What to do if the vacuum cleaner does not turn on?

Check that the plug is properly inserted into the socket and that the socket is powered. Make sure the on/off button is pressed. If the problem persists, consult a Hotpoint-Ariston approved technician.

How to use the Remote Power Control?

How to switch from bag mode to bagless mode (Dual System)?

Unplug the appliance. Open the dust compartment cover, remove the dust container. Insert the gasket into the groove, place the motor filter grille, then install the bag holder with a Pure Clean bag. To switch back to bagless mode, remove these parts and replace the dust container.

How to clean the Turbo brush?

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

The vacuum cleaner cannot be switched on.

The full dust bag/container indicator lights up although it is not full yet.

Low suction power.

Possible causes / Solutions

• The plug was not inserted or is not making contact.
- Change the dust bag. If large quantities of very fine dust/powder are sucked up (e.g. flour, etc), the full dust bag indicator may light up although the bag is not full yet. The reason is that the Pure Clean dust bag is able to retain very fine dust/powder particles, thus ensuring maximum hygiene.
- Clean the dust container in models without dust bag.
• Clean the filters and, if needed, replace them.
• Make sure the expansion pipe, flexible hose and brush are not blocked.

DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream.

Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery

and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
