Vacuum emits a burning smell or hot plastic odor during or after use.

Safety: Stop using the vacuum immediately and remove the battery. Do not continue to run a unit that smells like burning.

• Inspect cleaner head: Remove the brush bar and check for melted plastic, burnt belt, or scorched debris. Clear all jams and replace damaged parts.
• Check filters and airflow: Clean filters and clear blockages to ensure proper cooling airflow.
• Smell source: Smell near the motor housing and cleaner head separately to identify the origin.
• Service if persistent: If the burning smell persists after cleaning and replacing the head (if needed), the motor or wiring may be damaged and should be inspected and replaced by a professional.
