Why won't the vacuum cleaner turn on?
• The plug may not be fully pushed into the electrical socket.
• Check the fuse in the plug if this needs replacing, always replace with a 13amp fuse.
• The motor thermostat may have tripped. If this has happened, unplug the vacuum cleaner. Remove
and empty the dirt container and check the hose for blockages. Clean the filters and allow the vacuum
cleaner to cool for approximately 1 hour (if you have washed the filters you will need to wait 24 hours
for the filters to fully dry before putting them back into the vacuum cleaner).
