Clearing blockages
If the suction still seems to be
lower than expected after the
dust container bag has been
emptied, there may be a
blockage in one of the tubes
or attachments. Unplug the
cleaner and check the
following areas for blockages:
• The hose inlet socket (a).
• The joint where the exible
hose connects to the
attachments (b).
• The inlet to the oor brush (c).
If you cannot see the blockage, it may be in one of the knee-joints
situated at the end of the plastic hose. To undo these joints, use a
at-bladed screwdriver (or similar tool) to carefully press in the
release lugs, then pull the joint apart. Remove any blockage, then
push the joint together again until the lugs latch into place.

if required.

cool.

on. The vacuum cleaner should now work.
