STAIR CLEANING
4.2 Empty the dirt cup before the dirt cup reaches the max line (A). Place the
vacuum in the upright position before removing the dirt cup.
4. MAINTENANCE
When to Empty
Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks as proper use and
care of your vacuum will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.
The System Check Indicator located at (A), alerts you to possible system
performance issues. Please refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 13 for
possible causes and solutions.
Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service representative.
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 cleaner OFF and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
2. Empty dirt cup.
3. Inspect and remove blockage along the dirt path. This blockage may occur at the: nozzle inlet,
hose connector, hose, dirt cup inlet, cyclonic filter, washable filter, and HEPA filter.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and 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.
NOTICE
! !
CAUTION
! !
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. To avoid personal injury or damage, and to prevent the
cleaner from falling, always place cleaner at bottom of stairs on floor. Do not place cleaner on stairs or
furniture, as it may result in injury or damage.

CAUTION
! !
To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, unplug vacuum before
servicing. Do not use vacuum without dirt cup or filters in place.
Very fine materials, such as face powder or cornstarch, may seal the filter
