Vacuum smells of burning or hot plastic during or after use

Safety: Stop using the vacuum immediately, switch OFF, and remove the battery. Allow the unit to cool completely.

• Inspect brush bar: Remove the floorhead and brush bar. Clear all hair and debris. Check for melted plastic or discoloration.
• Clean filters and check airflow: Ensure pre- and post-motor filters are clean and dry. Check for blockages in wand and bin inlet.
• Test briefly: After cooling and cleaning, run the vacuum for a short period and monitor for smell.
• Service if smell persists: If the burning smell returns quickly, the main motor or brush motor is likely damaged and should be replaced by a technician.
