What to do if it goes wrong

•   Check the ‘This pack contains’ panel on the box to make sure 

the part is included with your vacuum cleaner.

•   The dirt container may not be correctly fitted, remove the dirt container 

from the vacuum cleaner and check pre-motor filter and dirt container 

are assembled correctly, refit ensuring it’s locked into place. Go to 

‘Taking care of your machine’.

•   The filter may be clogged, clean the filter. Go to ‘Taking care of your 

machine’.

•   The dirt container may be blocked, empty the dirt container. Go to 

‘Taking care of your machine’.

•   There may be a blockage in the hose/tube. Disconnect from the vacuum 

cleaner and carefully remove any blockages. Go to ‘Let’s talk technical’.

•    The filters may be clogged, clean the filter.  

Go to ‘Taking care of your machine’.

•   The plug may not be fully pushed into the electrical socket.
•   Check the fuse in the plug if this needs replacing, always replace with  

a 5amp fuse.

•   The motor thermostat may have tripped. If this has happened, unplug 

the vacuum cleaner. Remove and empty the dirt container and check 

the hose for blockages. Clean the filters and allow the vacuum cleaner 

to cool for approximately 1 hour (if you have washed the filters you will 

need to wait 24 hours for the filters to fully dry before putting them back 

into the vacuum cleaner).
