Vacuum emits a burning smell during or after use.

Safety first: Immediately switch off the vacuum, remove the battery, and unplug the charger. Do not continue using the unit until the cause is found.

• Step 1 – Inspect brushroll and nozzle: Check for jams, melted plastic, or burnt hair on the brushroll. Clear all obstructions and replace any melted parts.
• Step 2 – Check filters and airflow: Ensure all filters are clean and airflow paths are clear to prevent motor overheating.
• Step 3 – Smell test: Carefully smell near the nozzle and then near the main body (with battery removed). Identify where the odor is strongest.
• Step 4 – Internal inspection (advanced): Open the housing and inspect the motor and PCB for discoloration, burnt components, or melted insulation.
• Step 5 – Replace damaged components: Replace any burnt motor, nozzle motor, or PCB with genuine Princess parts. If damage is extensive, consider full unit replacement.
