Danger of injury! Never use a defective appliance! Always switch off theappliance and disconnect it before starting troubleshooting.Problem Possible cause / solutionThe dust filter bag change indicator ap-pears in the window (Fig. 21). The dust filter bag is full. Change the dust filter bag ZChapter 3.1, ‘Changing the dust filter bag’.The filters are dirty. Clean the respective filter, ZChapter 3.2, ‘Cleaning / changing the motor protection filter’ or ZChapter 3.3, ‘Cleaning / changing the exhaust filter’.Nozzle, telescopic tube or suction hose is blocked.Remove the obstacle. If necessary, use a long wooden stick (e. g. a broomstick) to do this.The vacuum cleaner stops suddenly.The overheating protection has tripped (possibly due to blocked suction channels, filters, or similar). 1. Switch the appliance off and pull the plug out of the socket. 2. Remove the cause of overheating (e.g. by disas-sembling telescopic tube and suction hose and re-moving the obstacle and/or cleaning filters). 3. Wait around 45 minutes until the appliance has cooled down. 4. After the appliance has cooled off, you may switch it on again.Problem Possible cause / solutionThe cleaning results are un-satisfactory in spite of the ap-pliance work-ing correctly.Bypass vent (Fig. 6) is open.Close the bypass vent (Fig. 6).Position of the suction power control is not appropri-ate (Fig. 14).Adjust the position of the suction power control (Fig. 14). The attached nozzle is unsuitable.Change the nozzle, ZChapter 2.1, ‘Assemble appli-ance and adjust nozzles to surface’.Collar brush of the floor nozzle is in a position inappro-priate to the floor (Fig. 7 – 8). Adjust the position of the collar brush to the floor via the switch on the floor nozzle (Fig. 7 – 8).When using the optional long, flexible crevice nozzle, the appliance generates a whistling sound and the suction power drops rapidly.Negative pressure in the vacuum cleaner is too high. This caused the safety valve in the vacuum cleaner to trigger.Open the bypass vent until the valve no longer trig-gers. NOTE: If you cannot solve the problem following these instructions, contact the Dirt Devil customer service (ZPage 46, ‘International Service’).
