Removing a Blockage From The System

If the bag check indicator is illuminated or flashing:
1. Check if the bag is full. If so refer to 'Replacing The Dust Bag'.
2. If it is not full, then:

A. Do the filters need cleaning? If so refer to 'Cleaning the Filter'.

B. Check if there is any other blockage in the system - Use a rod or a pole to remove any blockage from the Teletube or flexible hose.

Warning - The bag check indicator will turn red if the cleaner is used when full, if there is a blockage or if the filters are dirty. If the cleaner is used for a significant period of time with the bag check indicator is red, a thermal cut out will switch the cleaner off to prevent overheating.

If this should happen, switch the cleaner off, unplug and correct the fault. It will take about 30 minutes for the cut out to automatically reset.
