When the container is full, a float switch closes the suc-
tion opening and the device runs at a higher speed.
Switch off the device immediately and empty the con-
tainer.
Note
If the device falls over, the float can also close. To make
the device capable of vacuuming again, set up the de-
vice, switch it off, wait 5 seconds and then switch it on
again.
