Important: Do not use hot water or detergents to wash the filters or permanent dust
bag. In the unlikely event of the filters or dust bag becoming damaged, fit a genuine
Candy replacement. Do not try and use the product without the bag or filters fitted.
Removing a blockage from the system - If the bag check indicator is illuminated:
1. Check if the bag is full. If so refer to 'Replacing the dust bag'.
2. If the bag is not full but the indicator is illuminated:
Do the filters need cleaning? If so refer to 'Cleaning the washable filters'
Check if there is any other blockage in the system - Use a rod or pole to re
move any blockage from the extension tube or flexible hose.
Warning –The bag check indicator will remain illuminated if the cleaner is used when
the bag is full, if there is a blockage or if the filters are dirty. If used for a period of
over ten minutes with the bag check indicator illuminated, an electronic cut out will
switch the cleaner off to prevent any risk of overheating. If this should happen, switch
the cleaner off, unplug and correct the fault (see ‘ Removing a Blockage From the
System’). The cut out will automatically reset upon switching the cleaner back on.
