Problem solving guide
Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily
remedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not be
needed.
The following guide may help you to find the reason for a malfunction or a fault,
and to correct it.
Problem Cause and remedy
The vacuum cleaner
switches off automatic-
ally.
On certain models, the
overheating warning
light

(dia. 32) also
comes on.
A temperature limiter switches the vacuum cleaner off
automatically if it gets too hot.
This can occur if, for instance, large articles block the
suction tube or when the dustbag is full or contains
particles of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or dust
compartment filter can also be the cause of overheat-
ing.
 Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately using
the On/Off foot control

. Switch off at the wall
socket and unplug it.
After removing the cause, wait for approximately 20 -
30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down.
It can then be switched on again.
