EMPTYING THE DIRT CUP

1. Press the dirt cup release button.
2. Empty over a trach can by pressing the dirt cup door release.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST FILTER PART #440015877

1. Tilt the vacuum back, then release the latch to remove the Exhaust Filter
2. Tap the filter on trash can and wipe away remaining dust with a dry cloth. Place exhaust filter back onto the vacuum.

CLEANING THE RINSABLE FILTER PART #440015878

1. Remove the dirt cup, then remove the filter from the dirt cup lid.
2. Rinse the filter with water only until the filter is clean and the water runs through clear. Gently squeeze the filter to remove excess water.
3. Allow the filter to air dry for at least 24 hours.

IMPORTANT: The filter must be completely dry before replacing it. This may take between 24 and 48 hours.

Check the inside of the filter for dampness before replacing.

REMOVING SYSTEM CLOGS

If you are experiencing a loss of suction or you notice debris spitting out of the nozzle, we recommend checking the nozzle, tube, hose, and filters for any visible signs of blockage or built-up debris. It is also recommended to rinse your Filter if there is visible built-up dirt and dust on the filter. This should help improve performance on your vacuum.

TIP

Vacuum is equipped with an automatic brushroll shutoff in the event of overload or jam. Check for obstructions in the brush roll area and remove any obstructions. When obstructions are cleared, resume cleaning as normal.

THERMAL PROTECTION

A thermal protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates, the cleaner will stop running.

If this happens, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the cleaner OFF and unplug it.
2. Empty the dirt cup.
3. Inspect the nozzle inlet, hose connector, hose, dirt cup inlet, cyclonic filter, rinsable filter, and exhaust filter for any obstructions. Clear obstructions if present.
4. When the cleaner is de-energized and the motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector will deactivate, and cleaning may continue.

If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner needs servicing.
