Service Checklist · If your vacuum will not operate, check the plug connection, plug fuse and mains fuse. · Never allow the dust cup to become so full that it impedes the air flow, thus reducing the cleaning efficiency of the machine. The character of household dust and its effect on the air flow through the machine may vary considerably. Fluffy dust allows air to pass through readily whereas fine powdery dust or proprietary cleaning powders pack tightly in the dust cup, offering greater resistance to air flow and will reduce cleaning efficiency if the cup becomes overloaded.
