BLOCKAGES
48 No matter how careful you are, sooner or later you’ll block the
cleaner.

DON’T PANIC!
If the cleaner starts to get noisy and you start to lose suction, don’t
worry, it’s not the end of the world, you’ve probably just blocked it.
1 Switch the cleaner off and unplug it.
2 Spread a newspaper on the floor, you’re going to make a mess.
3 If you’re using one of the tools, remove and check it first.
4 Pull the hose out and check it.
5 Use something blunt, like the blunt end of a ball-point pen to
dislodge any blockage.
6 Check the bag – if it’s full, replace it.
7 Check the filters.
8 If you haven’t cleared the blockage by now, try again.
9 Still not clear? – Ring the helpline.
