Cleaning the hose and nozzle
The vaccum cleaner stops automatically if the nozzle, tube, hose or filters become blocked. In such cases, disconnect from mains and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes. Clear blockage and/or replace filters and restart. Tubes and hoses 33 Use a cleaning strip or similar to clear the tubes and hose. Hose handle could be dismantled from hose if cleaning is needed. 34 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.
Cleaning Ergobox
After having separated the front and the rear part, and after removing the HEPA filter, wash it under a tap or a shower. It is also possible to wash it in a dish washer. Use of detergent might make Ergobox opaque but this will not affect the efficiency. Make sure it is dry before putting it back.

Hard floors: Use the carpet/hard floor nozzle with the lever* in position (32). Wooden floors: Use the parquet nozzle* (10).
