• If there is a blockage, try and remove it with your hands. Do not use anything sharp.

NOTE: This vacuum cleaner is equipped with an overheat protection system. If for some reason
your vacuum overheats, the motor will turn off. Should this occur, turn the switch off and unplug

re-starting the unit. To prevent overheating make sure that the filters and the dust bin are clean.
