CAUTION
•Turn power off and unplug
before checking for
blockages. Failure to do so
could result in electric
shock or personal injury.
•If any part of your machine
becomes blocked, it may
overheat and then
automatically shut off.
Unplug machine and leave
to cool down for at least
60 minutes.
•Please note: Clearing
blockages is not covered
by your machine’s
limited warranty.
•Beware of sharp objects
when clearing blockages.
•Refit all parts of the
machine before using it.
•If you hear a loud
‘racheting’ noise it
means the brushbar
is obstructed.
•The ‘ratcheting’ noise
may also occur if your
carpet or area rug is not
adequately attached to
the floor. If this happens,
you should vacuum in
bare floors mode.
