bottom of the stairs and move up-
wards.

Unwind the mains cable (dia. 18)

quired length (max. cable length ap-
prox. 5.5 m).

Insert the plug into the socket cor-
rectly and switch on.

If vacuuming for longer than 30
minutes, the mains cable must be
pulled out to its fullest extent. Other-
wise there is a danger of overheating
and damage.

move the plug.

cable will rewind automatically.

To regulate the suction power
(dia. 21)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to man-
oeuvre the floorhead.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on
the controls which indicate the type of
use the settings are suitable for.
