During use it is possible to return to “standby” mode by pressing the button in the middle of the
control panel (G) or on the panel (R) located on the handgrip (T) of the hose (M).
IMPORTANT: In some cases, you may hear a kind of “whistle” when the appliance is switched on.
This is not a fault and the noise should go away with time.
Blower function
Using air from the blower, it is possible to remove dust from those areas where it is not possible to
use the tools and attachments supplied; the blower can also be used to collect together, for example,
leaves in the garden.

SUCTION POWER AND BLOWER AIR ADJUSTMENT
It is possible to increase or reduce suction or blower air power to suit requirements using the “+” and
“s” buttons on the control panel (G) on the appliance body (Fig. 8) as well as on the control panel (R)
on the handgrip (T) of the hose (M) (Fig. 9).
There are 4 suction power levels: low, medium, high and turbo. The suction power is shown by the
number of indicator lights that switch on the control panel (G).
CAUTION: We recommend using minimum power for delicate materials. Select a medium power for
mattresses, upholstered furnishings and carpets. Select maximum power for tiled or wood floors or
surfaces in another hardwearing material.
The controls on the handgrip (T) of the hose (M) (Fig. 9) are battery operated and therefore, before
starting the appliance, if you wish to use the handgrip controls, you need to insert the batteries into
the special compartment in the handgrip (T) after first removing the cover (S).
CAUTION: Make sure that the batteries are correctly inserted and that the positive and negative poles
are in the right place. If the controls do not work, check the batteries and try replacing them with 2
new ones.
NOTE: The red indicator light under the controls on the handgrip (T) will switch on every time the
controls are used.
