Vacuum emits an unpleasant or musty odor during use.

Safety first: Remove the battery before cleaning.

• Empty and wash bin: Empty the dust container and, if allowed by the manual, wash it with mild soap and water. Dry completely before reinstalling.
• Clean or replace filters: Wash washable filters and let them dry 24 hours. Replace non-washable HEPA filters if they smell bad.
• Clean nozzle: Remove hair and debris from the floor nozzle and brushroll. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry.
• Prevent recurrence: Empty the bin after each use and avoid vacuuming damp materials.
