Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.

Clearing blockages is not covered by your guarantee.

If you can’t clear an obstruction from the cleaner head, you may need to
remove the brush bar. Use a coin to unlock the fastener, slide the brush bar
out of the cleaner head and remove the obstruction. Replace the brush bar
and securely tighten the fastener.

Make sure it is fixed firmly before using your machine.

with them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after
handling the brushes.
