IMPORTANT NOTE: Before replacing any part always,
DISCONNECT THE CLEANER FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.
BLOCKAGES
If your cleaner stops picking up dust, or the Bag Change Indicator shows "Full" while the dust bag
is still empty, a blockage may have occurred.
To remove the obstruction, proceed as follow:
Remove the hose from the suction inlet by turning the hose to the right and pulling it out (Fig. 1). Clear any
obstruction from the hose and/or suction inlet using a blunt instrument, taking care not to damage the hose.
If the obstruction occurs in the suction pipe, it can be removed with care as shown in Fig. 2.
MAINTENANCE FOR THE BEATER BAR
DO NOT USE YOUR FINGERS OR HANDS TO
REMOVE OR CLEAN THE BEATER BAR.

When it is necessary to remove thread, string, hair

across them with a pair of scissors, making sure
not to cut the brush.
