Warning beep
There are two types of beeping sound. One is short
beeps, and the other is long beep.
When the air flow speed falls under 20 m/s, the cleaner
emits short warning beeps for safety reasons. When it
sounds, check the hose diameter selection dial or if the
suction force is not too low. If the beeps keep sounding,
perform maintenance or ask your local service center.

warning beep.
When the tank is full and the beep sounds, switch off
the cleaner and empty the tank.
