Occasionally the vacuum may become blocked
by a build up of debris and the Blockage
Indicator light will illuminate. It is important
to locate where the blockage is and carefully
remove it without causing damage to yourself,
the unit or anything else. Perform the
following steps to try to find the blockage.
Beware of sharp objects when clearing blockages.
Damages caused while clearing or attempting to clear
blockages are not covered under your product’s limited
warranty.
Replace parts securely before using again.
Blockages may cause your vacuum to overheat and
shut down. If so, clear the blockages, then follow the
instructions for Resetting the Motor Thermostat.

CLEANING THE VACUUM NOZZLE:
The rotating brush in the vacuum nozzle

over to inspect the bottom. If a build-up of
debris is wound around the rotating brush,
remove by carefully cutting with scissors.
Avoid damaging or cutting the bristles.
