MAINTENANCE
NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
THE SELF-CLEANING BRUSHROLL
If any hair is wrapped around the brushroll, continue vacuuming, using Carpet/Low Pile mode on a bare floor surface, a low-pile carpet, or a small area rug. This will allow the self-cleaning brushroll to remove the hair wrap and send it to the dust cup.
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.
If some fibers remain wrapped around the brushroll after continued use, open the brushroll garage to remove them.
- To open the brushroll garage, slide both release buttons on the floor nozzle away from you, toward 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 lid into the 3 slots in the nozzle, then push down on both sides of lid until it clicks securely into place. If Brushroll Indicator Light is green and headlights are flashing, check again that both sides of lid are locked in place.
CLEANING THE BRUSHROLL

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 the lid until it clicks securely into place.
CLEANING THE SOFT ROLLER
First, remove the brushroll garage lid. 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.

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 reinstalling them.
- 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 the self-cleaning brushroll to remove them.
- If some hair or fibers remain wrapped around brushroll after continued use, take off the brushroll garage lid and carefully remove them. See Cleaning the Brushroll section for more information.
Vacuum lifts area rugs.
- Make sure Surface Selector switch is set to Hard Floor.
- Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
Brushrolls do not spin.
- If the Brushroll Indicator Light turns red, immediately turn off and unplug the vacuum. Remove pod and wand from floor nozzle and clear any blockages. Reconnect nozzle, plug in vacuum, and turn on power.
- With the power on, recline the handle, which will automatically turn on the brushrolls.
- If the brushroll indicator light is green and the headlights are flashing, the brushroll garage lid is not properly installed. Remove the lid by sliding the two release buttons on the floor nozzle. To reinstall, insert the 3 tabs into the 3 slots in the nozzle, then firmly push down on both sides of the lid until it clicks securely into place.
Vacuum turns off on its own or indicator light flashes red.
