for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The suction
power is
insufcient.
The dustbag is full. Empty the reusable dustbag or replace the
disposable dustbag.
The lters are dirty. Clean or replace the lters.
The suction power is
set to a low setting.
Increase the suction power with the regulator on
the appliance or on the handgrip.
The nozzle, tube or
hose is blocked up.
To remove the obstruction, disconnect the
blocked-up item and connect it (as far as possible)
the other way around. Switch on the vacuum
cleaner to force the air through the blocked-up item
in opposite direction.
When I use my
vacuum cleaner I
sometimes feel
electric shocks.
Your vacuum cleaner
builds up static
electricity. The lower
the air humidity, the
more static electricity
the appliance builds
up.
Discharge the appliance by frequently holding the
tube against other metal objects in the room (for
example the legs of a table or chair, a radiator etc.).
You can also raise the air humidity level in the room.
Specic types
only: The
infrared remote
control does not
function.
The batteries do not
make full contact or
have not been
inserted properly.
Remove the lid of the battery compartment and
insert the batteries correctly. Make sure the - and +
poles point in the right direction.
The batteries are
empty.
Replace the batteries. You can continue to vacuum
but you cannot use the remote control to increase
or decrease the suction power or to switch off the
appliance. To switch off the appliance, press the on/
off button on the appliance.
