Troubleshooting
Suction power is significantly reduced.
Check if the dust container is full and needs emptying. Inspect the main filter for excessive dust buildup and clean it manually if needed. Ensure there are no blockages in the hose or attached accessories.
The extractor will not turn on.
Verify that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the power switch on the unit.
