CLEARING A BLOCKAGE

IMPORTANT: Switch the cleaner off and remove
the plug from the electricity supply before
dismantling cleaner.
If cleaning tools were in use
check the cleaning tool and
the removable handle.
Check the hose by
removing it from the
handle, stretching it to full
length.
Turn the cleaner over and
rotate the brushes until they
are free to rotate. If debris
can be seen under the
inspection cover, remove
the two screws indicated.
Check for a blockage in
the lower hose socket. To
remove the hose pull the
finger tab and pull the hose
upwards. Use a flexible rod
to remove any obstruction.
Open the pet hair or
allergen remover by
unlocking the clip. Lift
the cover and remove the
blockage.
