How to reattach filter door

To reattach, align hinges (C) of cover with slots on sides of filter area.

Press door back into place.

Check brush roll chan- nels

Because your WindTunnel™ cleaner picks up so well, we strongly recom- mend you check for debris accumulation in the channels next to the brush roll when you check the filters. Removing this debris will help maintain you clean- er’s excellent pick up and suction. Remove debris as follows:

Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet.

Check for debris accumulation by removing bottom plate (Fig. 3-9) and looking in the channels next to the brush roll (Fig. 3-18).

Remove any accumulation.

Reposition bottom plate (Fig. 3-13).
