CLEARING A BLOCKAGE*

!
IMPORTANT: Switch the cleaner o
and remove the plug from the
electricity supply before dismantling
cleaner.
This cleaner is unlikely to become blocked, except by
overfilling of the dust container or accidentally
picking up large solid objects. Clearing a blockage is
simple.
If cleaning tools were in use,
check cleaning tool and
extension tube first. Next
check hose handgrip; to
remove grip ribbed ring as
shown, turn in direction of
arrow and ease apart.
To check the hose, stretch it
to full length and switch on
the cleaner; the suction will
dislodge most obstructions. If
this is unsuccessful, switch off
and unplug the cleaner.
Remove the hose by turning
it anti-clockwise as shown.
Detach cassette and remove
blockage.
For blockages in cleaner base:
1.Turn the cleaner over
and check that the
brushes are free to
rotate.
2. Check for a blockage
in hose socket. Use a
piece of wire or a blunt
flexible rod to remove
any obstructions.
