Cleaning the suction hose:

If suction is reduced it may be caused by a blockage in the suction tube.

To remove a blockage, unplug the vacuum cleaner and return to the upright position. Pull out the suction tube from the connection to the vacuum cleaner by the suction ring, being sure to hold the handle with one hand to stabilise the vacuum cleaner.

Remove the blockage carefully, ensuring you do not damage the suction hose. Once removed, insert the suction hose back into the pipe and turn on the vacuum cleaner to check the blockage has cleared.
