Malfunctions
In the case of insufficient vacuuming performance, check the
following:

– Is the hose system clogged?
– Are the suction tubes 20 securely fixed together?
– Is the container 1 full?
– Is the dust bag 29 full?
– Are the filters clogged with dust?
The vacuum cleaner switches off on overheating. Proceed as
follows:
– Leave the vacuum cleaner to cool down for 60 min.

performance.
If the vacuuming performance is not achieved thereafter, take
the vacuum cleaner to customer service.
