K) TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Before contacting your Panasonic service centre, check the following points:
NOTE: Failure to correctly maintain your product, for example regular cleaning and unblocking, may result
in a charge if referred to a service agent for attention.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT from the mains socket before carrying out any kind of
maintenance operation.
TROUBLE
Motor fails to rotate
(no noise is heard at all).
Motor runs but there is
no suction.
Beater bar does not rotate.
Thermal Cut-out
This vacuum cleaner is fitted with a thermal cut-out device which automatically turns off the cleaner to prevent
overheating of the motor. When this happens, disconnect the cleaner from the mains socket and check the dust
compartment and filters as it may be full or clogged with fine dust. Check for any other obstructions.
After emptying the dust compartment or removing the obstruction, leave the vacuum cleaner to cool down until the
thermal cut-out resets after approximately 40 minutes.
Important: The thermal cut-out will not reset if the unit is not disconnected from the mains socket.
Mains lead
IMPORTANT: If the mains lead becomes damaged, it must be repaired by Panasonic, authorised service centre or a
qualified person in order to avoid any hazard.
