HOW TO REPLACE THE
BOTTOM PLATE BRUSH
Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet

Put the Surface Selector Lever in the
“Carpet” Position. This will allow for
easier removal of the brush. Turn

Turn inside of the bottom plate up. Care-
fully slide brush out of holders. Fig. 2.
With the Surface Selector Lever still in the
“Carpet” position, slide new brush into

brush in holders as necessary.

Run a thin utensil such as a table knife
around the brush to make certain all the
bristles enter the slot in the bottom plate.
