Reattaching filter door
The filter door is designed with a “break-
away“ feature which allows it to snap
free if it is pushed open too far.
To reattach, align hinges (C) of cover
with slots on sides of filter area.

Check agitator shield
Because your cleaner picks up so well,
we strongly recommend you check for
debris accumulation under the agitator
shield each time you clean the filters.
Removing debris under the shield will
help maintain your cleaner’s excellent
pick up and suction. Remove debris as
follows:
1. Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
2. Check for dirt accumulation by
removing bottom plate (Fig. 3-10),
removing agitator (Fig. 3-11), and lifting
agitator shield (Fig. 3-13).
3. Remove any debris and replace
shield, agitator and bottom plate (Figs.
3-13 to 3-15).
