Floor tools are subject to a certain amount of wear, depending
on the type of hard floors you
have (e.g. rough, rustic tiles).
Therefore, you must check the
underside of the floor tool at
regular intervals. Worn undersides of floor tools may have sharp
edges that can damage sensitive

Filter care
If the appliance cleans three times
in quick succession, this is probably due to a dirty fluff filter or a
blockage.
In this case, the appliance automatically adjusts to the lowest
power setting and the indicator
lights up red.
