Remove dust-balls, hair or other objects that may be entangled. Replace the wheel by pressing them onto the axles. 37* Larger objects can be accessed by removing the connection hose from the nozzle (press the small catches located on each side and simultaneously draw the connection tube outwards in an upright position). 38* Remove the object(s) and replace the connection hose. Cleaning the turbo nozzle* 40 Disconnect the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner tube and remove entangled threads, etc. by snipping them away with scissors. Use the hose handle to clean the nozzle.
Troubleshooting
The vacuum cleaner does not start � Check that the cable is connected to the mains. � Check that the plug and cable are not damaged. � Check for a blown fuse. The vacuum cleaner stops � Check whether the dust bag, s-bag® is full. If so, replace it with a new one. � � Is the nozzle, tube or hose blocked? Are the filters blocked?
Cleaning the hose and nozzle
The vacuum cleaner stops automatically if the nozzle, tube, hose or filters and s-bag® becomes blocked. In such cases, disconnect from mains and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes. Clear blockage and/or replace filters and s-bag® and restart. Tubes and hoses 34 Use a cleaning strip or similar to clear the tubes and hose. 3* Hose handle could be dismantled from hose if cleaning is needed. 35 It may also be possible to remove the obstruction in the hose by squeezing it. However, be careful in case the obstruction is caused by glass or needles caught inside the hose. Note: The warranty does not cover any damage to the hose caused by cleaning it.
