SWITCHING ON AND OPERATION -Insert the hose (3) into the suction hole (6) so that it clicks into position. Pressing down the release button will help you remove the hose (3). (Fig. 1) -Attach the telescopic tube (2) to the handgrip (4), and adjust the length to suit the user. (Fig. 2) - Fit the floor brush (1), accessory number 18, 19, 20 to the vacuum tube (Fig. 3). The accessary parts 18, 19, 20 can also be affixed to the handgrip (4) (Fig. 4). -Holding the power cord by the plug, pull out the required length and plug it into the mains socket. (Fig. 5) -Press the On/Off pedal (7), (Fig. 6). Regulate the power using the power regulator (8), and push it from “-” to “+” to increase power while pushing it from “+” to “-” to reduce power (Fig. 7). The intensity can be regulated from the handgrip. Opening the flap (5) reduces suction, whereas closing it increases suction. (Fig. 8) -You can use the parking aid on the back of the vacuum cleaner if you wish to stop vacuuming for a short while. Slide the catch on the brush into the groove at the rear of the appliance (Fig. 9). -The wheels and 360° swivel joint and the carrying handle (11) make this vacuum cleaner extremely mobile. WHEN FINISHED When you have finished using the appliance, set the power regulator (8) to the minimum position and press the On/Off pedal. Press the automatic cable rewind pedal (9) to wind the cable back (Fig. 10). Clip the tube onto the vacuum cleaner in a vertical position (Fig. 11). REPLACING AND MAINTAINING Bag full indicator (10) When suction power decreases considerably and the bag full indicator lights up. This means that the dust bag (16) is full or that the hose, tube or filters are blocked. If this occurs, follow the instructions for changing the dust bag, cleaning the filters and unclog hose or tube. Changing the dust bag (16) -Open the cover following the direction of the guide-arrow. (Fig. 12) -Take the dust bag out of the dust bag holder (17). (Fig. 13) -Insert the bag into the bag holder, following the direction of the guide-arrow. Make sure that it slots fully down into its housing and that it fits correctly. Close the cover. Important: • The cover can not be closed if there is no bag fitted. Do not force it shut, check that the bag is fitted correctly. • If the suction is irregular and the bag full indicator stays lit, check that there is nothing blocking the hose, tube or air inlet.
