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 completely
air-drying the filters before reinserting in the vacuum.
• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
• Check floor nozzle for blockages; clear blockages if required.
• Remove any string, carpet fibers, or hair that may be wrapped around the brushroll.
Vacuum lifts area rugs.
• Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
• Turn off the unit to disengage the brushroll and restart with the Power slider switch.
• Open the Suction Control slider on the floor nozzle to decrease suction power.
Brushroll does not spin.
• If Brushroll Indicator Light on the floor nozzle turns red, the brushroll has stopped spinning.
Immediately turn off and unplug vacuum and remove blockage. Re-plug the unit into an electrical
outlet and turn vacuum on.
• If Brushroll Indicator Light on the floor nozzle is green, the blockage has been successfully cleared. If
the light is still red, please contact customer service at 1-800-798-7398.
• Check to make sure the brushroll was replaced correctly if it had been removed.
• Ensure brushroll garage of the floor nozzle is closed completely.

of the dust cup on the floor nozzle until you hear a click. The unit will not run until the dust cup is

3. Check for blockages on the brushroll and remove all hair and carpet fibers.
