This cleaner is unlikely to become blocked, except

by overfilling of the dust container or accidentally

picking up large solid objects. Clearing a blockage is

simple.

use, check cleaning tool

and extension tube first.

Next check hose

handgrip; to remove grip

ribbed ring as shown,

turn in direction of

arrow and ease apart.

To check the hose, stretch it

to full length and switch on

the cleaner; the suction will

dislodge most obstructions.

If this is unsuccessful, switch

off and unplug the cleaner.

Remove the hose by turning

it anti-clockwise as shown.

Detach cassette and remove

blockage.

For blockages in cleaner base:

1.Turn the cleaner

over and check that

the brushes are

free to rotate.

blockage in hose

socket. Use a

piece of wire or a

blunt flexible rod

to remove any

obstructions.

and remove the plug from the

electricity supply before dismantling

User checklist

If your cleaner is not working properly run through the

following checklist.

1. Is there a working electricity supply to the cleaner?

Check with another electrical product.

2. Is the bag full or choked with fine dust?

3. Is the hose blocked?

4. Is there a blockage in the cleaner base?

5. Are the filters blocked?

6. Is the nozzle height set correctly?

7. Are the brushes rotating correctly?

8. Has the cleaner overheated? If so, it will take about 30

minutes to reset.

If there is any doubt call your local Hoover Service Office for

advice. They may be able to assist you over the telephone.

WARNING!

A thermal cut out switches off the cleaner to prevent

overheating if it is used when full or there is a blockage or

dirty filters. If this should happen switch off, unplug and

correct the fault.

It will take about 30 minutes for the cut out to

automatically reset.

●flexible hose handgrip is pushed firmly into

its socket.

come on if:

●Bag needs replacement. If picking up fine powders more

frequent replacement will be required even although the bag

does not appear well filled.

●Filters are dirty.

●There is a blockage.

The light may flicker on and off during normal use.

IMPORTANT: Do not run cleaner

over the supply cord as this could

damage the supply cord insulation.
