My Air Lift

™

won't turn on.

Always be sure to plug it in ﬁrmly. A Thermal Protector may

have been activated—unplug and let vacuum cool for 30

min. If this doesn’t work, there may be no voltage in the wall

plug. Check fuse or breaker in home. If there is a blown fuse

or tripped breaker, replace fuse or reset breaker in home.

My Air Lift

™

isn’t picking up well.

Be sure to empty if the dirt cup is full. You may have a

clogged ﬁlter. Your ﬁlter should be rinsed every 4-6 uses.

First, push the dirt cup release button then push the ﬁlter

door release button and remove the ﬁlter. Rinse with clear

warm water for two minutes. Let it dry for 24 hours before

reinstalling it.

If your ﬁlter was dirty…

You may also have a clog in the system. Remove canister

and check hose for a clog. Lay the upright ﬂat and check

hose for a clog. If found, remove the clog.

My Air Lift

™

picks up well on hard ﬂoors, but not on

carpet.

When you’re vacuuming, look to see if the brushroll is

spinning. You should hear it. If you don’t, press the brushroll

on/off button.

If your brushroll is not turning on…

The Motor Protection Sensor may have been activated by an

obstruction. Unplug and remove the obstruction. Wait a few

minutes (usually about 2-5, but can take up to 30) for the unit

to reset itself, plug in and turn on.

Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service

representative.

If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped,

damaged,

left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a service center

prior to continuing use.
