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

Safety first: Immediately turn OFF the vacuum, remove the battery, and allow the unit to cool. Do not continue using it until the cause is found.

• 1. Inspect brush roll: Remove the motorized floor head cover and brush roll. Clear all hair and debris from the roller and end caps.
• 2. Check for melted plastic: Look inside the floor head for melted areas or burnt belt smell. Replace the floor head if damage is severe.
• 3. Clean filters and airflow: Ensure all filters are clean and the airflow path is unobstructed to reduce motor load.
• 4. Listen to motor: After cooling and reassembly, run the vacuum briefly. If the motor sounds rough, squeals, or the smell returns, stop using it.

Important: Persistent burning smell indicates motor or internal wiring damage. The main motor assembly or floor head should be replaced by a technician.
