How often should I change the dust bag?

You should change the dust bag when it is full, or when you notice a significant reduction in suction power. Regular checks will ensure consistent performance.

Can I use Hetty on delicate hard floors without scratching them?

What is the warranty period for the Numatic Hetty?

Info needed: Please refer to your product documentation or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty information. Warranty periods can vary by region and retailer.

Is the TriTex filter washable?

Info needed: Specific maintenance instructions for the TriTex filter, including whether it is washable or needs to be replaced, can be found in the product's full user manual.

Troubleshooting

Hetty won't turn on.

Check that the power cable is securely plugged into both the vacuum cleaner and a working wall socket. Ensure the power switch on the unit is in the 'on' position. If the problem persists, try a different electrical outlet.

Reduced suction power.

The most common cause is a full dust bag; replace it with a new one. Also, check the TriTex filter for blockages or excessive dirt. Inspect the hose, extension tubes, and floor tool for any obstructions or blockages. Ensure all connections (hose to unit, tubes to hose, tool to tubes) are airtight.

Unpleasant odor from the vacuum.

A full or dirty dust bag is often the culprit; replace it immediately. Also, check the filter for any trapped debris that might be causing the smell. Cleaning the inside of the hose can also help.

Cable rewind mechanism is stuck or slow.

Pull the cable out fully to its maximum extent and then release it, guiding it gently as it retracts. Ensure the cable is not kinked or tangled. Avoid letting the cable retract forcefully to prevent damage.

Cleaning tools are not attaching securely.

Ensure that the tools and tubes are free from debris that might prevent a snug fit. Push the connections firmly until they are secure. Check for any damage to the plastic connections on the tools or tubes.
