7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your vacuum cleaner, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Power: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet and the vacuum cleaner. Ensure the outlet is functional.
• Reduced Suction:
  • Empty the dust container if it is full.
  • Clean or replace the filters as described in the Maintenance section.
  • Check the hose, telescopic tube, and floor nozzle for any blockages.
  • Ensure the air flow regulator on the handle is closed for maximum suction.
• Unusual Noise: This could indicate a blockage in the hose or nozzle, or a foreign object caught in the brush head. Disconnect power and inspect.
• Overheating: If the vacuum cleaner stops working and feels hot, it may have overheated. Unplug it and allow it to cool down for at least 30 minutes. Check for blockages and clean filters before restarting.

If the problem persists after following these steps, please contact Rowenta customer support.
