The floor brush is equipped with a hook, allowing you to attach the tube either underneath the appliance for storing it, or to the rear part of the appliance when it is in use, for instance when you want to move piece of furniture. The vacuum cleaner requires no other regular maintenance other than the filter cleaning and bag replacement tasks as detailed here above. If you notice a loss of suction power, it is probably due to one or a combination of the following events: blocked filter, full or punctured bag or blockage in tubes. If your appliance still does not work properly after you have checked those problems, please ask a qualified electrician for advice.
