Solution
• Check the contents panel on the back of the box to make sure the part
is included with your vacuum cleaner.
• The plug may not be fully pushed into the electrical socket.
• Check if the fuse in the plug needs replacing and always replace with a 13amp
British 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).
• The filters or separator may need cleaning. Go to 'Taking care of your machine'.
• The dirt container may not be fitted correctly. Remove the dirt container and
re-attach making sure it is clicked firmly into place.

Go to 'Taking care of your machine'.
