Problem solving guide

The vacuum cleaner switches off
automatically
A temperature limiter will switch the
cleaner off automatically if, for instance,
large articles have blocked the suction
tube or when the filter bag is full or
contains too much fine dust. A heavily
soiled dust compartment or exhaust
filter can also be the cause of
overheating. Switch the vacuum
cleaner off immediately using the
On/Off foot control s. Disconnect from
the electricity supply. Switch it off at the
wall socket and unplug it.
After removing the cause, wait for
approx. 20 - 30 minutes to allow the
vacuum cleaner to cool down. It can
then be switched on again.
