[. . . ] Remove the hose out and check it's clear. If there is a blockage use a blunt object such as a finger, or blunt end of a ball-point pen to dislodge it, don't use anything sharp. Open the lid, carefully remove the bag, and check the pre-motor filter. If you haven't cleared the blockage by now, try again. [. . . ]
