Possible cause and solution

the optimum level based on the type of flooring.
The noise is not unusual – the vacuum cleaner is
functioning normally.
The Electrobrush is overloaded – this can happen on
surfaces like deep-pile carpet.
Switch the vacuum cleaner off and switch it on again
at a reduced suction power level. Use the On/Off
switch on the Comfort handle to do this.
The roller brush is dirty.
Clean the roller brush (see "Maintenance" – "Clean-
ing the Electrobrush" and "Removing the roller
brush from the Electrobrush").
The fine dust filter/pre-filter is soiled.
Run the interim cleaning function for the fine dust
filter (see "Maintenance" – "Activating the Comfort-
Clean function").
Clean both filters thoroughly (see "Maintenance" –
"Cleaning the pre-filter and fine dust filter").
The fine dust filter is worn.
Insert a new fine dust filter (HX FSF-2).
