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 nec-
essary (see cleaning your pre-motor filter on
page 11).
4. Check the HEPA media filter cartridge and
replace if necessary (see cleaning your
post-motor HEPA media filter on page 11).
Check to see if dirt container is full. Empty if
needed.
5. Check upper tank for build up or clogs. If you
notice a clog in the upper tank, remove the
inner cyclone (see cleaning the dirt container
on page 10.)
6. Grasp the hose wand and separate it from the
hose wand base. Check for a clog in the base,
the wand, or in the hose.
7. 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.
8. If the clog persists, follow the instructions for
checking the rotating floor brush and drive
belt on page 13 and inspect the air passage-
way for obstructions
If suction is normal in the hose, check for
and clear the clog for floor cleaning:
1.
Check the foot hose for clogs.
2. If you are not able to tell from the outside if a
clog is present, remove the screw at the top
left of the foot hose. Lay the foot hose flat and
unclog with a long, narrow object such as a
broom handle.
Remove any clogs found and fully
reassemble the cleaner before attempting to
check suction again or using the cleaner.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of injury
from moving parts, turn off
vacuum cleaner and dis-
connect power plug from
electrical outlet.
