If unexpected difficulties
arise
Before contacting your dealer, check whether the
fault is due to one of the following minor causes:
Dust escaping from suction socket:
• Is the cartridge filter correctly positioned and
undamaged?
• Have you used the correct special filters?
Gradual reduction in suction power:
• Is the paper filter bag full?
• Is the cartridge filter clogged up by dust or
soot?
• Is there a blockage in the nozzle, extension tube
or flexible hose?
Sudden reduction in suction power:
• Has the floater stopped the flow of air ?
This can happen if the appliance is standing
at a slant or if the appliance falls over .
Turn off the vacuum cleaner – the floater will fall
back into place – the appliance is ready for use
again .
The motor does not function:
• Has the fuse blown?
• Is there damage to the mains cable, plug or
socket?
• Pull out the plug before checking!
• Never open the motor yourself!
