Maintenance & Care
Cleaning the pre-motor filter
& replacing the post-motor filter
1.
Unplug the vacuum from electrical outlet.

The pre-motor filter protects the motor
from dirt particles. It is located in the slide out
tray underneath the dirt container. If the filter
becomes dirty, pull out the tray, lift out the
foam filter pad and clean it.
NOTE: The pre-motor filter may be hand
washed in water with mild detergent. Rinse
well and air dry thoroughly before replacing.
NOTE: Use of moist parts/components in
your unit will damage the motor and void
your warr anty
3.
The post-motor filter assists in the filtration
process to return clean air to the room. It is
located behind the door on the side of the
vacuum. If the filter becomes dirty, open the
door, remove the filter and replace.
NOTE: The post-motor filter is a white, pleated
filter. This filter is not washable and must be
replaced when it becomes dirty.
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 9.
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.

Remove the Twist ‘n Snap hose from
the vacuum by turning to the right. Straighten
the hose and unclog with a long, narrow object.

If you notice debris or dirt clogged in the foot
hose, remove it by pulling it out.

If the clog persists, follow the instructions
for checking the rotating floor brush and drive
belt on page 11 and inspect the air passageway
for obstructions.
