CLEANING FILTERS - Step 2
CLEAN HEPA FILTER EVERY YEAR

MAINTENANCE

Zero-M® Technology

Zero-M technology actively removes hair wrap from your brushroll while you vacuum. If you run over a hard or sharp object or notice a noise change while vacuuming, check for blockages or objects caught in the brushroll.

CLEANING THE BRUSHROLL

To open the brushroll garage, slide both release buttons on the floor nozzle away from you, towards the back of the nozzle, then lift off the lid.

Clear away any objects or debris.

To close the brushroll garage, insert the 3 tabs on top of the lid into the 3 slots in the nozzle, then push down on both sides of lid until it clicks securely into place.

warning NOTE: If any hair is wrapped around the brushroll, extending cleaning time will allow Zero-M technology to remove it for you. If some fibers remain wrapped around brushroll after continued use, carefully cut debris with scissors and remove it.

CLEANING THE SOFT ROLLER


To remove the Soft Roller from the nozzle, lift it out by the pull tab. Tap loose debris off the Soft Roller. Use a dry towel to wipe the Soft Roller clean, or to remove any debris caught in the teeth behind the Soft Roller.


Hand wash the Soft Roller as needed. Use only water, and let air-dry completely for at least 24 hours. Reinsert the Soft Roller under the rubber bumper in the front of the nozzle until it clicks into place.

CHECKING FOR BLOCKAGES


Detach hose from vacuum pod, and check hose and opening on back of pod for blockages.


Detach wand from floor nozzle and handle, and check both ends for blockages.


Detach wand from floor nozzle, tilt nozzle neck back, and check opening for blockages.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction.

  • Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and air-drying the filters before reinserting in the vacuum.
  • Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
  • Check hose, hose connections, nozzle, wand, pod, and accessories for blockages. Clear any blockages found.
    (Refer to Checking for Blockages section for more information.)
  • If any hair, string, or carpet fibers are wrapped around the brushroll, extend cleaning time to allow Zero-M® technology to remove them.
    • If some hair or fibers remain wrapped around brushroll after continued use, remove the brushroll garage lid and carefully cut debris with scissors and remove from brushroll. See Cleaning the Brushroll section for more information.
