aintenance and Care
Clearing Clogs
1. Turn the power switch off and unplug
the vacuum from the electrical outlet.
2. Check the upper tank for build up or clogs.
3. If you notice dirt build up in the inner
cyclone, follow instruction on how to
clean the inner cyclone in page 10.
4. Check for a clog in the foot hose &
edge cleaning port, the wand or in
the hose.
NOTE: When the indicator reads
Red, there is a clog in the hose
which is diminishing suction
power. Remove the clog in the
hose to restore full suction power.
5. Remove the Twist ‘n Snap hose from
the vacuum by turning to the right.
Straighten the hose and unclog with
a long, narrow object.
6. If you notice debris or dirt clogged in the
foot hose, remove it by pulling it out.
7. If the clog persists, follow the instructions
for checking the rotating floor brush and
drive belt on page 14 and inspect the air
passageway for obstructions.
