The light in the

The nozzle, hose or
tube 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.
The infrared remote
control does not

standby light on the

The dust bucket and/or
the filter cylinder unit
are not installed
properly.
Unplug the appliance. Make sure that the filter
cylinder is assembled properly into the filter
cylinder case (‘click’). Also make sure that the
filter cylinder unit is inserted properly into the
dust bucket (‘click’).
The cover is not closed
properly.
Make sure the cover is closed properly. Put the
plug in the wall socket and try again.
When I use my
vacuum cleaner I
sometimes feel
electric shocks.
Your vacuum cleaner
has built up static
electricity. The lower the
air humidity in the
rooms, the more static
electricity the appliance
builds up.
To reduce this inconvenience, we advise you to
discharge the appliance by frequently holding
the tube against other metal objects in the
room (for example legs of a table or chair,
radiator etc.).
