the brush and brush ends of strings, hair
and carpet fibers. This type of debris can
wrap around the brush and hamper its
ability to effectively clean your carpet. Also
remove any debris that has accumulated
under the brush cover.
1. Unplug the vacuum from electrical outlet.
2. Place handle in low position and turn
vacuum cleaner over so bottom side is
facing up.

in order 2-4 marked. Lift off the brush
cover.

attention to brush ends.
