TROUBLESHOOTING

BATTERY REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL

This product uses a lithium-ion rechargeable and recyclable battery. When the battery no longer holds a charge, it should be removed from the vacuum and recycled. DO NOT incinerate or compost the battery.

When your lithium-ion battery needs to be replaced, dispose of it or recycle it in accordance with local ordinances or regulations. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the bin or in a municipal solid waste stream. Return spent battery to an authorized recycling center or to retailer for recycling. Contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

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

• Ensure handle, hose, dust cup, and wand are all securely connected. Detach and reattach until they all click securely into place.
• Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and completely air-drying the filters before reinserting them in the vacuum.
• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
• Check wand, hose, hose connections, nozzle, and accessories for blockages; clear blockages if required.
• Check floor nozzle for blockages; clear blockages if required.
• If any hair, string, or carpet fibers are wrapped around the brushroll, continue cleaning to allow the self-cleaning brushroll to remove them. If some hair or fibers remain wrapped around brushroll after continued use, open the brushroll cover on the bottom of the floor nozzle and carefully remove them.

Vacuum lifts rugs.

• Turn off vacuum, and move it away from any obstruction. Turn on vacuum and tilt handle back to activate brushroll.
• Check that vacuum is in Extended Runtime mode and/or try Floor mode.
• Turn off the unit to disengage the brushroll and restart with the Power button.

Brushrolls do not spin.

• If Brushroll Indicator Light on the floor nozzle turns red, the brushroll and/or Soft Roller have stopped spinning. Immediately turn off and remove battery from vacuum pod and remove blockage before reconnecting and turning vacuum back on. If light turns green, the blockage has been successfully cleared.
• If headlights are not illuminated, there is a connection issue between the hose, pod, wand, and nozzle. Try disconnecting the pieces and then reconnecting them, sliding in each one until it clicks securely into place.

Vacuum turns off on its own or will not turn on.

There are several possible reasons for the vacuum cleaner turning off on its own, including blockages, battery issues, and overheating. If the vacuum cleaner turns off on its own, perform the following steps:

1. Check battery indicator lights to see if battery needs to be recharged. If it does not need charging, turn off the vacuum cleaner and remove battery.
2. Empty dust cup and clean filters.
3. Check wand, accessories, and inlet openings and remove any blockages.
4. Allow unit and battery to cool for at least 45 minutes, until it returns to room temperature.
5. Return battery to vacuum and press Power button.

Dust cup will not latch onto unit

• The dust cup will not latch if the pod is not inserted properly onto the unit. Align the bottom of pod onto the rails on the front of the neck of the floor nozzle. Slide pod down the rails until it clicks into place.

Battery not charging.

• Batteries outside of optimal temperature range may not begin charging immediately. Move to room temperature area and/or allow battery to cool before charging.
• Please review battery runtimes in the Operating the Vacuum section.
• When charging with the cradle, ensure battery is pressed all the way down onto cradle and that charge indicator lights illuminate.
• Battery life expectancy is at least two years and batteries come with a two-year limited warranty.
• When charging with the cradle ensure the charger is inserted and then rotated to lock it into place. Battery will not charge unless the charger is locked into place.

Battery not inserting into vacuum.
