Vacuum emits a burning smell during use.

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

• Inspect brushroll and belt: Remove the brushroll cover. Check for melted plastic, burnt belt smell, or heavy hair buildup. Clean thoroughly and replace the belt or brushroll if damaged.
• Check filters and airflow: Clean or replace clogged filters and remove any blockages in the wand or nozzle.
• Smell source isolation: Run the vacuum briefly (10–15 seconds) with the nozzle removed. If the burning smell comes from the main body, the motor may be failing.
• Discontinue use if smell persists: A persistent electrical burning smell indicates motor or wiring failure. Replace the main motor assembly or have the unit serviced by a professional.
