Troubleshooting
Vacuum cleaner has reduced suction power.
Check if the dust bag is full and needs replacement. Ensure the hose, tubes, and nozzles are not blocked. Verify the HEPA filter is clean or needs replacing.
The vacuum cleaner will not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position.
The motor sounds unusual or overheats.
Turn off the vacuum immediately and unplug it. Check for blockages in the hose or accessories. Allow the vacuum to cool down before restarting. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
The power cord does not rewind automatically.
Ensure the cord is pulled out to its full length before attempting to rewind. Avoid pulling the cord back sharply. If it remains stuck, check for kinks or damage.
