BLOCKAGES

If the cleaner starts to get noisy and you start to lose suction there is possibly a blockage.
•   Switch the power off and remove the plug from the wall power outlet.
•   Spread some newspaper or an old towel on the floor to avoid making a mess.
•  If you are using one of the tools, remove and check it first.
•   Remove the hose and check it – leave it disconnected until you have completed the next steps.
•   Remove the dust bin and check both ends of the inlet duct for any blockages.
•   If there is a blockage, try and remove it with your hands. Do not use anything sharp.
•   Check all the filters.
•   Then reassemble.

Note: If you have not cleared the blockage following these steps, please ring customer service.

CheCk the outlet filter

•  The outlet filter is located on the back of the vacuum cleaner.
•  Press the lock down, pull the top of the cover away from the cleaner and lift the

cover up and off the cleaner.

•  Ease the outlet filter out of the cleaner.
•  If the filter is covered in dust, tap it gently over some newspaper or on the rim of a

rubbish bin to dislodge the dust.

•  If it is very dirty, soak it in warm soapy water for a few minutes, rinse under a 

running tap, remove all traces of soap, then let it air dry – do NOT refit until it is
completely dry. 

•  When it is dry, replace it in the rear of the cleaner.
•  The soft foam side of the filter should be towards the cover and the firm white side

of the filter should be towards the cleaner.

•  Fit the lugs on the bottom of the cover into the slots in the cleaner and push the top

of the cover into the cleaner until it clicks into place
