Clearing blockages

Disconnect your machine from the charger before looking for blockages.
Be careful not to touch the trigger and be aware of sharp objects.
Leave your machine to cool down before looking for blockages.
Don't use your machine when looking for blockages as this could
cause injury.
If your machine detects a blockage, the motor will pulse and you won't be
able to use your machine until the blockage has been cleared.
If you try to use your machine when the motor is pulsing, it will automatically
cut out.
Check the main body

Make sure any blockages are completely cleared and all parts are fitted
before using your machine.
Check the wand and cleaner head

Check your cleaner head for blockages, following the instructions to remove
the brush bar, where necessary.
Re–assemble your machine
Refit all parts securely before using your machine.
Clearing blockages isn't covered by your guarantee.
With the bin removed,
check for blockages, paying
particular attention to the air
inlet, located at on the right–
hand side of the machine just
below the point where the bin
joins the main body of the
machine.
With the wand
removed from the
machine, check for
blockages at both ends
of the wand.
Turn the cleaner head over
to check for obstructions on
the brush bar and air inlet.
