CLEARING A BLOCKAGE
!IMPORTANT: Switch the cleaner off and remove the plug from the electricity supply before dismantling cleaner.
This cleaner is unlikely to become blocked, except by over filling of the dust container or accidentally picking up large solid objects. Clearing a blockage is simple.
If cleaning tools were in use, check cleaning tool and exten- sion tube first. Next check hose handgrip; to remove grip ribbed ring as shown, turn in direction of arrow and ease apart.
To check the hose, stretch it to full length and switch on the cleaner; the suction will dis- lodge most obstructions. If this is unsuccessful, switch off and unplug the cleaner. Remove the hose by turning it anti- clockwise as shown. Detach cassette and remove blockage.
For blockages in cleaner base:
1. Turn the cleaner over and check that the brushes are free to rotate.
2. Check for a blockage in hose socket. Use a piece of wire or a blunt flexible rod to remove any obstructions.
