How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately switch OFF the vacuum, remove the battery, and allow the unit to cool. Do not continue using it until inspected.

- Check filters and airflow: Clean filters and ensure all air paths are clear to prevent overheating.
- Smell source: Determine whether the smell comes from the floor head or main body. This helps identify whether the brush motor or main motor is affected.
