The cleaning performance of the vacuum cleaner with bag is reduced.
Something bulky has been vacuumed up (e.g. large leaves from house plants) and is blocking the suction tube. The casing gets very hot as air is unable to escape as required.
Disassemble the floorhead, hose, handle and telescopic tube.
You can carefully push large items which are jammed in the hose or in the telescopic tube towards the floorhead using a long object (e.g. a broom handle).
Items causing a blockage are usually easy to shake out of the handle.
The suction power is reduced if the dust container, the exhaust filter or the motor protection filter is full and therefore will not let any air through.
Switch off the vacuum cleaner and unplug it from the socket.
Replace the vacuum cleaner bag, the exhaust filter or the motor protection filter, if necessary, or empty the dust container.
Vacuum cleaner bags and additional accessories can be found in our Miele online shop; see the “Miele online shop” link.
