose and check for a clog.

9.Check diverter area at back of machine for diverter position and clogs. When the hose wand is removed from the base, the diverter should be up to the right. If a clog is visible near the diverter, the plas- tic cover may be removed to clear the clog by removing the 3 screws as shown (9b).

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power switch off and discon- nect polarized plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
