Frequently Asked Questions - Roam 97300 TORNADO

How do I empty the dust container?

Press the release button on the dust container, lift it out, and empty the contents over a waste bin. Rinse the container with water if needed, and ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the HEPA filter every 3-4 months or when the suction power drops. Rinse with cold water and let it air dry for 24 hours before reinstalling.

Why is the suction power weak?

Check if the dust container is full, filter is clogged, or hose/attachments are blocked. Also ensure the suction control is set to high. Clean or replace the filter if necessary.

Can I use the vacuum on hardwood floors?

Yes, the vacuum includes a brush that can be turned off or adjusted for hard floors. Use the appropriate setting to avoid scratches.

How do I replace the belt?

Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Remove the brush roll cover, take out the old belt, and slip a new belt over the motor pulley and brush roll. Reassemble the cover.

What does the Overheat Protection feature do?

If the vacuum overheats due to a blockage or prolonged use, it automatically shuts off. Wait at least 30 minutes for it to cool down, then remove the blockage before restarting.

Is the vacuum bagless?

Yes, the Roam 97300 is bagless with a cyclonic system that separates dust from air, making maintenance easy and cost-effective.

How do I clean the brush roll?

Remove the brush roll cover and lift out the brush. Use scissors to cut away any hair or threads wrapped around it. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and let dry completely before reinstalling.

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts such as filters, belts, and brush rolls are available from the Tornado website or authorized retailers. Use the model number Roam 97300 for accurate compatibility.

Can I use extension cords?

Yes, but ensure the extension cord is rated for at least 10 amps and is fully unwound to prevent overheating. Avoid using cords longer than 10 meters.
