This usually happens because the filters need washing or your machine is blocked.

Remember to turn the power off and unplug the machine before you check the filters and look for blockages prior to restarting the machine.

Check the floor tool

Press the release button on the Turbine head to remove from the Extension tube.

Slide back the soleplate catch and turn the two fasteners by a quarter.

Check for blockages

Remove the Brush bars and clear any hair, thread and debris

Check both of the metal shafts for blockages and ensure they rotate freely by hand

Inspect the duct on the underside of the Turbine head for blockages and remove if necessary.

Check the outside surface of the plunger for fluff and debris and remove if necessary.

Check the outside surface of the plunger for fluff and debris and remove if necessary.

When replacing the Brush bars please ensure that both the arrows on the Brush bars are pointing in the same direction towards the wheels on the Turbine head.

Replace the soleplate, locking the front tabs first and reclining the soleplate down. Lock the two fasteners and slide back the soleplate catch.

Check the Turbine head has the correct setting for your floor

Pull plunger out for the Brush bar to spin (for carpet cleaning).

Push plunger in for to stop the Brush bar spinning (for hard floors or delicate surfaces).

Retest the machine.

Check Mini turbine head

Undo both fasteners on the soleplate by a quarter.

Check for blockages

Remove each side of the Brush bar by sliding each half out from the sides of the Mini turbine head.

Clear any thread and debris.

Check both of the metal shafts for blockages and ensure that they rotate freely by hand.

Inspect the duct on the underside of the Turbine head for blockages and remove as necessary.

Check the outside surface of the plunger for fluff and debris and remove as necessary.

When replacing the Brush bars please ensure that both of the arrows on the Brush bars are pointing in the same direction, towards the rear of the tool.

Reassemble both Brush bar parts to the metal shafts.

Re-assemble the soleplate ensuring that it is flush and fasteners are locked.

Pull out the plunger to allow Brush bar to spin.

If there is any damage to the Mini turbine head choose 'part broken' to place an order.

Retest the machine.

Blockage issue

The Mini turbine head will need strong suction to allow the Brush bar to spin.

There could be a blockage causing a loss of performance.

Test the suction from the extension tube

Remove the floor tool from the extension tube by pressing the release catch on the floor tool.

Grip cuff firmly to extend extension tube fully, ensuring it can extend no further.

Place your hand over the end of the extension tube and test the suction.

Checking the duct, cyclone and bin

Remove the bin by pressing the catch on top of the handle.

Remove the cyclone from the bin by pressing the release catch on top of the clear handle.

Clean the shroud with a cloth or dry brush to remove the fluff and dust.

Check the bin and cyclone:

• Ensure the bin inner is clear and large cone seal is not missing or damaged.
• Ensure the cyclone is clean and remove blockages as necessary. Tap cyclone to remove tougher debris.

Check the bin and cyclone:

• Ensure the bin inner is clear and large cone seal is not missing or damaged.
• Ensure the cyclone is clean and remove blockages as necessary. Tap cyclone to remove tougher debris.

Close the pre-filter cover lid ensuring the filter is inside, reconnect the bin and cyclone and attach to the machine.

If any parts are missing or damaged choose part broken to place an order.

Retest the machine.

Filter washing

Turn power off and unplug the machine.

The post-motor filter located under the clear bin should last the lifetime of the machine and does not need to be washed.

Press the release catch on the cyclone and remove the filter and filter casing from the machine.

You can change the resistance of the floor tool by adjusting the red airflow ports on its base.

Push the tabs inwards to ensure best resistance.

Wash the filter in cold water only.

Leave the filter to dry in a warm place for 12 hours, until completely dry.

Do not dry the filter in a tumble dryer, microwave, oven or near a naked flame.

The filter should be washed at least once every 6 months.

If the filter is missing or damaged choose 'part broken'.

Using the cable

Ensure the machine is switched off.

Unplug the machine before rewinding the cable.

If the cable does not rewind, firmly pull it out and fully extend it until the red tape is visible.

The cord rewind button needs to be pressed down firmly to retract the cord for storage after use. When the button is pressed down far enough you should feel and hear a click, and the cord will retract.
