Regulating the suction
(for models with a rotary suction power
selector)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring. The higher the
setting the more powerful the suction.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to
manoeuvre the floorhead.
The controls also have symbols. The
symbols indicate the type of use the
settings are suitable for.
a
- curtains, lightweight fabrics
b
- upholstery, cushions
c
- thick pile carpets, rugs and
runners
d
- for energy-saving daily use
e
- lightly soiled rugs and fitted
carpets
f
- heavily soiled hard flooring, and
for intensive cleaning of carpets
^
Turn the rotary selector manually to
the suction power setting you require.
Opening the air inlet valve
Opening the air inlet valve reduces the
suction power quickly for brief periods,
e.g. to prevent damage to the fringes of
a rug when moving from cleaning a
carpeted floor to a rug, or to prevent
something being vacuumed up by
mistake.
^
Open the air inlet valve far enough to
reduce the suction power.
The floorhead will be easier to
manoeuvre. Close the valve when you
are ready to use full power again.
