• Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for
blockages. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES

blockage. Please follow the instructions below to locate the blockage:
• Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the charger before looking for
blockages. Be careful not to pull the ‘ON’ trigger.
• Do not operate while checking for blockages as doing so could result in
personal injury.
• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• To check for blockages in the main body of the appliance, remove the clear
bin following the instructions in the 'Cleaning the clear bin' section and remove
the blockage.
• If you cannot clear an obstruction from the cleanerhead, you may need to remove
the brush bar. Use a coin to unlock the fastener, slide the brush bar out of the
cleanerhead and remove the obstruction. Replace the brush bar and secure it by
tightening the fastener. Ensure it is fixed firmly before operating the appliance.
• This appliance has carbon fibre brushes. Take care if coming into contact with
them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling
the brushes.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your warranty.
