Troubleshooting

Vacuum won't turn on.

Check that the power cable is securely plugged into both the vacuum and the wall outlet. Ensure the wall socket is functional by testing it with another appliance. Check the fuse in the plug (if applicable).

Reduced suction power.

The most common cause is a full dust bag; replace it with a new one. Also, check the hose and tools for any blockages. Ensure the hose is securely connected to the vacuum unit.

Dust escaping from the vacuum.

Ensure the dust bag is correctly fitted and sealed around its rim inside the vacuum. Check that the vacuum's lid is properly closed and latched. Inspect the hose for any cracks or loose connections.

Care

  • Hose & Tools: Check the hose and tools regularly for blockages and clear any obstructions.

  • Cable Care: Always wind the power cable neatly into its storage mechanism after use to prevent damage.
