BLOCKAGES - UNPLUG THE MACHINE FROM THE WALL
If your vacuum 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 follows:
Remove the hose from the top suction inlet by pushing the two small clips in turning the hose to the right and pulling it out (Fig. 1). Clear any obstruction from the hose or top suction inlet using a blunt implement, taking care not to damage the hose.
If the obstruction occurs in the suction pipe inlet, it can be removed as shown in Fig. 2.

When it is necessary to remove thread, string, hair, etc., which has wound around the beater bar, cut across them with a pair of scissors making sure not to cut the brush.
