Vacuum emits an unpleasant or musty odor during use.

Safety first: Turn off the vacuum and remove the battery. Avoid inhaling dust directly.

• Thoroughly clean dust bin: Empty and, if allowed by the manual, wash the bin with mild soap and water. Dry completely before reinstalling.
• Clean or replace filters: Wash washable filters and allow to dry 24 hours. Replace non-washable filters if they smell bad.
• Clean brush head: Remove hair and debris from the brush roller and housing. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry fully.
• Prevent recurrence: Empty the bin after each use, especially when picking up pet hair or food debris, and store the vacuum in a dry area.
