CLEANING PERFORMANCE
All vacuum cleaners are very simple and reliable machines, a motor with a fan attached to
move air through the machine.
Guild vacuum cleaners are robust and tested for endurance. If your motor is operating,
then the most likely cause for a loss in suction is a blockage or an opening somewhere in
the appliance.
For a vacuum cleaner to do its job correctly, it needs a working filter (in good condition) in
position to help capture dust particles. The optional dust bags help to increase the level
of filtration and dust collection. As filters and dust bags become blocked over time, you
should expect a drop in performance. This is normal and a good result, it shows that the
vacuum cleaner is effectively pulling up and trapping the dust. In short, it’s doing what it’s
supposed to.
To maintain a high cleaning performance from your machine, it is important to replace or
clean cartridge filters as necessary. This can be done with a soft paint brush, being careful
not to damage the cartridge filter. If you also use dust bags, you will need to replace these
when the bag is full or the performance drops.
A performance drop with clean filters can only be caused by a blockage in the tools or the
hose. Check all accessories for blockages, and ensure the joints between the vacuum and
the end of the nozzle are fitted correctly.
