WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal injury. Unplug vacuum before cleaning or servicing.

My Air Lift™ won't turn on.

Always be sure to plug it in firmly. A Thermal Protector may have been activated—unplug and let vacuum cool for 30 min. If this doesn’t work, there may be no voltage in the wall plug. Check fuse or breaker in home. If there is a blown fuse or tripped breaker, replace fuse or reset breaker in home.

My Air Lift™ isn’t picking up well.

Be sure to empty if the dirt cup is full. You may have a clogged filter. Your filter should be rinsed every 4-6 uses. First, push the dirt cup release button then push the filter door release button and remove the filter. Rinse with clear warm water for two minutes. Let it dry for 24 hours before reinstalling it.

If your filter was dirty...

You may also have a clog in the system. Remove canister and check hose for a clog. Lay the upright flat and check hose for a clog. If found, remove the clog.

My Air Lift™ picks up well on hard floors, but not on carpet.

When you’re vacuuming, look to see if the brushroll is spinning. You should hear it. If you don’t, press the brushroll on/off button.

If your brushroll is not turning on...

The Motor Protection Sensor may have been activated by an obstruction. Unplug and remove the obstruction. Wait a few minutes (usually about 2-5, but can take up to 30) for the unit to reset itself, plug in and turn on.

Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service representative.

If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a service center prior to continuing use.
