If unexpected difficulties arise

Before contacting your dealer, check whether the
fault is due to one of the following minor causes:
When dust is expelled during vacuuming:
Is the paper filter bag or the long-life wet and dry
●
filter correctly fitted, sealed and in order?
Is an original THOMAS filter fitted?
●
Gradual reduction in suction power:
Are the filter pores blocked by fine dust or
●
soot? (remove the long-life wet and dry filter for
cleaning.)
Is there a blockage in the nozzle, extension tube
●
or flexible hose?
Sudden reduction in suction power:
Has the float stopped the flow of air ?
●
This can happen if the appliance is standing
at a slant or if the appliance falls over.
Turn off the vacuum cleaner – the float will falI
back into place – the appliance is ready for use
again.
The motor does not function:
Has the fuse blown?
●
Is ithere damage to the mains cable, plug or
●
socket?
Pull out the plug before checking!
