Problem Possible cause Solution
The appliance does not
work when I push the
button.
The battery light flashes fast
because the batteries are
low.
To charge the batteries, insert the small
plug into the socket on the appliance
and insert the adapter into a wall socket.
You cannot use the
appliance because the
appliance is still charging.
You have to remove the small plug from
the socket on the appliance before you
can switch on the appliance.
You have to press two
buttons.
First press the on/off button to switch
on the appliance. Then press the MAX
button to get maximum suction power.
The appliance has a lower
suction power than usual.
The filter and the cyclone are
dirty.
Clean the filter and the cyclone.
You have not connected the
dust bucket, the dust
separator and the cyclone
properly. Incorrect assembly
of these parts causes air
leakage, which leads to loss
of suction power.
Connect the dust bucket, the dust
separator and the cyclone properly.
