Operation
Unclogging nozzle and hose
CAUTION: Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from
the electrical outlet before cleaning nozzle housing.
The nozzle hose, located on the back of the
vacuum, carries the dirt from the nozzle to the
vacuum bag. The hose also functions as the
attachment cleaning hose. First check to see
that a bag is installed or that the bag has not
broken open.
If the hose should become clogged:
1. Pull out and turn the lid of the cleaning
attachment opening. Remove the clog or
blockage [Fig. ].
. Remove hose cuff from nozzle inlet and check
for clog [Fig. 4].
. Turn unit over and remove bottom plate (See
“Removing and re-installing bottom plate”).
Check nozzle inlet tube for obstructions [Fig.
5]. Clear tube and re-install bottom plate.
