TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn off
power and unplug unit before servicing.
This vacuum nozzle is specifically designed to pull in all types of debris and therefore can give
the feeling of being self-propelled, especially on short carpets. If you'd like to feel less pull
forward when using, you can change the handle mode setting from Carpet/Low Pile to either
Hard Floor (for slower brush speed) or Thick Carpet/Area Rug (for less suction).
Vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction.
(Refer to Maintenance section for more information.)
•
Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and drying the filters
before reinserting in the vacuum.
•
