Cleaning the Hose and Foot
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power switch OFF and disconnect plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
- Locate the stretch hose where it connects to the hose elbow on the back of the vacuum. Look to see if there is any debris in the hose and hose elbow. Clean as necessary.
- Locate the clear foot hose under the hose holder. Remove the two screws and clear clogs and debris in the hose. Use a long narrow object such as a broomstick to clean the hose. Replace two screws and re-attach stretch hose by sliding over inlet and rotating upwards towards the lock position.
NOTE: If the debris cannot be reached through the hose, then follow the instructions for cleaning the air passageway in “Cleaning the Brush Roll” section.
