TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn power off and unplug unit before servicing

Power cord caught in brush-roll or floor nozzle

• To minimise the risk of power cord damage, DO NOT run the vacuum over the power cord. If this occurs, immediately shut off power to the vacuum and remove the cord from the brush-roll or nozzle.
• Inspect power cord and plug for any damage before use. DO NOT use vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug. Turn off all controls before plugging in or unplugging the vacuum cleaner. Store your vacuum cleaner with the power cord secured around the two cord hooks.

Vacuum is not picking up debris

No suction or light suction

(Refer to Maintenance section for more information)

• Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and drying the filters before re-inserting back into the vacuum.
• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
• Check hose, hose connections, nozzles, and accessories for blockages; clear blockages if required.
• Remove any string, carpet fibres or hair that may be wrapped around the brush-roll.
