'Emptying the dirt container'.
The filters are dirty. Clean the filter > Chapter 5.2, 'Cleaning dirt
container and pre-motor filter' or > Chapter 5.3, 'Cleaning the
post-motor filter'.
Tool/accessory, telescopic tube or suction hose is blocked.
Remove the obstruction. If necessary, use a long wooden stick

The attached tool/accessory, is unsuitable. Change the tool/
accessory, > Chapter 3.2, 'Selecting the proper nozzle'.

unplug the vacuum cleaner. Remove and empty the dirt
container and check the hose for blockages. Clean the filters
and allow the vacuum cleaner to cool for approximately 1 hour
