7. Probleemoplossing

If your vacuum cleaner is not operating correctly, consult the following common issues before seeking professional service.

Algemene kwessies:

• Geen krag: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Verminderde suiging: Verify that the hose and attachments are free from blockages. Check if the filters are clean and properly installed. For wet pickup, ensure the foam filter is not clogged. For dry pickup, ensure the cartridge filter is clean and the dust bag (if used) is not full.
• Automatic Cord Rewind Malfunction: If the cord does not retract smoothly, gently pull out a small section of the cord and press the rewind button again. Ensure the cord is not tangled or obstructed.
• Water Shut-off during Wet Pickup: This is a normal function. The float mechanism automatically shuts off suction when the tank is full to prevent overflow. Empty the tank and resume operation.
