brush roller
8 String and the like may wind round the brush roller. Upend the cleaner, and snip any string,
etc. carefully with scissors. Take care not to cut the bristles.
blockages
No matter how careful you are, sooner or later you’re going to block the cleaner.
Don’t worry, we thought of that, we’ve fitted the motor with a temperature cut-out. A blockage
will trigger the cut-out , and the motor will stop.
don’t panic!
If the motor cuts out while you’re vacuuming, don’t panic, it’s not the end of the world, you’ve
probably just blocked it up.
9 Switch off, unplug, and leave the cleaner for half an hour to cool down fully. This’ll also reset
the cut-out.
10 Spread a newspaper on the floor, you’re going to make a mess.

11 If you’re using one of the tools, remove and check it first.
12 Remove and check the hose.
13 Check the bin, bin lid, HEPA filter, and mesh filter.
14 Check the base tube – this runs down to the brush roller. Don’t use anything sharp. The blunt
end of a ball-point pen will do nicely.
15 If the blockage isn’t clear by now, try again, as there’s nowhere left to check.
16 Still not clear? – Ring the help line (back page).
