1. How to clean the screen?

Answer: Clean the screen with soft dry cloth to wipe away fingerprints or other dirt.

1. Why is the side brush easy to distort?

Answer: The side brush is made up of many fine, long filaments that whisk the floor lightly so as not to mar the floors surface.

The filaments are designed to get the dust, lint, debris into the agitator area and then sucked into the Dust box, and because of this, it can become entangled with lint, debris and become twisted onto itself. If the brush runs over a power cord, the filaments can become wrapped around the cord and may become distorted. For replacement, the brushes are color coded so that the correct one will be assembled to the correct side of the cleaner, reference Side brush cleaning chapter for instructions.
