Warning beep 

There are two types of beeping sound. One is short 
beeps, and the other is long beep. 
When the air flow speed falls under 20 m/s, the cleaner 
emits short warning beeps for safety reasons. When it 
sounds, check the hose diameter selection dial or if the 
suction force is not too low. If the beeps keep sounding, 
perform maintenance or ask your local service center. 

When the tank is filled with liquid, the cleaner emits long 
warning beep. 
When the tank is full and the beep sounds, switch off 
the cleaner and empty the tank.
