Problem Solution
The appliance stops suddenly	The integrated overheating protection has responded (possibly due to an overfilled dust container or similar) In this case, proceed as follows:1. Switch off the appliance.2. Pull plug from main socket.3. Eliminate the cause of overheating (either the dust container needs emptying - see the section on “Emptying the dust container”, or the filters need cleaning - see the section on "Cleaning or replacing the motor pre-filter" or there is a blockage somewhere, which needs to be removed).4. Include the suction hose, nozzle, and tube and search for the cause of the overheating.5. Close the cover and re-fit all accessory.6. Wait another 45 minutes.After the appliance has cooled off, you may switch it on again.
The appliance hardly picks up any dust and/or the suction power drops	The dust container needs to be emptied (see the section on “Emptying/cleaning the dust container”).It is advisable to take this opportunity to clean the filters at the same time (see “Cleaning or replacing the motor pre-filter”).
	With the switchable floor nozzle attached, the switch is not in a position appropriate to the type of floor.Select the correct position for the switch.
Odours spread or even dust escapes from the appliance	It is likely that parts of the dust container or vacuum cleaner accessories that were dismantled to clean the filter or change accessories were not properly reinstalled or closed. Check that all parts are correctly and firmly in place.

• If this does not help, please contact our customer service.
