Problem
When I use my
vacuum cleaner
I sometimes feel
electric shocks.
Downloaded From Vacuum-Manual.com Manuals
Possible cause
Your vacuum cleaner has
built up static electricity. The
lower the air humidity in
the rooms, the more static
electricity the appliance
builds up.
Solution
To reduce this inconvenience, we advise you to
discharge the appliance by frequently holding the
tube against other metal objects in the room (for
example legs of a table or chair, radiator etc.).
To reduce this inconvenience, we advise you to
raise the air humidity level in the room by placing
water in the room. For example, you can hang
containers filled with water from your radiators
or place bowls filled with water on or near your
radiators.
