Clearing the hose and nozzle
The vacuum cleaner automatically stops if there is a
blockage in the nozzle, tubes or hose or if the lter or lter
holder becomes blocked. Pull out the power plug and
allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down for 20–30 minutes.

34 Use a suitable implement to clear the tubes and hose
of blockages.
35 It is sometimes possible to clear the hose by
“massaging” it. However, be careful in case the
obstruction has been caused by glass or needles
caught inside the hose. Note: The warranty does not
cover any damage to hoses caused by cleaning them.
