off in quick succession).
• Leave to cool down before looking for blockages.
• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for
blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Clear any blockage before restarting.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.

The motor will pulse when there is a blockage. Please follow the instructions
below to locate the blockage:
• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for
blockages. Be careful not to pull the 'ON' trigger.
• Do not operate while checking for blockages. Doing so could result in
personal injury.
• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• To check for blockages in the main body of the appliance, remove the clear
bin and cyclone as per the instructions in the cleaning the clear bin section and
remove the blockage. Please consult the 'Stubborn blockages' section of the
illustrations for further guidance.
• If you cannot clear an obstruction you may need to remove the brush bars,
please follow the instructions below:
– To remove the soft roller cleanerhead brush bars, please refer to the
'Washing the soft roller cleanerhead brush bars' section. Remove the obstruction
and replace the brush bars as shown in the 'Washing the soft roller cleanerhead
brush bars' section. Ensure that the fastener is fully turned and the base plate
and brush bars are secure before operating the appliance.

unlock the fastener and slide the brush bars out of the cleanerhead. Remove
the obstruction. Replace the brush bar and secure it by tightening the fastener.

them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling
the brushes.
