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, check for clogs.

1.Turn power switch off. Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.

2.Empty dirt container.

3.Check upper tank for build up or clogs.

4.If you notice a clog in the upper tank, remove the inner cyclone (see section “cleaning the upper tank” on page xx.)

5.Grasp the hose and separate it from the hose wand base. Check for a clog in the base or in the hose itself.

6.Remove the Twist ‘n Snap hose from the vacuum by turning to the left. Straighten the hose and unclog with a long, narrow object such as a broom handle.

7.If the clog persists, follow the instructions for “checking the rotating floor brush and drive belt” on page xx and inspect the passageway for obstructions.

Cleaning the upper tank

1. Grasp the inner cyclone and twist to the left 2

until the locking tabs stop the rotation. Pull down from the upper tank to remove it.

2.Wipe out the inside of the upper tank and the inner cyclone with a damp cloth moistened with water or a mild cleaning solution.

3.The inner cyclone may be washed using a mild detergent. Be sure it is completely dry before reassembling or damage to your unit may result.

4.Once cleaning is complete, replace the inner cyclone by sliding it into the upper housing. Line up the inner cyclone by ensuring the tabs on the cyclone are positioned toward the front of the unit. Push the inner cyclone in and rotate it to the right until the locking tabs stop the rotation.

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, turn off vacuum cleaner and dis- connect power plug from electrical outlet.
