WARNING: The motorised floor brush
(19)
must be removed before any maintenance
operations.
WARNING: Take care when using tools and
sharp objects.
1.
If the motorised floor brush
(19)
is stalled, for
example by a foreign object or by use on a very
deep-pile carpet, a motor protection device will
operate and the motor will stop and the floor
brush lights
(20)
will extinguish. To reset the
protection, first switch off, then remove the
motorised floor brush from the extension tube or
handheld vacuum cleaner. Check and remove any
blockage before refitting the motorised floor
brush to the extension tube or handheld vacuum
cleaner. Provided the blockage has been
removed, the protection should reset itself when
the product is switched on.
2.
To clean the motorised floor brush, turn the unit
off, press the motorised floor brush release button
(18)
and pull the motorised floor brush away.

Turn the motorised floor brush
(19)
over to
inspect the rotating brush bar
(19a)

turn anti-clockwise to
unlock the cover. Remove the cover
(19c)

the small flat bladed screwdriver underneath the
end of the rotating brush, gently lift the rotating
brush bar
(19a)
out.
5.
Pull away any hairs or fibres from around the
rotating brush bar
(19a)
. If they are tightly wound
around the brush carefully snip the fibres/hairs
with scissors using the groove in the brush to
assist. Take care not to damage the brush
bristles. Inspect both ends of the brush for hairs
& fibres and remove if necessary. The end cap of
the brush that sits underneath the brush bar
cover
(19c)
should rotate freely.

check to ensure there are no blockages in the
inlet aperture of the motorised floor brush
(19)

and brush bar
cover

“Does not pick-up”/ “Motorised floor-brush
running slow or soon stops”
Check for hairs/fibres that may be wrapped
around the rotating brush-bar.
IMPORTANT: Remove the rotating brush bar as
described on page 10. Fine hairs or fibres may be
caught in the ends of the rotating brush bar.
Carefully remove the hairs and re-fit the rotating
brush bar.
•
“Does not pick-up from floor, no suction but
the motorised floor brush is rotating”
Switch off the product, remove the motorised
floor brush
(19)
and the extension tube
(14)
and
check for blockages in both. Check also the
air-path in the handheld vacuum cleaner
(6)
between the dust canister
(10)
and the
handheld vacuum cleaner suction inlet
(15)
.
This air-path contains a one-way flap to
prevent dirt from falling out of the dust
canister, this flap must move freely.
•
“Does not pick-up” / “Suction of handheld
cleaner has reduced”
In addition to emptying the dust canister, it is very
important that the filters are regularly and
thoroughly cleaned. See pages 8 and 9 for details
of how to access and clean the filters.
