Solution
• Check the 'This pack contains' panel on the box to make sure
the part is included with your machine.
• The dirt container may not be correctly fitted, remove the dirt
container from the vacuum cleaner and check it's assembled correctly,
refit ensuring it's locked into place.
• The shroud is blocked. Go to 'Taking care of your machine'.
• The separator and shroud are incorrectly fitted. Go to 'Taking care
of your machine'.
• The filter may be clogged, clean the filter. Go to 'Taking care of
your machine'.
• The dirt container may be blocked, empty the dirt container.
Go to 'Taking care of your machine'.
• There may be a blockage in the hose/tube. Disconnect from the
vacuum cleaner and carefully remove any blockages.
Go to 'Let's talk technical'.
• The plug may not be fully pushed into the electrical socket.
• Check the fuse in the plug if this needs replacing, always replace
with a 13amp 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 may be clogged, clean the filter. Go to 'Taking care
of your machine'.
