To maximize your cleaning performance and extend the life of your vacuum, it is very
important that you empty your dirt container and check and clean your filters frequently.
Perform the following maintenance steps:
When using the Handheld Pet Turbo Brush, press down gently and pull
towards you in a raking motion.
Too much pressure will cause the brush to stop rotating.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power switch OFF and
disconnect plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance
or troubleshooting checks.
To maximize cleaning performance, check and clean or replace
all filters as suggested.
To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, always move the cleaner with
the carrying handle. Always place vacuum cleaner on the floor with handle
in upright position when using tools. Never place your fingers under the
cleaner when it is running. Never place vacuum foot on furniture or uneven
surfaces. Do not place vacuum cleaner close enough to objects to pull them
into rotating brush.
