6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Hoover HFG10P011.

Emptying the Dust Container:

As a bagless vacuum cleaner, the HFG10P011 features a 0.55 L dust container. Empty it regularly to maintain suction power.

2. Locate the dust container release button.
3. Press the button to detach the dust container.
4. Empty the contents into a waste bin.
5. Reattach the dust container securely until it clicks into place.

Filter Maintenance:

The HEPA 11 filter is crucial for trapping fine dust and allergens. It is removable and washable.

1. With the dust container removed, carefully extract the HEPA filter.
2. Tap the filter gently to remove loose dust.
3. Rinse the filter under cold running water until the water runs clear.
4. Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting. Do not use a hairdryer or other heating devices.
5. Replace the filter if it shows signs of damage or excessive wear.

Cleaning the Brush Head:

Periodically check the motorized brush head for tangled hair or debris that may reduce its effectiveness.

• Turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner.
• Remove any hair or fibers wrapped around the brush roll using scissors or a brush.
• Ensure the brush roll spins freely after cleaning.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Hoover HFG10P011, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power: Check if the battery is charged and properly inserted. Ensure the power button is pressed.
• Reduced Suction: Empty the dust container. Clean or replace the HEPA filter. Check for blockages in the tube or brush head.
• Brush Head Not Rotating: Check for obstructions in the brush roll. Ensure the brush head is correctly attached.
• Short Battery Runtime: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Avoid continuous use of Turbo mode. Battery performance may decrease over time.
• Overheating: As this model does not have an overheating safety stop, ensure air vents are clear and the vacuum is not used for extended periods in high-temperature environments. Allow the unit to cool down if it feels excessively warm.
