Troubleshooting
Vacuum is not picking up dirt or suction is weak.
Check the dust cup and empty it if full. 2. Inspect all filters (pre-motor and post-motor) and clean them as per the care instructions. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting. 3. Check for blockages in the hose, floorhead, and wand. Disconnect components and look for obstructions. 4. Ensure all connections (dust cup, wand, hose) are securely clicked into place.
Pet hair is not being effectively picked up by the Pet Tool.
Ensure the Pet Tool is clean and free from blockages or tangled hair. 2. Verify that the suction is set appropriately for the surface. 3. Check the main vacuum's filters and dust cup for fullness, as overall suction can affect tool performance.
LED headlights are not working.
Ensure the vacuum is securely plugged into a working power outlet. 2. Check the connection between the main body/wand and the floorhead, ensuring it is fully clicked in. 3. If the problem persists, it may indicate an electrical issue requiring professional service.
Vacuum stops suddenly during operation.
The vacuum may have overheated. Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Check and clean all filters, empty the dust cup, and clear any blockages. Allow the vacuum to cool for at least 45 minutes before restarting. There is an automatic thermal cut-off for protection.
