CLEANING THE HOSE AND NOZZLE
The vacuum cleaner stops automatically if the nozzle, tube,
hose or filters and s-bag™ becomes blocked. In such cases,
disconnect from outlet and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.
Clear blockage and/or replace filters and s-bag™ and restart.
Tubes and hoses
1
Use a rod or similar to clear the tubes and hose.
2 It may also be possible to remove the obstruction in the
hose by squeezing it. However, be careful in case the
obstruction is caused by glass or needles caught inside
the hose.
Note: The warranty does not cover any damage to the hose caused by
cleaning it.
Cleaning the floor nozzle
3 To avoid deterioration of suction power, frequently clean
the carpet/hard floor nozzle. The easiest way to clean it is
by using the hose handle.
4 Press each wheel-hub and pull off the wheels.
5 Remove dust-balls, hair or other objects that may be
entangled. Use the crevice nozzle to clean the wheel
axles. Replace the wheels by pressing them onto the
axles.
6
Larger objects can be accessed by removing the connec-
tion hose (press the small catches located on each side
and simultaneously draw the connection tube outwards in
an upright position).
7 Remove the object(s) and replace the connection hose.
8
Cleaning the turbo nozzle
Disconnect the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner tube and
remove entangled threads, etc. by snipping them away
with scissors. Use the hose handle to clean the nozzle.
