vacuum cleaner.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

Problem
The unit does not
function or
decrease in suction
power.
The motor does not
rotate.
The cord is not
rewind.
WARNING
This vacuum cleaner contains a motor protection system to maximize the
motor life. It is designed to shut off to avoid overheating in case of a
blockage or clogged filter. If the protection device is activated, the vacuum
cleaner stops without turning off the switch. If this happens, turn off and
unplug the vacuum cleaner.
Please empty the dust bag and clean the motor pre-filter.
After approximately 1 hour, the motor will have cooled and the vacuum
cleaner will be ready to use.
Operating this vacuum cleaner with clogged or dirty filter may cause the
vacuum cleaner to overheat.
Please clean the motor pre-filter and empty the dust bag regularly.
Please request service if the problem still persists or if the problem is not defined in the
Troubleshooting Chart.
Check
Check to see if the dust cup is
filled with dust.
Check to see if the suction
hose, extension pipes or floor
nozzle is clogged.
Make sure the vacuum cleaner
is plugged in and that outlet is
working.
Is the cord entangled?
Countermeasure
Dispose dust.
Remove any foreign object that
may have become jammed in
the floor nozzle, hose or pipe.
Make sure to plug into an outlet.
Plug into another outlet.
Pull the cord out a little and
press the cord rewind button
again.
