REMOVING A BLOCKAGE FROM THE SYSTEM
The Bag Check Indicator on your cleaner is illuminated or flashing.
1) Check if the dust bag is full. If so refer to chapter "Replacing the bag /
Emptying the Permanent bag".
2) If not full then:
a) Did you wash the filters after 5 full bags? If not please refer to chapter
"Filters maintenance".
b) Check if there is any other blockage in the system.
• Use a rod or pole to remove any blockage from the tubes and flexible hose.
• It may also be possible to remove an obstruction in the flexible hose by
lightly squeezing or bending it.
• Clean the underside of the carpet and hard floor nozzle frequently by
using the crevice tool.
SIMPLE USER CHECK LIST BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
