HOW TO USE POWER BRUSH/WAND

WAND RELEASE

The power brush is not 
recommended for use on
bare floors. Wand release
pedal (

A

) on power brush

allows you to quickly 
disconnect wand and switch
to combination floor/rug tool
for use on bare floors.

POWER BRUSH NECK RELEASE

Push down power brush neck release pedal (

B

) to unlock

brush neck. Return the neck to the upright position for storage.

POWER BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The icons (

D

) refer to the carpet pile

height. Select height by depressing
height adjustment pedal (

C

) to desired

position:

(Extra-Low),      (Low),

(Medium) or        (High).

H

EIGHT ADJUSTMENT LED INDICATORS

The LEDs show the carpet pile covered
by the selected height, e.g.: when

(High) is selected, all LEDs will be lit, since this height

covers all pile heights. So if      (Extra-Low) is selected, only the
lowest LED will be lit.

WAND LENGTH ADJUSTMENT

Extend (

E

) or shorten (

F

)

the wand to comfortable
work position by holding
the wand grip (

G

) in one

hand and sliding the upper
section (the one with the
prongs) with the other
hand.

EDGE CLEANER

Brush extends full width for effective edge cleaning along both
sides of nozzle. To operate, simply run cleaner along edge
board. Rubber bumper protects furniture and baseboards.

ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BREAKER

The power brush is equipped
with an electronic circuit breaker
that protects the motor and the
belt if a too large object is
picked up accidentally.

If the power brush stops while
vacuuming, turn the power unit
off using handle. Release the
power brush from the wand
and turn it over to see if there is an obstruction. When brush
roll jam has been cleared, press the reset button (

H

) and 

connect the power brush back to the wand. Finally, turn the
power unit/power brush back on. If it fails to restart or continues
to trip without any apparent reason, the power brush must be
serviced by an authorized service center.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

CLEANING BRUSH ROLL

In order to keep high cleaning efficiency and to prevent 
damage to your vacuum cleaner, the brush roll must be
cleaned every time the belt is changed.

The brush roll must also be cleaned according to the following
