troubleshooting
1 The suction power is insufficient.
- Make sure the suction power knob is in maximum position and the slide on the handgrip is
closed.
- Perhaps the dustbag is full. Replace the disposable dustbag or empty the reusable dustbag.
- Perhaps the filters are dirty. Clean or replace the filters.
- The nozzle, tube or hose may be blocked up. To remove the obstruction, disconnect the
blocked-up item and connect it (as far as possible) the other way around. Switch on the vacuum
cleaner to force the air through the blocked-up item in opposite direction (Fig. 26).
